There's a Polish version of this lot on AIM if you didn't know all, I'll start a thread if anyone's interested if I get time later.. they have previous over there apparently so be careful.

The Polish version was listed mid 2010 (from memory).

Analysts at Panmure Gordon are today reiterating their sell verdict on shares of Domino´s Pizza. This ahead of the company´s interim management statement expected out tomorrow.

In particular, the broker believes that the company´s rate of sales growth will be weighed upon by “relatively tough comps and mild weather.” Hence, it expects the company to report 3.3% like-for-like sales growth for Q4, below the 3.9% rate seen in Q3.

As well, Panmure Gordon highlights how, “the stock now trades at 24,1 times its 2011 price/earnings ratio and at a Enterprise Value/EBITDA (operating profits) multiple of 14.1, supported by a 3.0% yield. For a stock we forecast to grow earnings by approximately 11% in 2012 we view this as too expensive. We reiterate our sell recommendation and target price of 350p.”

Interim Management Statement.

Domino's is pleased to announce that system sales for the period increased by 9.5% to £145.0m (2010: £132.5m). System sales for the 52 weeks ended 25 December 2011 increased by 9.4% to £530.6m (2010: £485.3m). Like-for-like sales in 604 mature stores grew by 3.6% for the period (2010: 10.3% in 553 mature stores), with the UK stores up 4.0% and the stores in the Republic of Ireland down 1.0%. Like-for-like sales growth for the year was 3.0% (2010: 11.9%) with the UK stores up by 3.7% and the Republic of Ireland stores down 4.1%.

Not sure that adds a great deal to the discussion, Mitzy! ;o)

On Wednesday, pizza delivery outfit Domino's reports but there are not expected to be any surprises after the group said in an update last month that it has been trading in line with expectations. The firm's like-for-like (LFL) sales growth in fiscal 2011 was 3%, despite the Republic of Ireland (Xetra: A0Q8L3 - news) registering a 4.1% decline in LFL sales. "As the majority of this [+3.0%] LFL performance will be price as opposed to volume, we do not expect the incremental margin gain to be as strong as previous years, providing 2011E EPS growth of 13.1% vs. a 3 year average of 25.7%," says broker Collins Stewart (Other OTC: COLLF.PK - news) . The broker added that Wednesday would be the ideal time for the group to lay out its strategy for the next 12 months.
