Six Flags Entertainment Corporation

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said

“Safety remains our highest priority. Following the incident at Six Flags Over Georgia last month, we are cooperating fully with the ongoing investigation. We have launched a comprehensive review of ride safety across our entire portfolio, supported by independent third-party engineering and inspection specialists. Our robust safety programs and practices are designed to meet or exceed established industry standards. We will conduct this work thoroughly, looking for opportunities to further strengthen our approach to ride safety,”

How the share price reacted

Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
