Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. (PLAY): It's Become A Little 'Fat,' Says Jim Cramer
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAY) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAY) is an American hospitality company that owns and operates dining venues. The shares are flat year-to-date as the firm struggles in an economy driven by inflation and consumer wariness. However, Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAY)'s stock surged by 17.7% in June. The share price rise was rather surprising as the firm's first-quarter earnings, which led to the surge, saw its revenue of $567.7 million beat FactSet estimates of $566.8 million by a hairline and its $0.76 earnings fall short of $1.01 in estimates. Investors were impressed by management commentary which indicated that its revenue, operating income, and cash flow would improve in the coming months. Here is what Cramer said about Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAY): 'Dave & Buster's actually had a nice little run here. It's become a little more fat. Dave & Buster and Urban Outfitters are the two outliers. People forgot about them, they let them forget, and that's just wrong.' A crowded performance hall with an audience enjoying a captivating show. Patient Capital Management mentioned Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAY) in its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the firm said: 'Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAY) trended lower over the first quarter as the market continued to worry about revenue visibility. The company had a disappointing 2024, culminating in the abrupt departure of then-CEO Chris Morris. Founded in 1982 in Dallas, Texas, the company has expanded to over 200 venues in North America across two brands (Dave & Busters, and Main Event). The company is in the middle of a multi-year transformation focused on reinvigorating growth through store remodels, store expansions, and technology upgrades while enhancing margins through cost optimizations and synergies. Despite the efforts, the results haven't yet materialized in the numbers as the challenging macro environment continues to weigh on consumer expenditures. In the meantime, an activist, Hill Path Capital, has built up a position in the company and taken two board seats. With the Chairman of the Board stepping in as CEO, we are already starting to see improved results with the focus on a back-to-basics strategy delivering better than expected results in March and April. While the timing of business model inflection remains uncertain, what's clear is the stock is trading at an all-time low valuation of 6.8x forward earnings. As the company works to improve its operations, they've been actively returning cash to shareholders through buybacks, repurchasing 12% of shares outstanding over the last 12 months.' While we acknowledge the potential of PLAY as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Hasbro's Big Marvel SDCC Exclusive Is a Deep Cut Marvel Snap Surprise — GeekTyrant
Hasbro is going way off the beaten path with this year's big Marvel Legends SDCC exclusive, and I kind of love how weird it is. Announced ahead of San Diego Comic-Con 2025, the 'Hasbro Marvel Legends Series Gamerverse Marvel Snap Savage Land 3-Pack' is not your usual Avengers line-up or MCU tie-in. This is a collectible set straight out of Marvel Snap, the hit digital card game, and it's putting the spotlight on a trio of characters that even some comic fans might have to Google. The set includes Rogue, Sauron, and Shanna the She-Devil, all styled after their designs in the Savage Land season of Marvel Snap. That means bold colors, stylized details, and a strong dose of prehistoric pulp vibes. Let's break this down: Rogue is the most familiar face—X-Men legend, power-absorbing southern powerhouse, and longtime staple of comics, animation, and film. Sauron is a deep-cut X-Men villain who is, quite literally, a flying dinosaur vampire. A Pterodactylus with a lab coat-level intellect and the power to absorb energy like Rogue. And yes, he's the source of that Spider-Man and the X-Men #2 meme where Spidey says he could cure cancer, and Sauron responds: 'I don't want to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs.' Shanna the She-Devil is a jungle-dwelling super-athlete, a fierce veterinarian-turned-warrior introduced in the early '70s. She's been a recurring player in Savage Land-based storylines, particularly alongside Ka-Zar in various X-Men comics. The figures look really cool and they are stylized, detailed, and visually distinct from typical Marvel Legends fare. The set will be available first at Hasbro's booth (#3213) at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. If you're planning to get one, expect a lottery or reservation system to be involved—check the official SDCC site for updates. After the con, limited stock will be sold on priced at $90.

Hasbro's ‘Star Wars' SDCC Exclusive Is the Ultimate ‘Revenge of the Sith' Set
Dark side, light side, it doesn't matter. This year's Hasbro Star Wars exclusive at San Diego Comic-Con is certainly the chosen one, and we're going to take the high ground to acquire it. Celebrating 20 years of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Hasbro just revealed a six-inch Black Series set, exclusively for release at San Diego Comic-Con, of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi and their epic lightsaber duel over the lava on Mustafar. Retailing for $110, the set will first be available at Hasbro's booth (#3213) during Comic-Con, which takes place July 24-27 in San Diego, CA. From there, a limited amount will usually go on sale at But what do you get for your money? Well, Anakin and Obi-Wan of course, each with lightsabers and interchangeable hands depending on which moment of the battle you want to display. The set is divided into multiple pieces too, allowing you several options of how you want to pose the characters. Here are some images. Black Series is already the gold standard when it comes to Star Wars action figures, and seeing this massive moment in the franchise brought to life like this is incredibly exciting. Pop on John Williams' 'Battle of the Heroes,' and start acting out all your favorite lines: 'Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy.' 'If you're not with me, then you're my enemy.' 'Only a Sith deals in absolutes,' etc. On the other hand, while the playset elements are undeniably detailed and nice, and these figures are a little more deluxe than your standard Black Series figures thanks to the interchangeable elements and whatnot, $110 does feel a tiny bit steep. That won't matter to most Star Wars fans but it's still a lot to pay for two figures and a few stands. Nevertheless, Revenge of the Sith has never looked better and we fully expect Comic-Con attendees to go wild for this one. What are your thoughts?
