Domino's (DPZ) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Feb 23, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.4%.
Q4 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $3.92 per share, suggesting a decline of 7.8% from the prior-year quarter. Over the past seven days, earnings estimates have been revised downward by 0.3%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.44 billion, suggesting an improvement of 6.9% from the prior-year reported figure.
Factors to Note
Domino's fiscal fourth-quarter top line is likely to have benefited from solid international expansion, sales building efforts and robust digitalization. An increase in sales of U.S. company-owned stores, as well as supply-chain revenues, is likely to have aided the top line.
We expect U.S. company-owned stores, U.S. franchise advertising and supply-chain revenues to increase 3%, 1.3% and 6.8% to $145.5 million, $145.1 million and $855.1 million, respectively.
The company has been witnessing growth in terms of its carryout and delivery businesses. It has been focusing on Car Side Delivery 2-Minute Guarantee with awareness campaigns. Increased revenues from franchise advertising and supply chain are anticipated to have driven the fiscal fourth-quarter performance.
However, elevated wage pressures and commodities inflation are likely to have negatively impacted the company’s bottom line. We expect total cost of sales to increase 8.2% year over year to $905.6 million. The gross margin in the quarter is likely to be 36.1% compared with 37.7% reported in the prior-year quarter.
What the Zacks Model Unveils
