Bowlero: I Own VICI, Do I Want To Own The Tenant?
Summary I invest in VICI Properties, a REIT owning experiential properties, including Bowlero, highlighting the correlation and potential risks between them. Bowlero, the largest bowling center operator, shows strong revenue and EBITDA growth, driven by acquisitions and low CapEx requirements. Despite Bowlero's potential and management expertise, its EPS-negative status and inconsistent forecast accuracy make it a speculative "Buy" with a $16/share PT. Bowlero meets only one of my five investment criteria, making it a "HOLD" bordering on a "SELL" in my portfolio. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Aug 09
