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.
