Jim Cramer Compares Underwhelming Results From Domino’s to Stronger Peers

Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NASDAQ:DPZ) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls on Mad Money recently as he recapped mega-cap tech earnings. When a caller asked about the stock, Cramer was quick to say:

I gotta tell you, man, I happen to love Russell Wiener. I think he’s terrific, but boy, they missed the quarter. And when I read over the conference call, I just didn’t find anything that made me feel that this is the level. I couldn’t say this is the level because I got other restaurateurs doing incredibly well. I got Starbucks doing well, and I’ve got Kevin Hochman at Brinker doing incredibly well… By the way, Yum was good, but they’re, you know, they’re getting out of pizza. But no, no, it wasn’t good, and I don’t want it for the yield.

Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NASDAQ:DPZ) operates and franchises pizza restaurants under the Domino’s brand that sell pizzas, sides, sandwiches, pastas, and desserts. Discussing the company on December 17, 2025, Cramer said:

Fifth buyback monster, it’s another household name. It’s Domino’s Pizza… [It] has shrunk its share count by 38.2% since the end of 2015. That’s a lot. Domino’s is no longer the massive outperformer that it was from 2010 through 2021. The stock’s been pretty choppy for the past five years or so. But you know what? I think Domino’s can win in this current moment because it offers great value at a time when that’s what consumers care most about. We had CEO Russell Weiner on the show in October, and after he delivered a strong set of numbers, I thought he sounded very confident in the future. I believe him. I think it’s a buy now.
