Robust Comps Growth to Drive Domino's (DPZ) Q1 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2021 results on Apr 29, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8.7%.
Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.94, indicating a decline from $3.07 reported in the year-ago quarter. Over the past seven days, earnings estimates have remained stable. The consensus mark for revenues stands at $978.6 million, suggesting an improvement of 12.1% from the prior-year quarter.
Factors to Note
The company’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from robust U.S. and international comparable sales. Comps in the quarter to be reported may have gained from ticket growth. Notably, fourth-quarter fiscal 2020 marked the 108th consecutive quarter of positive same-store sales in its international business. Domestically, fourth-quarter fiscal 2020 marked the 39th consecutive quarter of positive same-store sales. Store expansion also bodes well for the company. The company inaugurated 388 (116 net U.S. stores and 272 net new international stores) net new stores globally during fourth-quarter fiscal 2020.
Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for domestic revenues from franchise advertising and supply chain is pegged at $109 million and $574 million, suggesting an improvement of 13.5% and 11.9%, respectively, from the year-ago reported figure. Moreover, domestic company-owned stores’ revenues are anticipated to witness a rise of 13.7% to $116 million. However, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for international franchise royalties and fees is pegged at $64 million, indicating growth of 10.3% from the prior-year quarter.
Moreover, increase in revenues in its U.S. franchise business might have contributed to the margin. In the fourth-quarter fiscal 2020, the company’s operating margin expanded 60 basis points (bps) year over year to 39.5%.

If you’re looking for big gains, there couldn’t be a better time to get in on a young industry primed to skyrocket from $17.7 billion back in 2019 to an expected $73.6 billion by 2027.
After a clean sweep of 6 election referendums in 5 states, pot is now legal in 36 states plus D.C. Federal legalization is expected soon and that could be a still greater bonanza for investors.
