0952 GMT - Domino's Pizza Group's initiatives are delivering results, Peel Hunt analysts Douglas Jack and Ivor Jones write in a note. The company's like-for-like sales turned positive in the third quarter, benefiting from new product launches and improved service, they say. Its loyalty program is expected to have a greater impact in 2026 as the rollout completes, they say. The analysts anticipate stronger like-for-like sales and faster expansion to materialize by 2026, "unless the macro environment deteriorates." The company is the master franchise holder of Domino's stores in the U.K. and Ireland. Acquiring a second brand could reduce uncertainty, create supply chain synergies, expand the franchise base, and enhance long-term growth prospects, they add. Shares are down 1.9% at 1.90 pounds.
