John Alan Young, a director at Lucky Strike Entertainment Corp, disclosed a direct purchase of 6,000 shares of Class A common stock on February 6, 2026, for a total of $39,000. The reported purchase price per share varied between $6.45 and $6.55 and carried a weighted average cost of $6.50 per share.
After the transaction, Young's direct holdings in Lucky Strike stood at 85,518 shares. The buy occurred while the company's shares were trading close to a 52-week low of $5.71 and after the stock had fallen 23% over the prior six months.
Publicly available data from InvestingPro indicates that the company's management has been an active participant in the market for its own stock, conducting aggressive buybacks. That share repurchase activity is noted alongside the insider purchase.
Lucky Strike remains unprofitable at present, but analysts represented in the consensus expect the company to reach profitability this year. The consensus analyst stance is "Buy," with published price targets spanning from $7.50 to $15.00.
Corporate distribution and broker notes
In other company developments, Lucky Strike announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per common share. The dividend is scheduled to be paid on March 6, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 20, 2026.
Several sell-side firms have reiterated or adjusted their views on the shares. Stifel reaffirmed its Buy rating and kept a $13.00 price target, calling out the company's investments in food and beverage operations, venue conversion efforts, and growth tied to recent water park acquisitions.
Truist Securities raised its price target to $12.00 from $11.00 while maintaining a Buy rating, citing positive growth factors that include plans for two new locations and expansion of non-bowling revenue streams. Jefferies also reiterated its Buy rating and left a $18.00 price target on the stock, noting that November foot traffic was solid despite a deceleration and registered mid-single-digit percentage growth.
Taken together, the insider purchase, continued buybacks and the cluster of Buy ratings with price targets above the current trading level have been framed by market commentators as signs of ongoing investor interest in Lucky Strike's strategies for venue and ancillary revenue growth.
Context and next steps
The insider purchase and the dividend declaration add near-term items for shareholders to monitor alongside analyst expectations for a return to profitability. Investors tracking Lucky Strike will likely watch execution of venue conversion projects, the integration and performance of recent water park acquisitions, and contributions from non-bowling revenue channels as potential drivers of the company’s financial turnaround.
