Valued at a market cap of $14.8 billion, Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ) is a pizza company based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It offers pizzas, bread products, wings, boneless chicken, pastas, oven-baked sandwiches, dips, soft drink products, and desserts under the Domino's brand name through company-owned and franchised stores. It is expected to announce its fiscal Q3 earnings for 2025 before the market opens on Tuesday, Oct. 14.
Ahead of this event, analysts expect this pizza company to report a profit of $3.98 per share, down 5% from $4.19 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company has topped Wall Street’s earnings estimates in two of the last four quarters, while missing on two other occasions. In Q2, DPZ’s EPS of $3.81 missed the forecasted figure by 3.1%.
For fiscal 2025, analysts expect DPZ to report a profit of $17.70 per share, representing a 6.1% increase from $16.69 per share in fiscal 2024. Furthermore, its EPS is expected to grow 11% year-over-year to $19.64 in fiscal 2026.
Shares of DPZ have gained marginally over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind both the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 15.6% uptick and the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLY) 19.5% return over the same time frame.
Shares of DPZ closed down marginally after its mixed Q2 earnings release on Jul. 21. Due to higher supply chain revenues, an increase in U.S. franchise royalties and fees, and a rise in U.S. franchise advertising revenues, the company’s overall revenue grew 4.3% year-over-year to $1.1 billion, surpassing consensus estimates by a small margin. However, its net income per share of $3.81 declined 5.5% from the year-ago quarter and came in 3.1% below analyst forecasts, weighing on investor sentiment.
Wall Street analysts are moderately optimistic about DPZ’s stock, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Among 29 analysts covering the stock, 15 recommend "Strong Buy," one indicates a "Moderate Buy," 11 suggest "Hold,” and two advise “Strong Sell” ratings. The mean price target for DPZ is $511.65, indicating a 17.4% potential upside from the current levels.
