Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ-N)

So, what if you don't like their pizza? Focus on long-term sales growth. They are the #1 pizza chain in the U.S. Has a strong take-out business and has the best technology. It buys backs shares and adds stores globally. Will grow double-digit over 5 years.

Today they reported a mixed quarter: soft revenues, but an earnings beat. Domestic same-store sales were -0.5%, slightly worse than the expected -0.3%, but they reaffirmed their full-year forecast confidently. Shares edged up higher for the day.

The lawsuit is meaningless. DPZ's franchise was missing its numbers overseas, which is why shares are declining and this worries him.

Shares have tanked 14% since reporting week. They reported a solid earnings beat, but they cut international net-store growth outlook.

Here's your entry point. Topline results were very nice, gaining market share from competitors, same-store sales were quite strong. Missteps with higher labour costs. Pulling back guidance on long-term growth internationally. That's just noise and short-term issues. Yield is 1.41%.

Excellent pizza for the price for a strapped consumer. 5-7% topline revenue growth, which can lead to double-digit earnings growth over the long term.

Ranks very well on his screens. Earnings continue to be very strong, seeing 12-13% for the next few years. Shares almost at an all-time new high. Leadership name. Close to being overbought at 52 RSI. Might be a cheaper place to get in, say, closer to the 100-day MA around $470-480.

Not really that fantastic a performer against the S&P 500 with 40% tech. It hits a lot of the markers on many different levels to be included in his portfolio, but it just hasn't quite made it yet. On his screens, it is in the top 25% of US growth names.

It reports Monday and he expects another great set of numbers. They are second in executing only to Chipotle.

They raised their dividend by 24.8% last month. They finally got past their post-pandemic hangover under the great CEO. Last week, they delivered a great quarter. They should return to previous highs.

It reported a surprise beat and shares jumped 5.85% today. A household name and run by a fine CEO.

They report Monday. He's confident in the CEO and expects the market to lap up their quarter.

Catalyst in 2023 was partnership with Uber Eats. Over 50% is takeout from the store. Growth company. Planning to open more stores, targeting 7-8% growth. He sees buybacks, dividend increases, and 10%+ compound returns going forward.

It reports Thursday. Have a deal with Uber Eats for home deliveries. This should help earnings.

They have been and will continue to struggle into they tame their costs, meaning get more drivers.
