Dave & Buster’s Entertainment (PLAY)
Consumer Discretionary
Gordon Haskett Research Advisors
Trading at ~6x 2023E EBITDA (20% discount vs. pre-Covid), Jeff Farmer views PLAY shares as increasingly compelling given: 1) Recapture of pre-Covid sales volumes. 2) Far less exposed to commodity price / wage rate inflation than a traditional restaurant business model. 3) Top line catalysts from a new CEO (e.g. more aggressive pursuit of traffic-driving strategies; increased sports viewing awareness; introduction of sports betting / partnerships; recently launched loyalty programme). TP $50 (40% upside).
For those interested in the wider restaurant sector, Jeff has also written a compelling report on the 10 dynamics that he sees having the greatest influence on share price performance in 1H22.
