Shares of arcade company Dave & Buster’s (NASDAQ:PLAY) fell 4.7% in the afternoon session after the company announced the appointment of former Yum Brands executive Tarun Lal as its new Chief Executive Officer. The entertainment and dining venue operator named Lal, who most recently served as President of KFC U.S., as its new CEO and a board member, effective July 14. The move follows the resignation of former CEO Chris Morris in December 2024. While the company's board expressed confidence that Lal's successful track record of growing brands would have an immediate impact, the initial market reaction was muted. The stock's dip suggests investors may be taking a wait-and-see approach as the new leader takes the helm during what has been a challenging period for the company.
Lal, who has over 25 years of experience at Yum Brands and was most recently the President of KFC U.S., succeeds Chris Morris, who stepped down in December 2024.
