Domino’s Suspends Long-term Global Net Store Growth Guidance
Image: Domino’s shares have done well since the beginning of 2023, but visibility into its long-term global net store growth has become murky given problems at one of its master franchisees. Domino’s quarterly results and free cash flow performance weren’t poor by any stretch, but the firm disappointed investors with respect to its updated global net store growth forecast. The company noted that it will come up 175-275 stores short of its international store growth target in 2024, and it temporarily suspended its guidance that previously called for 1,100+ global net stores annually over the period 2024-2028. It now expects 825-925 net new stores in 2024. We didn’t like the news, but we remain fans of Domino’s long-term story and are keeping the idea as a holding in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.

Domino’s Long-Term Growth Outlook Looks Achievable
Image Source: Domino's. Domino’s continues to be shareholder-friendly, paying a nice quarterly dividend and buying back stock. As of March 24, it still had total remaining authorization on its buyback program of $1.12 billion. Looking to the firm’s long-term guidance, the firm is targeting 7%+ annual global retail sales growth, 1,100 annual global net store growth, and 8%+ annual income from operations growth. We think its targets are achievable.

Domino’s Puts Up Strong Comp in Fourth Quarter, Approves Another $1 Billion in Buybacks, Raises Dividend
Image: Domino’s free cash flow increased meaningfully in fiscal 2023. On February 26, Domino’s Pizza reported mixed fourth-quarter results, but comparable store sales came in better than expectations and the firm announced an additional $1 billion in buybacks, while it raised its dividend ~25%. We’re huge fans of Domino’s due in part to its heavily franchised business model, impressive digital initiatives, as well as its long-term unit growth prospects. The high end of our fair value estimate range of Domino’s stands at $569 per share, and we see meaningful upside from today’s price levels (~$465 per share) given the fundamental momentum at the firm.

We Remain Bullish; Is This 1995 – The Beginning of a Huge Stock Market Run?
Image: Large cap growth stocks have trounced the performance of the S&P 500, REITs, and bonds since the beginning of 2023. We expect continued outperformance in this area of the market. We’re now roughly four years past the depths of the COVID-19 meltdown, where equities collapsed in February and March of 2020. As the markets began to recover through 2020, our long-term conviction in equities only grew stronger. We think the biggest risk for long-term investors remains staying out of the market on the basis of what could be considered stretched valuation multiples. As we outlined heavily in the book Value Trap, valuation multiples hardly tell the complete story about a company and often omit key long-term earnings growth, cash flow dynamics, and balance sheet health considerations. We remain bullish on equities for the long haul, and we think the next couple years will be incredibly strong. Our best ideas can be found in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio, Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio, High Yield Dividend Newsletter portfolio, ESG Newsletter portfolio, and via the Exclusive publication as well as options idea generation.
