I thought we had all decided that company buyback schemes did the private investor no favours at all? Sp falling off a cliff & presumably being shorted down to......? (240?)

Business Financial Newswire
"Domino's Pizza has confirmed that trading is continuing to trade strongly and the Board says it is confident of meeting the market's current expectations for the full year.

The Company has stated that it intends to repurchase up to 6m shares at a maximum price of 292p per share.

The tender offer closes on 11 December 2009 and represents approximately 3.7% of the issued share capital of the Company. "

very good company; strong management; consistently excellent results - haven't held for a while, but certainly worth checking out again

Harry - the original tender offer (mid November?) was for 317 a share - but it got pulled!

just goes to show that sometimes you just can't please the market ...... must just be some "selling on the news", so a chance to jump in if this company has appeal ..... it certainly does to me, even though i have not held for some time.

i may also take another look at RTN, which to my mind, rather falls into the same category as DOM, even if it is proper restaurants rather than take-away

A bit of a shake earlier - nice if you caught it!

by the looks of that chart - not a hope in hell!

Tried some Domino pizza's the other week....can't say that I was impressed...not as good as Pizzahut.....and a million lightyears from the real Italian homemade ones, but Domino's are all over the place.....the company is very successful !.

and that is the whole point ...
for myself, i'm glad i haven't eaten either .... pizza express was quite nasty enough

Domino's makes pizza like Mc Donald's makes burgers

too subtle for me that one

I'm guessing, cheap & nasty?
Wasn't impressed with my last trip to Dominos, so will stick to Papa Johns for take aways.

i'll stick to cooking at home!

Kosher then

Interim Management Statement.

The Company has had a strong start to 2010, despite the adverse weather conditions in the early part of the year. System sales for the period were up 17.5% to 118.9m (2009: 101.1m) and like-for-like sales for the period in 553 mature stores were up 10.5% (2009: 9.3% in 501 mature stores). E-commerce continued to grow strongly with sales online for the period up 52.3% to 25.3m (2009: 16.6m) and accounted for 28.8% of UK delivered sales (2009: 23.6%).



The Company has opened eight new stores since the beginning of the year (2009: 10 new stores), bringing it to a total of 616 stores as at 28 March 2010 (2009: 563), and is well-positioned to achieve its target of 55 new store openings this year.

if UK is indeed coming out of recession, this is a really good stock to hold, for all the obvious reasons ..... ditto RTN

You and me and dominos as time goes by.

you little tart you - though more likely to be dominoes!

lol..

The BUY broker following for this stock is very bullish. I reckon geography expansion will lead to greater growth....
