Every time I order a dominos pizza the price goes up. Looks as though I'll be having pizza for tea every night this week.

[johnnypardal] 12/8/2008 09:36

[gipps] 01/8/2008 17:09

Raved on about Dom on News at Ten tonight.

[mudbath] 23/7/2008 13:01

A lot of bullish noise,yet,DOM is highly rated P/E wise.Any scent of pressure could equate to a seriously burnt pizza share.

[mickconn11] 23/7/2008 09:03

Dominos (dpz) in the US was up 21% last night on the NYSE.

[wjccghcc] 21/7/2008 07:38

Most other retailers have flat to negative LFL sales versus DOM's +11.4%

[mickconn11] 21/7/2008 07:18

But is it worth such a high rating. pe about 20 and most other retailers are in single digits.

Strong life-for-like sales growth at Domino's Pizza
21/07/2008


Home delivery pizza chain Domino's Pizza is on track to beat full-year expectations after a strong set of interim results.

In the 26 weeks to 29 June 2008 the company's pre-tax profit rose 17.2% to £9.7m from £8.3m a year earlier.

Revenue grew from £55.2m to £66.2m, with like-for-like sales in mature stores up 11.4%, as the company saw increased evidence of customers preferring to order in a pizza rather than going out to eat at a restaurant.

E-commerce sales rose 85.1% to £25.3m from £13.7m a year earlier, and now represent 21.8% of total delivered pizza sales in the UK.

The company opened 25 new stores during the first half of 2008 bringing its estate up to 526 stores, and is on track to open 50 new stores over the full year.

"We are confident of further strong growth in system sales and profits and are well placed to exceed market expectations for the year," said Stephen Hemsley, executive chairman.

The interim dividend has been hiked 42.1% to 2.70p from 1.90p last year.

Stephen Hemsley, Executive Chairman of Domino's Pizza UK & IRL plc, commented:

"I am pleased to be able to report another set of excellent results in the twenty-six
weeks to 29 June 2008 with profits before tax and
exceptionals, up 32.7% to £10.9m (2007: £8.2m). System sales reached record levels as did
the number of new stores opened in the first half.
Like for like sales continue to grow at an impressive 11.4%, on top of the exceptional 2007
comparatives and despite the current more
difficult economic environment for consumers. Encouragingly, new stores are trading very
strongly on opening.

"The benefits of operational gearing continue to translate into strong cash generation,
significant returns for shareholders and yet
another record interim dividend payment.

"We are on track to open 50 new stores this year and although we are mindful of the very
strong comparatives in the second half of the
year, we are confident of further strong growth in system sales and profits and are well
placed to exceed market expectations for the
year."

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - The following is a compilation of UK smaller
company results due out in the two weeks to Aug 1.

MONDAY JULY 21
Analysts expect another first-rate performance at the half-way mark from
Domino's Pizza UK & IRL plc, the pizza delivery company, with like-for-like
sales likely to be double-digit alongside around 25 new openings.
LFL sales have already accelerated from +11.0 percent (first six weeks) to
+13.3 percent (first 16 weeks), driven by successful product launches, industry
leading service levels and extensive marketing policies combined with value for
money products.
Ben O'Toole of Dresdner Kleinwort expects Domino's to maintain these
qualities in H208, making his FY08 LFL forecast of 8 percent a low hurdle --
notwithstanding tough 07 comparisons and the weakening consumer outlook.
Furthermore, with input costs largely fixed, the effect of operational
gearing will potentially lead to margin expectations being exceeded, a trend
that should also persist into H208, the analyst believes.
He predicts pretax profits of 10.4 million pounds, up from 8.2 million
pounds, for the six months to June 2008, with an EPS of 4.51 pence against 3.76.

Probably the city view as this applies to them but Dom's core customer is cash strapped and looking to save money. Here's a link to where pizza's will be sourced from in future:

'Eric Bristow - 15 Jul'08 - 11:02 - 1246 of 1247

Surprised this is taking time to sink in as recession = cut backs = less take-a-way meals including the biggest rip off out there, pizza.'



On the contrary. Recession means less 100 quid a la carte meals and more take outs with bottles of wine. Dom is a sound company with a good business strategy and should fair far better than some.

Well i try and look on the bright side the results should be solid and the directors could have sold a lot more than they did and dont forget the people who bought those shares in large numbers must have been happy to do so.
