Domino's Q1 results disappoint as same-store growth underwhelms

Shares in Domino's Pizza were set to tank on Monday after the American pizza chain missed analysts' estimates with revenues and profits in the first quarter, with same-store sales barely growing year-on-year.

Global retail sales, which include both company-owned and franchise stores, totalled $4.74bn over the first three months of 2026, up 3.4% over last year when excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements.

Among US stores, which account for around half of total retail sales, same-store sales rose by just 0.9%, while international same-store sales at constant currency were down 0.4%.

Company revenues were up 3.5% at $1.15bn, slightly below the $1.16bn market estimate.

Meanwhile, net income fell to $139.8m from $149.6m the year before, mainly due to losses linked to Dominos' DPD Dash investment, equating to earnings per share of $4.13, short of the $4.27 expected by analysts.

Stock futures were up 4.1% at $353.20 by 1150 BST in pre-market trading on Wall Street.

"Q1 2026 represented another quarter of positive order count and market share growth for Domino's in the US," said chief executive Russell Weiner.

"In an intensifying macro and competitive environment, our scale advantage and best-in-class store level profitability uniquely position Domino's in the QSR Pizza category to sustain the value and innovation customers demand."
