Domino's Pizza is trading at about 20.1 times earnings, its lowest valuation in nearly a decade, as investors weigh two main concerns: plateauing U.S. same-store sales despite global store growth, and potential demand loss from wider adoption of GLP-1 weight‑loss drugs. Management says it has not seen a measurable GLP‑1 impact yet, but analysts model significant long‑term shifts in eating habits that could cap mid‑single‑digit comp growth.

Several banks have already lowered price targets; additionally, competitive pressure and an impending leadership change weigh on near-term growth prospects. » More on de.investing.com
