An activist investor group led by JANA Partners is urging Six Flags to explore a sale, which could set a new valuation benchmark for theme parks and impact Disney's valuation of its own parks segment. Six Flags is struggling financially, with widening losses and high debt, trading at a 14x EV/EBITDA multiple. A sale price for Six Flags would provide a clear market reference for valuing Disney's profitable but conglomerate-embedded parks business. However, a low sale price due to Six Flags' distress could lower the perceived value of Disney's parks. Investors should watch for official sale moves or banker mandates for clearer signals.
