The restaurant's revenue missed estimates, however
Domino's Pizza Inc (NYSE:DPZ) reported second-quarter profits of $3.08, beating analyst estimates of $3.05, while revenue missed expectations. Insider Intelligence's senior analyst Zak Stambor noted that the "sluggish results help explain why Domino's is listing its menus on Uber Eats and Postmates to attract new customers," as higher menu prices and delivery charges pressure demand.
At last glance, DPZ was up 1.6% at $391.73, and earlier traded as high as $400.25. Should these gains hold, the stock will secure its first gain of its last three post-earnings sessions.
After announcing its partnership with Uber Technologies (UBER) on July 12, DPZ jumped 11.1%. Shares have remained at higher levels since, with this bull gap also pushing them above pressure at their 320-day moving average. Year-to-date, the stock is up 12.7%.
In the options pits, Domino's stock is today seeing five times the options volume typically seen at this point. The weekly 7/28 380-strike put is the most popular, with new positions being bought to open there.
