Domino’s Pizza Group (LSE:DOM) has released its half-year results for 2025, highlighting continued growth in market share even as the broader consumer environment remains challenging. While system sales and group revenue posted modest increases, the company faced pressure on margins, with underlying EBITDA and profit before tax both declining. These were largely impacted by subdued consumer sentiment and rising employment costs.
Despite the financial headwinds, Domino’s successfully increased its share of the UK takeaway and pizza segments. Operational improvements, such as faster delivery times and successful pilot results from its new loyalty programme, contributed to stronger customer engagement. The group also reported encouraging progress in its growth initiatives, especially in Ireland, underscoring its commitment to long-term expansion.
In a signal of confidence, the board approved a higher interim dividend, reinforcing support for the current strategic direction. However, the outlook is tempered by concerns over financial leverage and negative equity, while technical indicators reflect bearish market sentiment.
