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."

this is one of my top-performing sipp shares and i shall be holding it for a long time, occasionally adding a few and then perhaps taking a profit

Director takes up share option and then sells the lot, not unusual at a guess and given that it's the end of the tax year.

Our skills in e-commerce, marketing and supply chain will complement the excellent local know-how of our partners in Iceland, Norway and Sweden and help to grow the Domino's brand. This is a great deal for everyone concerned and we look forward to welcoming our new colleagues and customers."

for no good reason that i can see, DOM has dumped ~50p this morning
most likely peeps just clearing the decks a bit "just in case"
quite tempted to add more to my sipp in this sort of level, but shall watch for further weakness

Domino's Pizza Group has confirmed that the sub-division of each of its ordinary shares of 1.5625 pence each into 3 new ordinary shares of 25/48ths of a penny each has become effective.

Berenberg today reaffirms its buy investment rating on Domino's Pizza Group PLC (LON:DOM) and cut its price target to 400p (from 1200p pre sub division).

Barclays Capital today reaffirms its overweight investment rating on Domino's Pizza Group PLC (LON:DOM) and cut its price target to 283p (from 850p pre subdivision).

i remain a great fan of this stock and do not think they will suffer much if at all from brexit
it's often pretty volatile, and worth keeping open a view to buy on any significant dip
however, be aware that 50/200 dma coincide at 335, so that may prove something of a hurdle

Bought ın today.

the polish offshoot (DPP.L) was picked up by Quantum Leap as being a good growth stock
their figures were posted a couple of days ago and certainly did not disapoint, with sp jumping and still continuing north
definitely worth considering as a cheap way into the product or even in its own right - currently 49p

I recently saw a lengthy broker note which was negative for DOM but positive for Just Eat. I will post when I can find it again.

OK Thanks HC. Looking for a good entry point.

Cenkos note last wed:
"DOM has announced a robust trading performance for Q3 2016 achieving further progress in system sales metrics, albeit against tough comparatives. The core UK business achieved 3.9% LFL growth in Q3 2016 system sales (c.f. 14.9% in Q3 2015) with YTD LFL sales growth of 8.6%. We believe our full-year 2016 estimate of 10.0% LFL UK system sales growth remains achievable pending a resilient Q4 performance. Digital sales continue to progress, increasing by 18.1% during the period with a continued migration of sales orders being captured online (over 81%) and with 64% placed via mobile/app during YTD. The store opening programme also continues apace with 21 new UK stores opened during the period (51 YTD) with management guidance now being increased from 70 new stores in 2016 to 80. The international businesses performed below our expectations during the quarter with LFL system sales increasing by 7.6% in Ireland and flat in Switzerland, leaving a bigger ask in Q4 trading to hit our full-year expectations. The new Icelandic business has made a positive contribution with 4 stores opened in the year to date while the German JV has performed in-line with management expectations. Despite the tougher H2 trading comparatives, management has today reiterated it remains confident of achieving full-year 2016 results in-line with market expectations (Cenkos estimates – adjusted pre-tax £84.4m, adjusted EPS 13.6p and dividend of 8.17p). The shares trade on a 2016 EV/EBITDA rating of 18.1x falling to 15.1x in 2018 based on forecasts. While the business continues to trade well, there remain ongoing headwinds and there is no room for error in Q4 trading. We continue to prefer the pure-play digital platform JUST EAT, that although trades on a premium (2016 EV/EBITDA of 33.0x falling to 17.9x in 2018), has enjoyed several upgrades to forecasts in the current year and has outperformed the All-Share in contrast to the underperformance observed with Domino’s. In our view this stock offers investors a much stronger profile of reward relative to valuation and we continue to recommend investors switch from Domino’s where the risk to forecasts remains on the downside."
