New Papa John's Bull Isn't Spooked by Domino's-Uber Deal -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2023-09-01

1033 ET - Wedbush analysts are turning bullish on Papa John's and see a variety of mitigating factors to fears that Domino's partnering with Uber's food-delivery apps might take market share away from Papa John's. When Little Caesars and Pizza Hut entered the third-party delivery game, the whole category expanded and it didn't impact the outsized growth that Papa John's was seeing, the analysts say, adding that the Domino's rollout is relatively gradual. They also believe Papa John's has sales growth expectations that are relatively low, and that management's incremental focus on relative value has gone underappreciated. They upgrade the stock to an outperform rating. Shares rise 3% to $77.89. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
