Domino's
Domino's revenue rose 5.0% to $4.9 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 19.3%, up from 18.7% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $672 million, up 31.1%. It paid out $595 million in dividends and buybacks, 89% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 2.1%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What Domino's does
Domino's sells pizza for delivery and carryout, along with sides such as bread, wings, chicken, pasta, sandwiches and desserts. It has more than 22,100 stores in over 90 markets, and about 99% of them are owned and run by independent franchisees. In the US, more than 85% of its sales in 2025 came through digital channels such as its website and app.
Domino's makes money mainly by charging franchisees royalties, a share of their sales, and fees, by selling them dough, cheese and other supplies, and by running some US stores itself. Its supply chain segment, which makes dough and delivers food and supplies to stores in the US and Canada, brought in 60.5% of revenue in 2025. The US stores segment, its franchise operations and company-owned stores, brought in 32.6%, and international franchising 6.9%. In the US it competes mainly with Pizza Hut, Papa John's and Little Caesars, plus regional and local pizzerias; abroad, mainly with Pizza Hut and Papa John's.
Most stores outside the US are run by master franchisees that hold the rights to whole countries or regions. The largest, Domino's Pizza Enterprises, ran 3,524 stores in 12 markets. Domino's itself had about 10,200 employees at the end of 2025.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Strong competition in pizza and in food delivery generally.
- Failing to open new stores and grow sales as its strategy plans.
- Rising food and labor costs, including cheese, its largest food cost, or shortages of workers.
- Its dependence on the success of its franchisees, whose actions it doesn't control.
- Its large debt, including securitized debt with strict terms.

Valuation
Two ways to value Domino's yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Domino's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Domino's fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $672M, net cash of −$4.7B at December 28, 2025 and 34 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Domino's: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 2.9% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 9% for a business of moderate risk (Restaurants); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Domino's earnings per share of $18.15 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 17.8×, the middle of Domino's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (the Consumer Discretionary median) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 10%, 9% and 8%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
