Hi Peter,
Firstly, Dominos is forecast to pay a ~47c dividend on the 28th of August, while the stocks forecast to yield 2.9% pa over the next 12-months. Unfortunately, this week’s trading update confirmed what we had thought and written about for some time, a stock that remains on a growth multiple, that is no longer growing. We see nothing in DMP to prompt us catching this particular falling knife. As is usually the case, stocks in aggressive downtrends will bounce strongly akin to a ping pong ball falling down a staircase, but it will eventually reach the bottom – avoiding DMP over the last few years has been the right call and its highly unlikely we will consider buying DMP in 2024.
Secondly, looking at Collins Foods Ltd (CKF), the owner of KFC and Taco Bell franchises is starting to show value as it slips under $9 but even with a 4.6% yield on offer its not on our radar – we would call it an “ok” yield play at current levels, but there are better opportunities out there in MM’s view.
