Domino's Pizza UK reaffirms its 2025 earnings forecast and initiates a $27 million share buyback amid high costs and changing consumer trends.
(Reuters) -Britain's Domino's Pizza Group reaffirmed its annual earnings forecast and launched a 20 million-pound ($27 million) share buyback programme on Monday.
Last month, the company cut its 2025 core profit forecast to 130 million-140 million pounds, down from 141 million-150 million pounds, citing high costs and subdued customer demand.
Consumers in UK are tightening their purse strings amid persistent inflation, shifting weather and higher prices as companies pass on costs.
The company will raise prices to offset the higher wage bills and increased National Insurance contributions, CEO Andrew Rennie had told Reuters in August.
Analysts at Peel Hunt expects the company's like-for-like sales to pick up next year, helped by the full roll out of its loyalty programme, FIFA World Cup and better weather.

A share buyback occurs when a company purchases its own shares from the marketplace, reducing the number of outstanding shares. This can increase the value of remaining shares and is often used to return capital to shareholders.
Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises, eroding purchasing power. It is typically measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
A loyalty program is a marketing strategy designed to encourage customers to continue to shop at or use the services of a business by offering rewards, discounts, or other incentives.
