Monday, April 22, 8:38 AM Six Flags (SIX) beat estimates as the company benefited from a calendar shift which saw more schools schedule spring breaks in March than April a year ago. Sector watch: The company - along with sector peers Cedar Fair (FUN) and SeaWorld (SEAS) - continues to see the initiative of upselling guests early on seasonal passes pay off. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Monday, April 8, 12:22 PM Blackstone's (BX +0.5%) planned IPO of SeaWorld has been quintupled to $500M from $100M. SeaWorld’s sales last year were around $1.43B - a larger amount than both Six Flags (SIX -0.9%) and Cedar Fair (FUN -0.6%) churned up. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, March 28, 11:16 AM Sidoti initiates coverage on Cedar Fair (FUN +0.2%) with a Buy rating and $47 price target. The amusement park operator is experiencing good early season sales with 25% of its yearly passes already sold. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, February 28, 7:33 AM Cedar Fair (FUN) announces it will launch an offering of $500M in senior unsecured notes. The company says it will use the proceeds along with borrowings from its credit facilities to repay existing debt obligations. Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, February 27, 8:14 AM Cedar Fair, L.P. (FUN) declares quarterly distribution of $0.625/share, 56.3% increase from prior dividend of $0.40. Forward yield 6.80%. For shareholders of record Mar. 15. Payable Mar. 25. Ex-div date Mar. 13. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Tuesday, February 19, 10:06 AM Cedar Fair (FUN +0.1%) says it's on track to meet its long-term EBITDA target of $450M or more by 2016 even after missing estimates during Q4. What to watch: Last year, the company saw average spending per guest rise 4.8% at its parks, a mark that could be trickier to match with the higher payroll taxes in effect. Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, February 19, 7:53 AM Cedar Fair (FUN): Q4 EPS of -$0.19 misses by $0.16. Revenue of $129.2M misses by $1.4M. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Breaking News]

Friday, January 11, 2:07 PM Cedar Fair (FUN +0.4%) CEO Matt Oimet says so-called "stacations" will remain popular as consumers look for ways to take vacations without breaking their budget. The trend plays into the company's strength with its strong Midwest focus. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Friday, January 4, 8:32 AM After filing for an IPO last month, SeaWorld may explore a private sale before taking the public plunge. According to sources, preliminary talks with P-E firms are ongoing. Despite the flirtation, the IPO route may be more favorable with peers Six Flags (SIX) and Cedar Fair (FUN) soaring over the last year to push up amusement park sector valuations. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, January 3, 5:42 PM After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: NAVB +5%. ROVI +5%. SHLM +5%. UVXY +2%. SNTS +2%.
After-hours top losers: ARAY -20%. VTNC -7%. SUSP -6%. ITMN -6%. FUN -5%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, January 2, 11:08 AM The upcoming IPO of SeaWorld could raise the profile for Six Flags (SIX +1.2%) and Cedar Fair (FUN +2.1%) with valuation speculated to range as high as $3B. The prevailing line of thought from some analysts after taking in SeaWorld's S-1 is that Six Flags and Cedar Fair may pose more bang for the buck while also offering up better diversification with their properties. Comment! [Consumer]
