Baird cut its price target from USD 325.00 to USD 320.00 on October 14, 2026, while retaining a neutral rating, as MarketBeat reported. Third-quarter results supplied a stronger operating counterpoint.

Third-quarter growth stays uneven

Domino's reported third-quarter revenue of USD 1.19 billion for the period ended September 6, 2026, up 3.40 percent from USD 1.15 billion a year earlier. The company's net income rose 9.20 percent to USD 152.18 million, while diluted earnings per share increased 12.70 percent to USD 4.60 from USD 4.08. These figures came from the company's October 13, 2026 release, available through Domino's Pizza.

The mix was less uniform beneath the headline earnings growth. U.S. same-store sales increased 0.30 percent and international same-store sales rose 0.20 percent in the third quarter, while global retail sales excluding foreign-currency effects grew 3.20 percent. Domino's added 175 net stores during the quarter, including 149 international locations.

Stock remains below its yearly high

On Nasdaq, DPZ was last at USD 316.31 on October 20, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 3.57 percent from USD 305.42. The quote stood USD 34.31, or 12.17 percent, above the 52-week low of USD 282.00 and USD 126.04, or 28.49 percent, below the 52-week high of USD 442.35. Trading volume was 945,506 shares.

Targets and shareholder dates

Baird's USD 320.00 target is 1.17 percent above the Nasdaq price of USD 316.31 on October 20, 2026. The result sits near the lower end of the recent analyst range: Citigroup had cut its target to USD 308.00 from USD 335.00 on October 14, 2026, according to MarketBeat.

Domino's board declared a USD 1.99 per share quarterly dividend on October 6, 2026. The record date is December 15, 2026, and payment is scheduled for December 30, 2026, according to the October 13 release. That timetable gives the stock a dated shareholder return event even as same-store sales growth remains modest.
