The UK's largest ten-pin bowling operator Hollywood Bowl (BOWL) has announced results for its year ended 30th September 2022 emphasising “delighted with our excellent performance and record revenue” and “a strong start to the new financial year”. So what of a current up to 237p share price?

It now announces “successful completion of the placing… at a price of 230 pence per placing share, raising gross proceeds of approximately £30.0 million”. Hmmm...
