Is Dave & Buster's Entertainment (PLAY) a Great Growth Stock?

Growth stocks can be some of the most exciting picks in the market, as these high-flyers can captivate investors' attention, and produce big gains as well.

And if this wasn't enough, the stock has actually seen estimates rise over the past month for the current fiscal year by about 6.7%. Thanks to this rise in earnings estimates, PLAY has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) which further underscores the potential for outperformance in this company.
