As the Q1 earnings season wraps, let’s dig into this quarter’s best and worst performers in the traditional fast food industry, including Domino's (NASDAQ:DPZ) and its peers.
From fast food to fine dining, restaurants play a vital societal role. But the side dish is that they’re quite difficult to operate because high inventory and labor costs generally lead to thin margins at the store level.
This leaves little room for error if demand dries up, and it seems like the market has some reservations as the industry has tumbled by 7.2% over the past six months. This performance was discouraging since the S&P 500 held its ground.
Fast-food pizza chain Domino’s (NYSE:DPZ) missed Wall Street’s revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025 as sales rose 2.5% year on year to $1.11 billion. Its non-GAAP profit of $4.33 per share was 6.3% above analysts’ consensus estimates.
Food delivery service, DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ: DASH) is redefining its role in the marketplace, using technology and innovation to expand from food delivery into a broader mission of transforming local commerce.
U.S. stock futures are down Wednesday morning, despite major averages ending up on Tuesday, and the S&P 500 and Dow Jones notching their sixth-straight day in the green, the longest streak for the indexes in months.
Domino's Pizza (NASDAQ:DPZ) stock gained analyst support after mixed Q1 FY25 results. While U.S. same-store sales declined 0.5%, international growth and market share gains impressed. Analysts raised price targets, citing strong value positioning, the stuffed crust launch, and DoorDash rollout as key growth drivers.
Mid-cap stocks often strike the right balance between having proven business models and market opportunities that can support $100 billion corporations.
However, they face intense competition from scaled industry giants and can be disrupted by new innovative players vying for a slice of the pie.
U.S. stock futures are trading flat on Tuesday early-morning, keeping with the broad index averages on Monday, as markets await clarity and more earnings reports to come in over the course of this week.
