RBC Capital Reiterates Outperform on Domino's Pizza, Maintains $550 Price Target

Domino's Pizza's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.02% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.65 million shares sold short, which is 5.44% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.6 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752253230_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Domino's Pizza has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Domino's Pizza's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Domino's Pizza's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.18%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

$1000 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Papa John's International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PZZA#NASDAQ">PZZA</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading lower on Thursday.</a>
On Wednesday, several media reports emerged that the company may be nearing a significant ownership change, as private equity giant Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) and Qatari-backed investment firm Irth Capital have reportedly joined forces to pursue a buyout of the pizza chain, valuing it at approximately $2 billion.
Semafor <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/06/11/2025/papa-johns-pzza-apollo-take-private" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports </a>that the offer is in the low $60s per share, notably higher than the current stock price of around $48, citing sources familiar with the situation.
While Apollo has a history of large-scale acquisitions, Irth Capital is a much smaller player with less than $200 million in assets as of late 2023. Irth, backed by Sheikh Mohamed al Thani of Qatar's royal family, holds a 5% stake in Papa John's.
Following the reports, PZZA stock surged over 7% on Wednesday.

Despite its size, Irth has experience with consumer-focused turnarounds, having been involved in the acquisitions of Casper and Bojangles.
Irth reportedly still needs to secure financing for its portion of the proposed deal, Semafor adds.
If that doesn't materialize, Apollo could move forward on its own.
As of now, neither Apollo nor Papa John's have issued public statements, and Irth has not responded to requests for comment.
If a formal sales process is launched, more potential suitors could emerge. Inspire Brands, known for its acquisition of Dunkin' Donuts in 2020, may explore the opportunity, Semafor further adds.
Another possibility is Roark Capital, which recently completed a deal for Dave's Hot Chicken and owns Subway.
Papa John's franchising model, which licenses branding and ingredients to independent operators, aligns with their typical investment strategies, the report further states.
In 2018 and 2019, Papa John's faced a public controversy involving its founder, John Schnatter, who used a racial slur during a conference call, Reuters reports. The incident led to legal disputes and, ultimately, a deal with activist investor Starboard Value, whose CEO took over as chairman of the board in 2019 following Schnatter's departure.
Although Starboard helped stabilize Papa John's, industry observers believe more changes are needed—fueling speculation of a potential take-private move to enable deeper restructuring out of public view, Reuters adds.
Under current CEO Todd Penegor, Papa John's has made notable performance improvements, though its stock continues to trade at a slight discount compared to peers like Yum! Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>) and Domino's Pizza Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>).

Papa John's Takeover Rumors Swirl, But Doubts Are Creeping In

Weight-loss drugs are suppressing appetites for millions of Americans, threatening to upend dining habits at fast-food chains and casting a shadow over the restaurant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants">industry&#8217;s long-term growth.</a>
The stark warning came from Redburn Atlantic, which on Tuesday issued a rare double downgrade on McDonald's Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NASDAQ">MCD</a>) — cutting the stock from Buy to Sell — amid growing concern that appetite-suppressing medications such as Novo Nordisk A/S&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) Wegovy and Eli Lilly and Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) Zepbound are reshaping consumer behaviors.
Redburn's analyst Chris Luyckx said the behavioral effects of GLP-1 drugs are deeper than previously believed and could cause a cascading demand shock for restaurants reliant on habitual and group dining.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is This The End Of America's Fast-Food Boom?</h1>
Luyckx estimates McDonald's could lose 28 million annual visits, amounting to $481.5 million in revenue — a 0.9% drag on its systemwide sales.
While that may appear manageable today, the analyst warned that the risk is cumulative, with broader shifts in eating habits already underway.
&#8220;A 1% drag today could easily build to 10% or more over time, particularly for brands skewed towards lower-income consumers or group occasions,&#8221; Luyckx said. 
&#8220;Despite best-in-class scale and global reach, McDonald's is showing cracks. Traffic is soft, especially in the U.S., where pricing fatigue and value perception are growing concerns,&#8221; he added.
Since 1977, the portion of calories Americans consume from restaurants has nearly tripled. But Redburn's report suggests that trend may be reversing. 
Currently, just 6% of U.S. adults are using GLP-1 medications, and 12% have ever taken them. Redburn's healthcare team expects penetration to reach 12% of non-type 2 diabetic obese adults by 2030.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Lunch and Dinner Under Pressure</h1>
&#8220;Lower-income users cut fast-food spending by 14%, double that of higher-income users, with the sharpest declines at lunch and dinner," Redburn's report said.
Among lower-income GLP-1 users, lunch spending drops by approximately 9%, while dinner falls by about 12%. 
These meals are typically the highest-volume periods for limited-service restaurants, leaving brands skewed toward those times disproportionately exposed.
Domino's Pizza Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>) and KFC face the highest relative risks. Domino's could see a $129.8 million revenue hit per year, or 1.4% of its system sales, while KFC may lose 1.2%.
Redburn initiated coverage on Domino&#8217;s Pizza with Sell rating and a 12-month price target of $340, implying 25% decline from current levels.
&#8220;Domino's, McDonald's and Pizza Hut face higher vulnerability given their high U.S. exposure, lower-income skews, daypart exposure and greater reliance on group occasions, where behavioural spillovers are more likely to occur,&#8221; said Luyckx.
Chains with more diversified traffic patterns, like Taco Bell and Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>), are better positioned.
Taco Bell benefits from late-night traffic, where GLP-1 effects are minimal, while Chipotle's more affluent and health-conscious customer base shields it from the brunt of the shift. Chipotle's projected annual loss is $86.6 million, or just 0.8% of sales.

This Domino's Pizza Analyst Begins Coverage On A Bearish Note; Here Are Top 5 Initiations For Tuesday

Redburn Atlantic analyst Chris Luyckx initiates coverage on Domino's Pizza (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) with a Sell rating and announces Price Target of $340.

Redburn Atlantic Initiates Coverage On Domino's Pizza with Sell Rating, Announces Price Target of $340

In the current market session, Domino's Pizza Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) price is at $462.55, after a 0.55% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 2.74%, and in the past year, by 11.54%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>A Look at Domino's Pizza P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Domino's Pizza has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 67.98 of the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749225620_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

$100 Invested In Domino's Pizza 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Bank of America Securities analyst Sara Senatore explained that while the restaurant industry may seem simple due to its familiarity with consumers, investing in restaurant stocks remains complex, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/05/45417777/lobster-life-sibling-entrepreneurs-see-trade-turmoil-as-a-business-edge" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">given the wide performance variation within the sector.</a>
According to Senatore, in today&#8217;s value-conscious environment, the restaurants seeing success are those offering standout products and experiences across multiple dimensions.
This consistent execution has allowed leading quick-service pizza chains to expand market share, and she highlights that Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) is positioned to continue outperforming, backed by its partnerships with delivery platforms like DoorDash, Inc.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>)
and Uber Technologies, Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) UberEats, value-oriented menu strategies, and technological strength. The analyst reiterated the Buy rating on Domino&#8217;s, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DPZ/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $549.</a>
Also Read:<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/05/45400599/only-reasonable-profits-jdcom-takes-aim-at-global-food-delivery-economics-with-zero-commission-modelrevives-founders-035-principle" rel="noreferrer noopener"> &#8216;Only Reasonable Profits:&#8217; JD.com Takes Aim At Global Food Delivery Economics With Zero-Commission Model—Revives Founder&#8217;s &#8216;$0.35 Principle&#8217;</a>
The analyst expressed optimism about Papa John&#8217;s International, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PZZA#NASDAQ">PZZA</a>), anticipating an improved earnings profile after the company&#8217;s planned investments in 2025. Senatore reiterated the Buy rating, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PZZA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $52.</a>
Senatore noted that Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>), the parent company of Pizza Hut, has maintained stable returns on assets compared to the broader market, and she views the company&#8217;s historical performance range as a solid basis for future estimates. The analyst reiterated the Neutral rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/YUM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $159.</a>
Senatore highlighted market share dynamics among these top three pizza chains, noting that Domino&#8217;s has continued to gain share, Papa Johns has maintained its position, while Pizza Hut has seen a decline in share.
Out of the Pizza focus, the analyst sees Bloomin&#8217; Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) &#8216;s same-store sales growth could be slower than expected if macro headwinds pressure restaurant consumption or sales-driving initiatives fail to resonate with customers. Senatore reiterated the company&#8217;s Underperform rating, with a price forecast of $7.
Senatore noted that McDonald&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) could deliver better-than-expected margins and returns if it slows down its investment pace or uncovers unanticipated cost savings.
She also suggested that if investor sentiment turns more risk-averse, McDonald&#8217;s defensive profile could become increasingly appealing in the current market environment. The analyst reiterated the Neutral rating on McDonald&#8217;s with a price forecast of $327.

Pizza Power Play: Analyst Says Domino's Gains Share, Papa Johns Holds Steady, Pizza Hut Loses Ground

Domino's Pizza's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.68% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.59 million shares sold short, which is 5.26% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.37 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Domino's Pizza Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747418427_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Domino's Pizza has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Domino's Pizza's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Domino's Pizza's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.28%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
