Six Flags Entertainment Stock News

Six Flags Entertainment (NYSE:SIX) may face a smaller financial hit from the fatal Georgia coaster accident than the market is pricing in, UBS said as it lowered its price target to $18 from $27.  A 42-year-old guest was ejected from the Goliath coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia on Oct. 12, and other guests were injured.

It is a make-or-break moment for the amusement-park operator, which has struggled since a July 2024 merger.

The stock slumped to $9.98 a share – its lowest level this year and on track for its worst closing price since 2009 – as Six Flags temporarily shuttered nine coasters across six of its parks following the tragedy.

The amusement park company said it was closing similar attractions across its parks after several people were injured.

Six Flags Entertainment tumbles following a report that says it has temporarily closed some of its rides in the U.S. and Canada.

A fatal accident on a Six Flags Entertainment roller coaster sent shares of the amusement-park operator near the lowest level of the year.

One person died and several others were injured in the incident at Six Flags Over Georgia, according to reports, citing local police. The after-hours plunge marked a sharp reversal from regular trading, when shares closed 4.5% higher.
