Domino’s Pizza Misses First Quarter U.S. Same Store Sales Consensus Estimate
Image Source: Domino's. Excluding foreign currency impacts, Domino’s income from operations increased 1.4% on a year-over-year basis in the quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities was $179.1 million in the quarter with the firm spending $14.7 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $164.4 million in the period, up 59.1% from last year’s quarter. During the first quarter of 2025, Domino’s repurchased 115,280 shares for a total of $50 million. It still has $764.3 million in remaining authorized amount for share repurchases. We continue to like the long-term picture at Domino’s, and the company remains an idea in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.

Trump Tariffs Higher than Expected; What We're Doing
The Trump tariff increases came in larger than what we were expecting, and it remains to be seen how they will flow through the global economy, as we monitor potential retaliatory tariffs from other countries. As it relates to the equity markets, we’re taking a wait and see approach at the moment as we monitor new policy changes related to trade, immigration, fiscal (tax), and regulations. In short, we’re not overreacting to the sell off as we won’t have a great handle on the tariff impact to companies for a few quarters when they report results post-tariff increases. That said, we’re expecting continued market volatility, with meaningful risk to the downside, before trade uncertainty alleviates in the coming months.

We like Domino’s long-term picture and include the firm as a holding in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.

Domino’s Pizza Remains an Attractive Long-Term Story
Image: Domino’s core values. Looking to 2024, Domino’s expects approximately 6% annual global retail sales growth and approximately 8% annual income from operations growth as it seeks to expand global net store count by 800 to 850. For 2025, Domino’s expects a similar pace of expansion for annual global retail sales growth and annual income from operations growth. Its long-term guidance (2026-2028) calls for 7%+ annual global retail sales growth and 8%+ annual income from operations growth. The company ended the quarter with $4.98 billion in total debt and $189.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. Though Domino’s has a lofty net debt position, we like its long-term growth story, and the company remains a core idea in the portfolio of the Best Ideas Newsletter.

Paper: Value and Momentum Within Stocks, Too
Abstract: This paper strives to advance the field of finance in four ways: 1) it extends the theory of the “The Arithmetic of Active Management” to the investor level; 2) it addresses certain data problems of factor-based methods, namely with respect to value and book-to-market ratios, while introducing price-to-fair-value ratios in a factor-based approach; 3) it may lay the foundation for academic literature regarding the Valuentum, the value-timing, and ultra-momentum factors; and 4) it walks through the potential relative outperformance that may be harvested at the intersection of relevant, unique and compensated factors within individual stocks.

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.
