Six Flags Plunges to Five-Year Low on Warning Over China Parks

 

Six Flags Entertainment Corp. fell as much as 19% in pre-market-the stockโ€™s worst loss ever, after warning that troubles with its planned China theme parks will hurt revenue โ€“ and could lead to all of the projects being canceled.

 

The stock tumbled as low as $35.28 in New York trading Friday, its lowest intraday level since October 2014.

 

Six Flags said its Chinese development partner, Riverside Investment Group, โ€œcontinues to face severe challenges due to the macroeconomic environment and the declining real estate market in Chinaโ€ and had defaulted on required payments to Six Flags. Riverside didnโ€™t immediately respond to a request for comment.

 

Six Flags is developing parks in Haiyan, in Zhejiang province, and in the Bishan district of Chongqing, according to its website.

 

The domestic market provided Six Flags no respite. The Grand Prairie, Texas-based company said attendance at its North American parks fell โ€œdue to softer than expected season pass and membership sales, primarily during the holiday sales periods.โ€ That probably reduced fourth-quarter revenue by $8 million to $10 million compared with the year-earlier period, Six Flags said. Six Flags shares were down 19% last year, while peer SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. rose 44%.
