United Parks & Resorts: Near-Term Performance Is Murky
I maintain a neutral stance on United Parks & Resorts stock due to uncertain near-term demand, macroeconomic headwinds, and competition from Universal's Epic Universe. Elevated inflation, high interest rates, and increased discounting efforts suggest PRKS may struggle to grow earnings. Despite trading at a discount, I recommend holding PRKS until there's clearer evidence of demand recovery and the competitive impact from Epic Universe is assessed.
