Domino’s Pizza has reported strong fourth-quarter earnings results, with revenue reaching $1.54 billion, beating estimates of $1.52 billion. This news comes as the company looks to capitalize on its competitor’s recent store closings, with Domino’s CEO Russell Weiner stating that the pizza category is not declining, but rather growing approximately 1-2% each year.
The company’s earnings call revealed that Domino’s same-store sales in the U.S. grew 3.7% for the fourth quarter, with a 3% growth for fiscal 2025. The company’s New York Style Pizza and Parmesan Stuffed Crust were also major hits in 2025. Domino’s chief financial officer Sandeep Reddy mentioned that the company plans to take advantage of its competitor’s recent store closings, including Pizza Hut’s announcement to close 250 stores this year. Reddy stated that this will allow Domino’s to gain market share and grab sales from its competitors. The company also reported opening over 700 stores globally and in the U.S. last year.
The news has had a positive impact on Domino’s shares, which rose 6.4% in morning trading and were up 2.2% by early midday trading. With a market capitalization of $13.36 billion and global retail sales of over $20.1 billion in 2025, Domino’s is well-positioned to continue its growth. As the largest pizza company in the world, with over 22,100 stores in over 90 markets, Domino’s is set to continue expanding and gaining market share, which is good news for fast food lovers.
