Domino's Pizza Continues To Be A Controversial Stock, Credit Suisse Says

Credit Suisse analyst Lauren Silberman reiterated a Neutral rating on the shares of Domino's Pizza Inc DPZ and lowered the price target to $375 from $425.
The analyst thinks Domino's continues to be a controversial stock, with sentiments leaning more on the positive side.
Easing compares, incremental price and service improvements supportive of an acceleration in U.S. same-store sales, and its strong value positioning supportive of relative outperformance in a more challenging consumer backdrop are seen as positives in bulls' view.
The bear case points to the U.S. demand concerns amidst an increase in promotional activity.
The increased level of promotions, Silberman thinks, has fueled concerns on underlying demand based on the view that this level of activity would be unnecessary if same-store sales challenges were only related to delivery driver shortages.
Though bulls are hopeful that incremental price increases & potential 3P partnerships offer upside to same-store sales, the analyst continues to believe that 3P partnerships would be limited to white label fulfilment rather than marketplace presence.
