Dave & Busters Q4 2025 Earnings: A Miss Across the Board
Dave & Busters recent earnings report for Q4 2025 was disappointing, with revenue remaining flat at $529.6 million, falling short of the expected $554.4 million. Adjusted earnings per share showed a loss of $0.35, significantly below the forecasted $0.46. Same-store sales dropped by 3.3%, and operating margins plummeted to -2.6% from 8.3% in the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $111.4 million, missing the $124.3 million mark. Despite CEO Tarun Lals optimism about their back-to-basics plan, the market reacted negatively, with shares plunging 8.8% to $9.89, leaving a market cap of $348.2 million. While revenue grew at a solid 37% compound rate post-COVID, the last two years saw annual drops of 2.4%, propped up by new locations. Same-store sales have averaged 6% declines recently. Analysts still predict 6% revenue growth and earnings flipping positive to $0.89 per share next year.
