numbers due out next week
regardless of how good they are, this stock has a habit of dumping on the news, so (imo) worth holding back some funds for such an event

a roaring set of numbers and reaction
i think this has been far and away my most consistent and profitable holding

Ironic seeing that it is a product you hate and that it is probably the single largest contributor to the growing obesity problem in the UK!! Seems the market likes the figures this time.

can't disagree

Blimey! Thats a first from Alf -):

SP up nearly a stonking 14%.

Good article in todays Telegraph.

Financial Director announces his resignation http://www.moneyam.com/action/news/showArticle?id=5156660

a rather nasty tumble this morning
anyone know the reason, for even if going xd, surely that would not be until tomorrow?

Can't see any obvious reason, but if you look at their 5 year chart they do tend to do this leading up to the turn of the year..

in a roaring market, the fall looked ridiculous so i bought a few at 962 ...... i hold more in my sipp but at a much lower price

clearly the unwarranted dump yesterday was indeed that
shame i wasn't brave enough to buy a lot more :-)

=====================

but have banked twiddly profit as markets likely to be unstable during the day

Very bullish broker note out today by Credit Suisse, hence the rise. Will post when I find it.

best day since October as broker upgrades

* Domino's Pizza +7.4%, top of FTSE 250 < .FTMC> and best day since mid Oct, as Credit Suisse upgrades to "outperform" v "neutral", adds to SMID Focus List
* CS raises FY16 and FY17 EPS forecasts by 15-19% (9%/14% above consensus)
* Cites Domino's US guidance of 3-6% International LFLs, further scope to improve online sales, and its assessment of management remuneration (consensus implies c40% LTIP pay-outs v 100% on its forecasts)
* Adds German JV reduces downside risks to cash flow [nFWN15G02C]
* CS ranked at four stars for recommendation accuracy on Domino's, StarMine shows
* Stock strong performer in 2014/2015, but weak lately (-22% from early Nov closing peak until Tues close)

More topping to go on this I wonder?!

Domino's Pizza Group's statutory after-tax profits rose to GBP59.3m in the 52 weeks to 27 December - 20% up on last time.

Group sales increased by £28.1m or 9.7% to £316.8m (2014: £288.7m). The increase in revenues is driven by a 15.8% increase in system sales. In the UK revenue saw a 10.1% increase to £283.7m (2014: £257.6m) and in Ireland revenue remained flat at £21.4m, owing to currency headwinds. In Switzerland revenue increased by 21.9% to £11.7m.

Underlying operating profit increased by 16.6% to £73.2m, higher than system sales, demonstrating the favourable operational gearing from its operating model.

In the UK and ROI underlying operating profit increased by 16.8% to £74.5m (2014: £63.8m), compared with system sales growth of 15.7%. The share of profits from its investments in associates and joint ventures has increased to £1.7m, up from £1.0m in 2014.

The group continues to view these joint operations as an excellent value generator and the opportunity to share in the full value chain of the Domino's system.

Chief executive David Wild said: "2015 was a terrific year for Domino's Pizza Group; the UK performance was outstanding, reflecting continued investment in our e-commerce platform. This underpins both our like-for-like results and the success of our new store programme. Digital continues to be at the heart of our business, driving more customers and higher frequency of orders. Our cash conversion is strong and we have today announced that we are ready to resume share buy backs alongside a dividend that is up 18.6%. We have made an encouraging start to 2016, although we are conscious of increasingly tough comparatives through the rest of the year. I would like to thank the DPG team for their hard work. I also want to pay tribute to our franchisees whose tireless endeavours ensure that our customers continue to enjoy great pizzas at great prices every day - whether ordered online or by phone, delivered to the door or collected in store."
