Domino’s (DPZ) Reports Mixed Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2025 Results
Domino’s (DPZ) recently announced its fourth quarter and fiscal 2025 results, showcasing a blend of positive and slightly underwhelming figures as the company focuses on driving sales, expanding its store count, and maximizing profitability in a competitive market where consumers prioritize value.
The pizza chain reported a revenue of $1.54 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter, marking a 6.4% increase year over year. This figure exceeded Wall Street’s expectations of $1.52 billion. The growth was attributed to higher order volumes and an uptick in the company’s food basket pricing across its stores.
Adjusted earnings for the quarter stood at $5.35 per share, slightly below the estimated $5.37 per share.
CEO Russell Weiner credited the success to the chain’s “MORE strategy,” which contributed to higher sales and profits. In a statement, Weiner emphasized, “These strong results translated into increased franchisee profits, highlighting our ability to drive store-level profitability while offering exceptional value to our customers.”
Domino’s reported a 3.7% growth in same-store sales in the US, surpassing the anticipated 3.3% uptick. However, international stores experienced a more modest increase of 0.7%, falling short of the expected 1.1% rise.
Following the announcement, Domino’s shares surged over 5% during Monday’s market open, reflecting investor optimism towards the company’s revenue growth. Despite a 12% decline in stock value over the past year, Domino’s outperformed the S&P 500’s 15% gain.
For the entire fiscal year, Domino’s reported total revenue of $4.9 billion, alongside adjusted earnings reaching $17.57 per share. Same-store sales for US stores grew by 3%, exceeding the forecasted 2.85% growth rate. However, international stores’ same-store sales growth of 1.9% fell short of the estimated 2.14% increase.
In 2025, Domino’s added 776 new stores globally, slightly surpassing analysts’ expectations and bringing the total store count to 22,142 worldwide.
Looking ahead to the current year, Domino’s anticipates a 3% growth in US same-store sales and a 1-2% increase in international sales. The company also foresees growth opportunities from third-party platforms like DoorDash and Uber.
Weiner stated, “We anticipate expanding our presence on DoorDash as awareness and marketing efforts intensify. This presents a significant opportunity for us, as we have yet to capture our fair share on either of the major aggregators.”
