What the Analysts think about BOWL
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Hollywood Bowl Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
First-half FY2025 revenues hit a record £129.2m, up 8.4% year-on-year, driven by strong performance in both UK and Canadian businesses (Shares Magazine).
A solid net cash position of £22.7m plus a fully undrawn £25m revolving credit facility provide ample financial flexibility to fund growth without added leverage (Shares Magazine).
Strategic expansion is paying off: all five new centres opened in FY2025 (three in the UK, two in Canada) have surpassed targeted returns on investment, demonstrating strong execution on rollouts (Investegate).
Profit after tax dropped 11.6% to £20.6m and EPS was down 11.6% to 12.01p in H1 FY2025, showing margin pressure even as revenue rose (Shares Magazine).
UK game volumes declined 4.5% in H1 FY2025 due to bad weather and more competition from other leisure sectors, highlighting inconsistent demand (GuruFocus).
Persistent inflation is causing headwinds, particularly a roughly £1.2m increase in annualized costs from higher National Living Wage and business rates, which could further pressure margins (Shares Magazine).
