Domino's (DPZ) Gears Up for Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2023 results on Apr 27, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 13%.
Q1 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $2.65 per share, suggesting growth of 6% from the prior-year quarter. Over the past seven days, earnings estimates have been revised upward by 1.1%. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $1.03 billion, suggesting an improvement of 1.8% from the prior-year reported figure.
Factors to Note
Domino's fiscal first-quarter top line is likely to have benefited from expansion efforts, digitalization and robust comp growth. Increase in sales in the U.S. company-owned stores and easing of supply-chain constrains are likely to have aided the top line.
We expect the U.S. company-owned stores and the U.S. franchise advertising revenues to increase 8% and 6% to $112.2 million and $113 million, respectively. The U.S. franchise royalties and fees are expected to increase 4.6% to $127.9 million. However, our model predicts, supply-chain revenues to decline 4.9% year over year to $579.4 million.
The company continues to witness growth in terms of its carryout and delivery businesses. It has been focusing on Car Side Delivery 2-Minute Guarantee with awareness campaigns. Increased revenues from franchise advertising and supply chain might have driven the fiscal fourth-quarter performance.
However, elevated wage pressures and inflation of commodities are likely to have negatively impacted DPZ’s bottom line. Our model estimates total cost of sales to increase 2.1% year over year to $905.6 million. Gross margin in the quarter is likely to be 34.9% compared with 36.5% reported in the prior-year quarter.
Our proven model doesn’t conclusively predict an earnings beat for Domino's this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat.
Earnings ESP: Domino's has an Earnings ESP of +1.75%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: Domino's carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
