## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 13.0×** (5-yr avg 14.9×, 3-yr avg 13.7×). United Parks & Resorts Inc. trades at 13.0× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 14.9×. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 7.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 0.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.9×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **EV / EBITDA: 7.3×**. Enterprise value is 7.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 11.2%** (5-yr avg 7.6%). Free cash flow equals 11.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of 7.6%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 7.7%**. The inverse of the P/E: 7.7% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 19.2%**. 19.2% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 10.1%**. 10.1% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: -38.6%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -3.6%** (3-yr -1.3%/yr, 5-yr 30.9%/yr). Revenue fell 3.6% over the last year, against 30.9% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -19.3%** (3-yr -9.6%/yr). Earnings per share fell 19.3%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

- **Current ratio: 0.74** (quick 0.74). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
