On Monday, Oppenheimer reiterated his Outperform rating on Lucky Strike Entertainment (NYSE:LUCK) and maintained a $15.00 price target. The positive assessment followed a visit to the new Lucky Strike location in Miami and discussions with company management. Despite challenges in its retail business due to an unusually mild autumn and headwinds at corporate events due to austerity measures in October and November, the company's outlook remains optimistic.
Lucky Strike Entertainment has proven resilient in the retail space. The company plans to strengthen its Lucky Strike brand by converting 75 Bowlero locations into Lucky Strike stores within the next two years. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to position Lucky Strike as a key player in the entertainment industry.
In addition, the company is working on expanding its business model into a diversified entertainment group. This expansion includes both mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and organic investments. The focus is on developing family entertainment centers (FECs), which are expected to account for about half of new construction or acquisitions. More than ten such projects are expected each year. The remaining projects will focus equally on the bowling area.
Lucky Strike's growth strategy will unfold over the next few years and reflects its commitment to strengthening the brand and expanding its entertainment offering. The company's efforts to combine organic growth with strategic M&A activity signal a proactive approach to navigating the competitive entertainment landscape.
Oppenheimer's confirmed price target of $15.00 reflects confidence in Lucky Strike Entertainment's strategic initiatives and brand development plans. With its continuous development, the company aims to further consolidate its market position by diversifying its entertainment portfolio and strengthening the Lucky Strike brand.
