Dave & Buster's Entertainment Financial Ratios 2026-2011 | PLAY
Brief overview of Dave & Buster's Entertainment's multiples and efficiency
The comparison uses the five latest available annual observations between 2020 and 2025.
The current valuation set is P/E 11.29x (median 12.74x), EV/EBITDA 0.98x (median 3.62x), P/S 0.18x (median 0.89x). Multiples are on average 72.9% below their own medians. Shares look cheaper than their recent historical valuation.
The 1/P/E calculation produces a 8.9% earnings yield. It does not capture future growth or capital structure.
Returns on assets and capital are represented by ROE -53.4%, ROA -1.2%, ROCE 94.4%. Losses and negative capital returns make ordinary P/E-like references unstable or inapplicable.
On PEG (0.13x), valuation is restrained relative to growth, but one ratio cannot replace cash-flow and risk analysis.
A shorter cycle, from -31 days to -106.1 days, indicates faster release of cash from operations.
What the ratios show
Dave & Buster's Entertainment's discount may reflect genuine profitability issues rather than market inefficiency alone.
