On July 20, Dominos Pizza rose 5.84% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $341.0/share, with turnover of $1.9747 million. The stock rallied after reporting Q2 results that showed revenue exceeding market expectations.

Dominos Pizza posted Q2 revenue of $1.194 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $1.179 billion. While EPS of $4.07 missed the analyst estimate of $4.20, it represented a 6.82% year-over-year increase from $3.81 in the prior-year period. The revenue beat is particularly notable given that Q1 results had significantly disappointed, with revenue of $1.151 billion missing the $1.163 billion estimate and US same-store sales growth of just 0.9% versus expectations of 2.3%-2.6%, prompting multiple investment banks to slash price targets.

With expectations substantially reset and valuations near multi-year lows following the Q1 miss, the Q2 revenue beat served as a catalyst for a relief rally. Institutions including UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Gordon Haskett had maintained buy ratings despite lowering targets, and the company had recently announced a CEO transition with Joe Jordan set to succeed Russell Weiner effective October 1.
