    Domino’s tracks Wall Street same-store sales figures citing ‘consumer surplus’

    Domino’s reported higher revenue and profit than Wall Street in its third-quarter report, but same-store sales were lower than Wall Street.

    The company reported revenue of $1.19 billion, higher than the $1.17 billion Wall Street expected. Adjusted earnings per share of $4.60 were $0.24 above the $4.36 per share expected, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates.

    In the United States, same-store sales rose only 0.3%, below the expected 0.7% jump. This is much less than the 1.7% increase recorded in the same quarter last year.

    International sales are also lagging. They are up 0.2%, against the expected 1.2%.

    “Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026, we expect the macroeconomic environment to continue to weigh on the consumer through the end of the year,” CEO Joseph Jordan told investors on his call.

    The stock fell about 3.5% at market open following this news, before paring some of those losses.

  • Citi stock rises after the bank reports its best third quarter revenue in a decade

    Citi (C) stock rose slightly after the bank beat profit expectations as fixed-income trading held up better than expected.

    The bank reported revenue of $23.8 billion, beating analysts’ estimates of $23.7 billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Earnings per share of $2.85 also beat expectations of $2.65 per share.

    Citi’s business unit said its revenue rose 6% year-over-year to $6.1 billion, driven by growth in equity and fixed-income revenue, which rose 14% and 4% year-over-year, respectively. Fixed income trading generated revenue of $4.4 billion, while equity trading brought in $1.7 billion.

    “Our performance during the quarter, which includes the best third quarter revenue in a decade, positive operating leverage and a significant improvement in our returns, reflects the disciplined and consistent execution of our strategy,” Citi CEO Jane Fraser said in the earnings release.

  • Wells Fargo Beats as Strong Customers Control Loan Losses

    Bloomberg reports:

    Wells Fargo & Co. reported third-quarter profits that beat Wall Street estimates as consumers and businesses held steady, keeping loan losses in check.

    The allowance for credit losses was $1 billion and net charge-offs, or loans the bank deems uncollectible, were $983 million, San Francisco-based Wells Fargo said in a statement Tuesday. Both figures were better than analysts’ average estimates in a Bloomberg survey.

    “Even though economic uncertainty exists and consumer confidence remains mixed, our data shows that our retail and business customers are doing well,” CEO Charlie Scharf said in the release. “Consumers are spending more, defaults are low, and deposit and investment balances have increased. Companies continue to have strong balance sheets and losses remain low.”

    Net income for the quarter increased 6.5% to $5.95 billion, or $1.87 per share, according to the release. Analysts were expecting adjusted earnings per share of $1.84. Revenue climbed 2% to $21.9 billion.

  • JPMorgan profit falls short of analyst estimates as Jamie Dimon warns economic forces ‘changing beneath the surface’

    David Hollerith of Yahoo Finance reports:

    JPMorgan Chase (JPM) reported another quarter of rising profits on Tuesday, even as revenue at some of its biggest Wall Street firms fell after a remarkable second quarter.

    The nation’s largest bank said its profit rose 6 percent from last year’s third quarter to $15.3 billion, or $5.57 per share, below the $5.90 per share analysts expected. Net revenue increased 8% to $50.2 billion from $46.4 billion in the third quarter of last year.

    Excluding $658 million in losses on paper securities, the bank earned $5.75 per share.

    Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, warned that “large budget deficits, persistent inflation, high asset prices, rising interest rates and geopolitical conditions continue to change beneath the surface” despite the strength of the U.S. economy, fueled by strong business investment and a continued spending consumer.

    “These forces may be manageable, but we remain prepared to face a wide range of consequences,” Dimon said.
