Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ) stock is soaring 5.84% in pre-market trading on Monday following the release of its second-quarter 2025 financial results. The world's largest pizza chain delivered a mixed bag of results, with strong sales growth and market share gains overshadowing a slight earnings miss.
The company reported a 3.4% increase in U.S. same-store sales, significantly beating analysts' expectations of 2.21% growth. This marks a strong comeback from the previous quarter's 0.5% decline and represents Domino's first beat in same-store sales estimates in five quarters. Internationally, same-store sales grew by 2.4%, also surpassing the projected 1.71% growth. Domino's CEO Russell Weiner highlighted the company's strong performance, stating, "In the U.S., both delivery and carryout grew, driving meaningful market share gains within the U.S. pizza quick-service restaurant category."
While Domino's reported total revenue of $1.15 billion, a 4.3% increase year-over-year and in line with analyst estimates, earnings per share came in at $3.81, slightly below the expected $3.95. The company attributed this earnings miss primarily to a $27.4 million charge associated with its investment in DPC Dash, its master franchisee in China. Despite this, investors seem to be focusing on the strong sales performance and market share gains, driving the stock's pre-market rally. The pizza chain also reported global net store growth of 178 during the quarter, including 30 new stores in the U.S. and 148 internationally, further solidifying its market position.
