Domino's Misses on Earnings, Revenue as Wall Street Remains Optimistic About Value Platform
Domino's investors are hoping 2025 turns around for the pizza giant. Domino's (DPZ) posted fourth quarter results that mostly missed Wall Street's expectations, with revenue increasing 2.9% year-over-year to $1.44 billion and same-store sales growing by only 0.4%. Adjusted earnings came in lower than expected, at $4.89 per share. The company attributed its performance to its value strategy, dubbed Hungry for MORE, which drove "strong order count growth" despite a challenging global macroeconomic environment.
- Despite missing on earnings and revenue, Domino's seems to have successfully implemented its value platform, which has driven strong order growth and market share gains in the US.
- However, will this success translate to sustained profitability and long-term growth, or is it just a temporary boost from investors' expectations?
