Domino's Pizza Inc reported second-quarter revenue of $1.194 billion, exceeding analyst estimates of $1.18 billion, while adjusted earnings per share of $4.07 missed the consensus estimate of $4.20. Revenue increased 4.3% year over year, driven by higher supply chain sales, global franchise royalties, and advertising revenue. Operating income rose 3.1% to $232 million, supported by higher U.S. and international franchise royalties and fees, along with improved supply chain margins. Despite the earnings miss, Chief Executive Officer Russell Weiner stated that his conviction in the company's long-term growth potential remains "as strong as ever" after the company delivered order growth in both delivery and carryout businesses.

Growth in the supply chain business helped offset softer restaurant demand as consumers remained cautious about discretionary spending. Global retail sales, excluding foreign currency impacts, increased 3.0% on a currency-neutral basis. U.S. retail sales rose 1.9%, while international retail sales increased 4.1%. U.S. and international same-store sales were both essentially flat from a year earlier. Gross margin declined to 40.0% from 40.3% a year ago, though supply chain gross margin improved by 20 basis points to 12.0% due to procurement productivity.

During a conference call, the Chief Financial Officer noted that the business continued to be impacted by a challenging macro environment, pressuring consumers and heightened competition. The CFO stated that the company continues to expect FY26 U.S. and international comparable sales to be up low single digits.

Following the earnings announcement, several analysts revised their price targets. TD Cowen analyst Andrew M. Charles maintained the stock with a Hold and raised the price target from $295 to $310. BMO Capital analyst Andrew Strelzik maintained the stock with an Outperform rating and cut the price target from $450 to $420. Evercore ISI Group analyst David Palmer maintained the stock with an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $350 to $375. BTIG analyst Peter Saleh reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $425.

Analysts noted that the second quarter may represent a trough for the year, with expectations for same-store sales to remain flat in the third quarter. Factors expected to aid performance include the return of the $9.99 Best Deal Ever, the World Cup, and new menu innovation such as S'mores Lava Cakes. Management’s 2026 guidance of U.S. same-store sales of low-single digits implies positive comps in the back half of the year, though analysts cautioned that returning to 1%-2% comps is not spectacular.

Domino's opened a net 209 stores during the quarter, including 26 in the United States and 183 internationally. The company ended the quarter with $164.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. Domino's declared a quarterly dividend of $1.99 per share, payable on Sept. 30, 2026, to shareholders of record on Sept. 15, 2026. During the quarter, the company repurchased 443,917 shares for $156.2 million. Year to date, it has repurchased 632,221 shares for $231.3 million, with $1.23 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization.
