Domino's Lowers Fiscal 2026 Growth Outlook Amid Franchisee and International Challenges

Domino’s lowered its fiscal 2026 U.S. net store opening target to 125–150 locations, citing development pipeline pressures and franchisee economics. It now expects full-year operating income growth in the mid-single digits, excluding currency impacts and specified items, while international same-store sales are projected to be approximately flat amid macroeconomic uncertainty and challenges at Domino’s Pizza Enterprises. In the third quarter of 2026, order counts grew in both delivery and carryout, but U.S. same-store sales rose just 0.3% as customers managed spending.
