Domino's holds annual sales forecasts as value-seeking diners pressure growth

Domino's Pizza on Monday maintained its annual sales forecasts, but said a challenging macroeconomic environment continued to weigh on consumers and heighten competition.

The company continues to expect fiscal 2026 U.S. comparable sales and international sales growth in the low single digits, compared with analysts' expectations for growth of 1.28% and 0.95%, respectively.

The competitive pressure spans the broader QSR category, not just pizza, and is expected to persist through the rest of the year, Domino's retiring CEO Russell Weiner said on the post-earnings call.

The company's shares were up about 2% at $328.34 in afternoon trading, paring earlier gains of nearly 7% in premarket trading after Domino's posted quarterly revenue that topped Wall Street estimates.

Overall, second-quarter revenue rose 4.3% to $1.19 billion, slightly above estimates of $1.18 billion, helped by a 6.5% rise in quarterly supply-chain revenue to $731.7 million.
