NULL -> Buy
Reason
Texas Capital initiated coverage of Dave & Buster's with a Buy rating and $48 price target. The company had suffered from a combination of poor store-level attendance and sales over the past two years caused by the combination of a value-focused consumer economy and a number of strategic initiatives from the previous management that failed to reverse same-store sales declines, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm adds however that while still early in the turnaround efforts, it is optimistic that the new management team in place and the "back to basics" focus has the potential to increasingly appeal to the target entertainment-seeking customer base as Dave & Buster's continues to expand the network in a more spend-appropriate manner.

Reason
Piper Sandler analyst Brian Mullan raised the firm's price target on Dave & Buster's to $30 from $22 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares following quarterly results. While the Q1 same-store sales result of down 8.3% was below consensus, the more relevant takeaway tonight has to do with Dave & Buster's monthly disclosures. Specifically, Piper notes that the same-store sales progression over the last several months has been down 11.9% in February, down 8.4% in March, down 4.3% in April, and now running only down 2.2% in the Q2-to-date time period. While there is still a lot of "wood to chop" at Dave & Buster's, the firm would expect the stock to react favorably.

Reason
Truist analyst Jake Bartlett raised the firm's price target on Dave & Buster's to $29 from $22 but keeps a Hold rating on the shares after its Q1 results. The company's comps and adjusted EBITDA missed consensus estimates, but its commentary suggests significantly improved recent SSS trends as its interim CEO has implemented a 'back to basics' strategy of refocusing on new amusement games and switching back to TV advertising, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says it would remain on the sidelines however given Dave & Buster's history of market share loss.

Reason
BMO Capital analyst Andrew Strelzik raised the firm's price target on Dave & Buster's to $35 from $30 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company's Q1 EBITDA of $136M was $6M below consensus, reflecting repair and maintenance investments and pre-opening cost timing, though traffic improved throughout the current quarter, with quarter-to-date comps down just 2.2% and positive comps seen in 11 of the past 30 days, the analyst tells investors in a research note. BMO adds it is encouraged by early traction behind the Back to Basics strategy, which now has comps ahead of its expectations.
