Iryna Tolmachova/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Domino's Pizza ( DPZ ) is now down to some of the lowest levels in over half a decade, despite the company proving its resilience and growing at a time when most peers are shrinking. I rate DPZ a Buy, backed by their strong brand, value proposition, attractive valuation, and significant potential to grow domestically and internationally, with high-quality operations and a supply chain that offers a strong moat, even though macro pressure can continue to affect their valuation in the foreseeable future. Strong Foundation Shining Despite Pressure Domino's Pizza IR Unlike most peers, despite the ongoing macro pressure, DPZ reported a strong 2025, growing their domestic and international store count alongside a 5.4% annual increase in global retail sales (4.8% US, 5.9% international), while the free cash flow grew by 31.2% despite a 6.8% increase in CAPEX. This ultimately comes down to several factors, including their strong brands, marketing, and the massive supply chain that offers a major competitive advantage, operating 22 regional dough manufacturing and supply chain centers, 2 thin crust facilities, and 1 vegetable processing center in the US as of the end of 2025, with DPZ mentioning the following during their latest 10-K report : We believe our franchisees voluntarily choose to obtain food and other products from us because we offer the most efficient, convenient and cost-effective alternative, while also offering both quality and consistency. Our supply chain segment offers profit-sharing arrangements to U.S. and Canadian franchisees who purchase all of their food for their stores from our centers. These profit-sharing arrangements generally offer participating franchisees and Company owned stores with 50% of the pre-tax profit from our supply chain center operations. We believe these arrangements strengthen our ties to and provide aligned benefits with franchisees. Meanwhile, both JPMorgan and BTI...

Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news Middle East crisis live: Trump claims war will end in ‘two or three weeks’; Rubio says US should ‘re-examine’ Nato relationship Cost of living: how to prepare for the ‘awful April’ shower of bill increases An end to the war in the Middle East, and a drop in energy prices, would be a relief to UK households as we enter Awful August. UK households face a bill surge this month, in which the annual cost of essentials, including council tax and water, will increase by more than £200. Now we’re finishing the job. I think in two weeks or maybe a few days longer, we’ll do the job. We want to knock out everything they’ve got. We saw reports breaking in Asia yesterday from the WSJ that Trump was willing to end the war without taking the Straits of Hormuz. In fact, he encouraged other international peers to take the strait without US involvement. There are different ways to interpret that, both positive and negative, but the market has taken this as a small step towards appeasing and compelling the Iranian camp. The Iranians have also come out with more constructive rhetoric for risk, signalling the necessary will to end the war. They have outlined their conditions, some of which were already known. But the combination of the narrative, driven through headlines, has certainly seen risk come back into play. 9am BST: Eurozone manufacturing PMI for March 9.30am BST: UK manufacturing PMI for March 10am BST: eurozone unemployment data 10.30am BST: Bank of England releases financial stability report 2.45pm BST: US manufacturing PMI for March Continue reading...
