Latest analyst commentary:
Dave & Buster's analyst commentary at SunTrust Dave & Buster's price target raised to $74 from $64 at SunTrust. SunTrust analyst Jake Bartlett raised his price target on Dave & Buster's to $74 and kept his Buy rating after its better than expected Q2, saying the beat in comps at -2.4% vs. -2.7% consensus highlights the company's recovery and the positive impact of its VR launch. The analyst notes that VR's contribution to SSS was in low-single digits and expects it to be "sustained and built upon" with additional "marquee" content. Bartlett also adds that he has even greater confidence in the turnaround of Dave & Buster's comps coming "without meaningful margin pressure".

longWhy i like this stock:
There was a nice move on the upside and then the stock pause for a moment because a stock cant go higher forever so it pause and yesterday the stock break out of that tight consolidation with good volume and with a very strong candle so im expecting a move on the upside and a continuation from the prior uptrend.
PLAY - Short at the break of 39.43 to as low as 28PLAY is forming a potential head & shoulder. It is rolling over & moneyflow is rolling over too. It also had insider selling recently.
It has good potential to go down from here to 28 area, and for short we have very good risk-reward ration over 5:1.
For trade we are also considering $40 January puts.
