United Parks & Resorts (PRKS) Stock Analysis & Forecast
Oct 12 close
$33.77+1.10 (+3.4%)
Gekko Brief
AI summaryOct 12 closeUnited Parks & Resorts confirmed that its third quarter 2026 earnings release will come before the market opens on 5 November 2026, with the conference call details also announced. No other company, product or deal news accompanied the update this week, leaving the earnings calendar as the main point of note.
PRKS closed at $33.77, up 3.4% on the day, though the stock remains below both its 50-day average of $39.01 and its 200-day average of $38.43, with one-month, three-month and one-year returns all negative. The GekkoIndex reads 64.3, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone, down slightly from five days ago. Against a Gekko Fair Value of $49.93, the current price sits 32.4% below that level.
The next 20 trading days bring the 5 November earnings report, with the company's last quarter having missed EPS estimates ($0.48 actual versus $0.55 expected) and produced a 2.6% reaction, against an average absolute move of 5.7% across recent reports. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in the respective 90-day and 30-day windows, and no billionaire holders are recorded, though two trailblazer holders are noted. Seasonality over this calendar stretch has averaged a 6.4% gain across 5 years, rising in 4 of them, a pattern worth noting alongside the proximity of earnings.

- What they said
- United Parks Q4 2025 results fell short of expectations due to lower international visitation, fewer operating days, and volatile weather patterns. The company achieved record in-park per capita spending despite flat underlying attendance trends. Management has implemented cost reduction measures and planned investments in new rides, attractions, marketing, and food/retail locations for 2026. The company repurchased 6.7 million shares (12% of outstanding) through February 2026.
- Guidance
- Discovery Cove advance bookings are up high single digits for 2026, with company-wide group bookings pacing up over 50%. Management expects sponsorship business to represent a $30+ million revenue opportunity in coming years.
