Dave & Buster's reported Q2 FY2026 revenue of $544.1M (down 2.4% YoY) with comparable store sales declining 2.9%. The company posted a net loss of $12.5M ($0.36 per diluted share) versus net income of $11.4M ($0.32 per share) in Q2 FY2025. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $98.9M from $129.8M. The company opened 6 new domestic stores in Q2, operates 250 total stores (184 Dave & Buster's, 66 Main Event), and generated $19.5M adjusted free cash flow for the six-month period with $492.1M available liquidity.
Why this rating
Revenue decline and comp-sales drop signal softening demand; $12.5M quarterly loss material for ~$1B market cap. EBITDA down 24% YoY meaningful. However, liquidity strong, free cash flow positive, and management signals July/Q3 improvement.
