Dave & Buster's Entertainment (NASDAQ: PLAY) — as of 2026-09-12

Upcoming scheduled event (the near-term catalyst)

The dominant scheduled catalyst is the Q2 FY2026 earnings release, dated September 14, 2026 — roughly two days from the reference date. This is confirmed by multiple independent sources: the company issued a GlobeNewswire notice on September 1, 2026 announcing it will report Q2 FY2026 results (quarter ended August 4, 2026) after market close on September 14, 2026 [1], [6], [12]. The reporting date, quarter-end date, and store count (250 stores, "+5 more," i.e., 255) are corroborated by a separate data point [5], and a post-report conference call is expected [6].
