Domino's Faces Mixed Earnings Report with U.S. Sales Lagging Expectations
Despite a slight increase in market share and international growth, Domino's missed key revenue and same-store sales targets, raising investor concerns.
- Domino's reported Q4 revenue of $1.44 billion, falling short of Wall Street's $1.48 billion projection, with U.S. same-store sales growing just 0.4%.
- International same-store sales rose 2.7%, exceeding analyst expectations and marking the 31st consecutive year of international growth.
- The company's focus on value-driven initiatives, such as Emergency Pizza and aggregator partnerships, contributed to a 1% market share gain in the U.S. quick-service restaurant segment.
- Domino's announced plans to open 175 net new stores in 2025 and aims for at least 3% annual U.S. same-store sales growth moving forward.
- Shares of Domino's fell by approximately 4-5% following the earnings release, reflecting investor concerns over slowing U.S. sales momentum and missed targets.
