Shares of Six Flags (NYSE:FUN) hit a 52-week low today before closing at $6.77.

The company has been stumbling since the former Six Flags and Cedar Fair, then owner of Dorney Park, merged in 2024.

This evening, Chief Executive John Reilly put out a statement on the recent death at a Georgia park and on safety.

Putting out a CEO statement at 8 p.m. Eastern time on a Friday is unusual.

The press release says the company is cooperating with investigations.
