Read MoreHide Full Article
Dave & Buster's (PLAY - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $49.65, moving +1.45% from the previous trading session. This move outpaced the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.05%. Elsewhere, the Dow gained 0.26%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.3%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the owner of Dave & Buster's, a chain of restaurants and arcades had gained 2.62% over the past month. This has lagged the Retail-Wholesale sector's gain of 4.01% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.08% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from PLAY as it approaches its next earnings report date. On that day, PLAY is projected to report earnings of $1.12 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 7.69%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $369.47 million, up 11.22% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $3.06 per share and revenue of $1.39 billion. These totals would mark changes of +4.44% and +10.16%, respectively, from last year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for PLAY should also be noted by investors. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection has moved 2.63% higher. PLAY is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that PLAY has a Forward P/E ratio of 15.98 right now. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 21.92, which means PLAY is trading at a discount to the group.
Investors should also note that PLAY has a PEG ratio of 1.08 right now. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. The Retail - Restaurants was holding an average PEG ratio of 2.02 at yesterday's closing price.
The Retail - Restaurants industry is part of the Retail-Wholesale sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 154, putting it in the bottom 40% of all 250+ industries.
