Read MoreHide Full Article

Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2022 results on Jul 21, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 18.6%.

Q2 Estimates

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.88, suggesting a decline of 7.7% from the prior-year quarter. In the past seven days, earnings estimates have been revised upward by 0.3%. The consensus mark for revenues stands at $1.07 billion, suggesting an improvement of 3.2% from the prior-year reported figure.

Factors to Note

Domino's fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from store growth, focus on digitalization and other sales-building efforts. The company’s commitment to car-side delivery might have contributed to the to-be-reported quarter’s top line. With consistent waiting time-averaged below two minutes, franchisees and operators have enthusiastically embraced this new service method. It has been successful in attracting new customers as well.

Robust supply chain revenues and U.S. franchise advertising revenues may have favored the company’s fiscal second-quarter performance. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for domestic revenues from franchise advertising and supply chain is pegged at $115 million and $627 million, down 0.9% and up 4%, respectively, from the year-ago reported figure. The consensus mark for revenues from U.S. company-owned stores stands at $115 million, suggesting a decline of 1.7% year over year.

Inflationary pressures in commodities and labor might have weighed on the company’s performance. It is worth mentioning that the industry players expect to witness higher costs due to labor and supply chain shortages for quite some time. The company has been witnessing labor challenges in a handful of markets. During the first-quarter 2022 conference call, the company announced that it anticipates fluctuations in commodity prices (including wheat) and fuel costs due to geopolitical risks and the impact on the overall macroeconomic environment.
