AI Brief
Q3 FY26 earnings call · Oct 13, 2026TL;DR. Domino's reported Q3 income from operations up 8.3% with continued order count and share gains, but cut full-year guidance, lowering international same-store sales to approximately flat, U.S. comps to the low end of low single digits, U.S. net new stores to 125-150, and operating income growth to mid-single digits, citing macro pressure, lower ticket/items-per-order, DPE weakness, and franchisee profit pressure.
- + Order count grew in both U.S. delivery and carryout, and Domino's continued to gain share within the QSR pizza category.
- + Returned $304.9 million to shareholders YTD via buybacks with $1.15 billion remaining on authorization, and declared a $1.99 quarterly dividend.
- − Cut full-year U.S. same-store sales outlook to the low end of low single digits from a challenging macro/competitive backdrop.
- − Cut full-year international same-store sales growth to approximately flat due to continued DPE pressure not expected to improve until 2027.
- − Cut full-year U.S. net new stores to 125-150 from increased development pipeline pressure and year-to-date pressure on franchisee profitability.
- − Free cash flow fell 7.2% YTD to $459.8 million on the timing/amount of advertising payments and operating asset/liability changes.

Capital returns
Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
