- Domino's Pizza reported Q2 profit of $135.8 million ($4.07/share), up from $131.1 million ($3.81/share) a year earlier.
- Analyst expectations polled by FactSet had called for $138.9 million ($4.17/share), meaning Domino's missed EPS estimates by $0.10.
- U.S. same-store sales growth decelerated to just 0.1% in Q2, down from 3.4% a year earlier.
- Domino's also reported higher revenue in the quarter alongside the increased profit.
- The Q2 earnings were released on Monday.
Why it matters: Domino's grew Q2 profit to $135.8M from $131.1M YoY, yet the $0.10 EPS miss against FactSet's $4.17 consensus and the collapse in U.S. comp growth from 3.4% to 0.1% expose a sharp domestic demand slowdown that the topline gain doesn't offset — the kind of split report that tests investor patience with mature restaurant chains.
