Recent takeover target FUN has hit resistance but could present some nice opportunities on a break above $59.
Cedar Fair (FUN -2.8%) turned down a $4B cash-and-stock offer from Six Flags Entertainment (SIX +2.2%), sources tell Reuters.
The theme park operator is said to have considered the ~$70 deal price plus some cash as inadequate.
Six Flags is not expected to come in with a new offer.
Cedar Fair is back to $59.26, still above where FUN shares stood when the Six Flags story first broke.
Currently has a average analysts price target of $62 and a buy rating.
P/E ratio 19.42
