Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ) Misled Investors Regarding its Growth Projections
Robbins LLP informs investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Domino's Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ) securities between December 7, 2023 and July 17, 2024. Dominoโs, through its subsidiaries, operates as a global pizza company that offers pizzas and other food products under the Dominoโs brand name through Company-owned and franchised stores.
The Allegations
According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) DPE, the Companyโs largest master franchisee, was experiencing significant challenges with respect to both new store openings and closures of existing stores; (ii) as a result, Dominoโs was unlikely to meet its own previously issued long-term guidance for annual global net store growth; and (iii) accordingly, Dominoโs business and/or financial prospects were overstated.
On July 18, 2024, Dominoโs issued a press release announcing its Q2 2024 financial results. Among other items, Dominoโs disclosed that it โexpects it will fall 175 to 275 stores below its 2024 goal of 925+ net stores in international primarily as a result of challenges in both openings and closures being faced by Dominoโs Pizza Enterprises (โDPEโ), one of its master franchisees.โ Accordingly, โ[t]he Company is temporarily suspending its guidance metric of 1,100+ global net stores until the full effect of DPEโs store opens and closures on international net store growth are known.โ On this news, Dominoโs stock price fell $64.23 per share, or 13.57%, to close at $409.04 per share on July 18, 2024.
