Dave &amp; Buster&#8217;s Entertainment Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLAY#NASDAQ">PLAY</a>) reported fourth-quarter financial results after the market close on Monday. Here&#8217;s a look at the key highlights <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44673682/dave-busters-reports-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-end-2024-financial-results-repurchases-108-mil">from the quarter</a>.
Q4 Earnings: Dave &amp; Buster's reported fourth-quarter revenue of $534.5 million, missing analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $550.37 million, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>. The entertainment and dining company reported adjusted earnings of 69 cents per share, missing estimates of 71 cents per share.
Total revenue decreased 10.8% year-over-year as comparable store sales fell 9.4%. The company noted that the fourth quarter of 2024 had one less week than the fourth quarter of 2023. 
Dave &amp; Buster&#8217;s said it generated $108.9 million in operating cash flow during the fourth quarter. The company also repurchased approximately five million shares in fiscal 2024, and had approximately $104 million remaining on its buyback as of Monday.
Dave &amp; Buster&#8217;s ended the&nbsp;quarter with&nbsp;$6.9 million&nbsp;in cash and&nbsp;$503.5&nbsp;million&nbsp;of available liquidity under its&nbsp;$650 million&nbsp;revolving credit facility.
&#8220;While we are disappointed by our results in the&nbsp;fourth quarter, we are very encouraged by the clear opportunities we have identified over the past few months and the most recent trends in the business since taking actions to unwind mistakes and make appropriate changes,&#8221; said Kevin Sheehan, board chair and interim CEO of Dave &amp; Buster&#8217;s.
&#8220;Previous leadership, while well-intentioned, made significant and ill-advised changes to marketing, food and beverage, operations, remodels and games investment that negatively impacted the business,&#8221; said Sheehan. 
&#8220;The current leadership team has been systematically unwinding these mistakes and pursuing a &#8216;back to basics&#8217; strategy while making high-confidence improvements to the key areas of the business entirely in line with our previously communicated strategic plan.&#8221;

Last quarter, Dave &amp; Buster&#8217;s announced a CEO transition. The board is currently working with a global executive search firm to find the company&#8217;s next CEO. The company did not provide an update on its CEO search in the fourth-quarter release.
Dave &amp; Buster&#8217;s said it expects total capital expenditures to be less than $220 million in fiscal-year 2025.
Management will further discuss the quarter on a conference call with investors and analysts at 5 p.m. ET.

U.S. stock futures fell sharply on Monday after two days of decline last week. Futures of major benchmark indices were over 3% lower in premarket trading.
The selloff that started on Thursday intensified on Friday as China introduced its retaliatory measures to U.S. tariffs. As of Friday, the S&amp;P 500 was nearing the bear market zone as it closed 17.46% lower than its previous record high of 6,147.43 points.
Dow was 14.99% down from its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points, whereas the Nasdaq 100 was already in the bear market territory, 21.71% lower from its high of 22,222.61 points.
The hopes of a Fed &#8216;put&#8217; remained on standby as Jerome Powell said Friday that "It is too soon to say what will be the appropriate path for monetary policy.&#8221;
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 3.93% and the two-year bond was at 3.51%. However, the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections rose, showing markets pricing a 48.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve easing the current interest rates in its May meeting.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks closed Friday lower, with all sectors in the red. Financials, energy, and information technology led the S&amp;P 500 sector declines.
Friday&#8217;s economic data showed strong March nonfarm payroll growth grew 228,000, exceeding expectations, though the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 4.2%, and average hourly earnings increased as predicted by 0.3% monthly, and 3.8% year-over-year.
The S&amp;P 500 Index recorded its worst weekly decline since March 2020. With the S&amp;P 500 plunging 10.5% over Thursday and Friday, this marks only the fourth time such a sharp two-day drawdown has occurred in modern market history—joining October 1987, September 2008, March 2020, and now April 2025.

Insights From Analysts:
The S&amp;P 500 and Dow are showing a worrying pattern of steep, consecutive drops, reminiscent of the Great Depression, according to the experts.
Carson Research&#8217;s chief market strategist, Ryan Detrick, noted on X that a 4% drop in the S&amp;P 500 on Monday would be its third straight over 4% loss, a pattern seen only three times before, all during the Great Depression.

Meanwhile, according to Craig Shapiro from 3-Circle Investments by The Bear Traps Report, the absence of this perceived "Trump put" or "Fed put" could trigger a swift and significant market downturn.
Shapiro argues the market sought assurance from Trump or the Fed, but recent events show both safety nets are further away than expected. He predicts Fed intervention only if the Treasury market becomes unstable.
Shapiro warned, "All this being said, the lack of the ‘put' for now means I think we are going to go significantly lower very quickly until UsT market dysfunction starts and the Fed says ‘no mas' because this will eventually bleed into economic activity and exacerbate the slowdown."
Despite growing skepticism, Stephanie Link, the chief investment strategist and the head of investment solutions at Hightower Advisors, said, &#8220;Buy.&#8221;

U.S. stocks settled lower on Friday, with the Dow Jones index tumbling over 2,200 points during the session.

On the economic data front, in March, nonfarm payrolls surged by 228,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

As we move into the New Year, it is a good time to revisit what we do and do not know about insider trading.
We know that corporate officers&#8217; and directors&#8217; trading has to be revealed to the public via a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We know that, in most cases, insider buying is far more informative than insider selling. Most insider selling reveals very little real information, as there are dozens of reasons for insiders to be cashing in stocks, most of which have little to do with business prospects.
The exception to this rule is when we see clusters of insiders or large sales by top executives at or near 52-week lows. This always needs to be investigated, as the odds of several executives having a personal cash need when the stock is in a downtrend are pretty slim.
We know that insiders buy stocks for only one reason: they believe the stock price will go higher based on what they know about the business.
They are not as concerned with profits measured in percentages as they are with profits measured in multiples of the stock price.
Most of the time, insiders are contrarian and value-oriented when buying shares. Clusters of large insider buys often indicate a stock is getting near the lows and is ripe for a turnaround.
When we see insiders go against that habit and buy near 52-week highs, it is very informative and indicates that nonpublic knowledge will lead to higher prices sooner rather than later.
The top executives earn higher excess returns on their purchases than directors and low-level executives. Most of the time, the CEO and CFO have the highest returns.
&nbsp;That makes sense since they see more of the big picture than anyone else. Most of the time, they are the ones painting the picture.
The CFO tends to earn higher returns than the CEO. That also makes sense since they understand both the picture and vision and what that means for the financial statements.
These are not opinions.
These are facts and conclusions drawn from academic studies and real-world results.
We will look for opportunities created by all these rules as we go through 2025.
Since today is the first trading day of 2025, I thought we would take a look at some stocks where the CEO or CFO was making large purchases of stocks that Wall Street hates. Big money buying in the open market often indicates that hatred is misplaced.
Take Tidewater (Ticker: TDW), for example. Tidewater owns and operates a substantial fleet of offshore vessels, providing logistical support, crew transportation, and equipment delivery to offshore rigs, platforms, and facilities. They own the boats that take people, tools, and supplies to offshore drilling rigs worldwide.
It has not been a great business for several years now. Oil and gas prices have been in a range for some time now. Prices supported onshore activity, but offshore activity has been moribund. Politics and misguided energy policies have played a role in creating weakness in the industry as well.
Shares of Tidewater hit a high of $110 back in mid-year and have plunged by more than 50% since. There have been signs that offshore demand is picking up, and key executives at Tidewater apparently think the worst is over.
CEO Quintin Kneen spent almost $2 million on shares last month. Well-known value investor Robert Robotti is a large shareholder and director and has also been buying. Robotti purchased another million shares of stock last month.
Any increased offshore oil and gas activity will send this stock skyrocketing toward its 52-week highs. Any news that causes a spike in oil and gas demand or pricing could easily make Tidewater one of the top-performing stocks of 2025.
Shares of Dave &amp; Buster&#8217;s Entertainment (Ticker: PLAY) have not been very entertaining lately. The company has been losing far more than analysts expected, and after the last quarter&#8217;s report, the CEO resigned. Wall Street hates the stock, and traders have been dumping it. Dave &amp; Buster&#8217;s shares are now down almost 60% from the 52-week highs.
Chairman of the board Kevin Sheehan has stepped in as interim CEO. Upon taking the role, Mr. Sheehan must have liked what he saw amidst the carnage as he broke out his checkbook and purchased another $1.4 million worth of stock. Two other directors also made six-figure open-market purchases of the stock.
The board of directors feels pretty good about the future, as it authorized a new $100 million stock buyback to take advantage of the bargain pricing. Almost 20% of the float is sold short, so any good news could squeeze the shares.
Insiders are not always right about their purchases, but they are right more often than not, and the rewards can be spectacular.
