Domino’s Pizza Stock Surges on Revenue, Same-Store Sales Beat

FROM 1 hr 29 min ago

Domino’s Pizza CEO Russell Weiner says the company’s “Hungry for MORE” strategy is paying off.

Shares of Domino’s (DPZ) surged 6% before the bell Monday after the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based pizza giant reported better-than-expected revenue and same-store sales.

Domino’s posted fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter revenue of $1.54 billion, up 6.4% year-over-year and topping the consensus $1.52 billion estimate of analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha.

Same-store sales growth of 3.7% easily topped expectations of 2.0%, although earnings per share of $5.35 came up just short of estimates.

“In 2025 we demonstrated that when we execute our Hungry for MORE strategy it delivers MORE sales, MORE stores, and MORE profits,” Weiner said, referring to the company’s five-year plan to “grow and win as a brand.”

Domino’s board approved a 15% quarterly dividend increase to $1.99 per share, to be paid on March 30 to shareholders of record as of March 13.

Domino’s shares entered Monday down nearly 8% this year and 17% over the past 12 months.
