The stock is reacting to Guggenheim analyst Gregory Francfort reiterating the Neutral rating on the stock, but lowering the price forecast from $490 to $450.\nThe company will report fourth quarter results on February 23 at 8:30 a.m.\nAnalyst Francfort trimmed earnings forecasts modestly for both 2025 and 2026. He cut the price forecast, citing industrywide pressures expected to linger into the second half of 2026.\nFrancfort said valuation looked more balanced when shares dipped below $400 earlier this month.\nHe noted downside risks now appear more limited despite ongoing pizza category and consolidation headwinds.\nTougher mid-February comparisons tied to last year’s “Best Deal Ever” could offer a better entry point.\nThe analyst said Domino’s posted a strong third-quarter U.S. comparable sales gain but expects slower momentum in the fourth quarter.\nHe now models quarterly same-store sales growth below consensus due to softer industry demand.\nFrancfort said calendar shifts, weather changes and promotion timing complicate near-term trend visibility.\nHe added January’s carryout-focused Boost Week coincided with unusually cold conditions, limiting traffic benefits.\nLooking ahead, Francfort expects early 2026 trends to improve modestly, supported by tax refund season.\nFrancfort noted Domino’s trades at a valuation discount to major quick-service peers.\nHe attributed the gap to slower global unit growth and concerns about long-term pizza category expansion.\nThe analyst said third-party delivery has intensified competition across cuisines, pressuring historical growth rates.\nDespite that, Francfort said Domino’s U.S. pizza market share has increased since the pandemic.\nHe believes further gains remain possible as competitors like Pizza Hut and Papa John’s International, Inc. (NASDAQ:PZZA) struggle.\nA potential Pizza Hut divestment could accelerate store closures and indirectly benefit Domino’s sales.\nStill, Francfort cautioned that any share gains may only partially offset fading promotional benefits from 2025.\nHe estimated competitive closures could add incremental sales growth but unlikely restore past peak momentum.\nOn capital structure, Francfort does not expect new debt issuance in 2026 amid elevated interest rates.\nDPZ Price Action: Domino’s Pizza shares were down 2.36% at $404.10 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.\nPhoto via Shutterstock","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2607741744","isCrawlerRequest":true}
