Dave & Buster stock price up more than 5.52% on Thursday
(Updated on Jun 11, 2026)

Buy candidate since Jun 10, 2026 Gain 5.52%

The Dave & Buster stock price gained 5.52% on the last trading day (Thursday, 11th Jun 2026), rising from $12.49 to $13.18. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 7.42% from a day low at $12.53 to a day high of $13.46. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.37% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 239 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 3 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $34.11 million.

The stock lies the upper part of a very wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $13.62 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -7.45% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $8.24 and $12.61 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

PLAY Signals & Forecast

The Dave & Buster stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $11.78 and $11.48. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, May 28, 2026, and so far it has fallen -2.37%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Dave & Buster stock

Dave & Buster finds support from accumulated volume at $12.82 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $0.93 between high and low, or 7.42%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 8.31%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $12.62 (-4.23%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 10 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (PLAY) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 12th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 12th we expect Dave & Buster to open at $13.06, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.72 and $13.64, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.91 (+/-7.17%) up or down from last closing price. If Dave & Buster takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.17% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $13.37 (1.44%) than the support at $12.82 (2.73%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
