What's next for Domino's Pizza Enterprises?

The company is aiming to return to profitable growth in FY27 after a period of resetting its store network and business model. Building on positive trials in Western Australia, Domino's plans to roll out a revised pricing and operating model across Australia, focusing on long-term franchisee profitability and less reliance on aggressive discounting.

Domino's remains committed to improving operational efficiency and supply chain resilience, preparing to meet ongoing consumer and regulatory changes. New CEO Andrew Gregory has taken the reins, signalling a focus on both network expansion and disciplined execution.
