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;
