Heard that they were floating & have been reading their prospectus.

http://www.dominos.com.au/investors/default.asp?ID=315
144 pages, pdf format, lots of pretty pictures :rolleyes:

I've gotten 3 different responses from friends/family who invest:
#1 - Good IPO, shares have performed very well in the UK/USA since offering.
#2 - Good growth potential remains (seems evident in prospectus), offering price a tad rich.
#3 - Stay away (wouldn't elaborate lol).

..does this seem like a decent IPO to anyone? or more of a flop.

Re: Domino's Pizza?

Thought I'd get responses like this :) but it was worth asking to gauge opinion.

Seems like a solid co, however it's definitely not a short-term performer or anything.

Cheers guys.
 
Re: Domino's Pizza?

With the way the market is going at the moment, i might only be able to afford 1 dominos pizza soon...
 
Dominoes Pizza

I see they are listing tomorrow.

Does any one know what the listing price will be? I think it is $2.20 not sure. I see they are over subscribed. I have only just discovered they are listing.

Their pizzas are not bad by the way. Their Classic Italian is awesome!

Thoughts please. :confused:
 
Re: Domino's Pizza?

That was the issue price :)

I'm to understand they were heavily oversubscribed, expecting it to list at a premium. Will be watching this one tomorrow (didn't subscribe in the end).

Food is a very good investment although very volatile.
In most cases subject to quality rather than price.That`s why you have to keep your eye open on the public opinion especially when something is new.Ideal of course only for short-term investments.
In germany for example: everybody was crazy about McDonalds till Burger King showed up. I don`t know how it is by you guys down there in australia, but I ´m sure that its not much different.
What I observed also is that even more people are becoming aware of eating "healthier" but at the same time are still lazy to cook or have little time to do so. You gotta see what category of people the marketing of the company is trying to attract.
Hope I haven`t made your speculation more complicated.
(By the way...Food has been my buisness for the past 25 years.) ;)
 
Re: Domino's Pizza?

Personally, I think this stock may be a very risky one. There is very little profit in a pizza. My letterbox is constantly full of Domino Pizza vouchers. A pizza for $5 or $6 bucks, with a turn around time of 15 to 20 minutes to make one. Sure a good deal for the consumer, but very little profit margin for the stock holder. It is also junk food and people are turning away from this kinda food in the search for low fat, low carb. I guess the only good thing going for it is that Domino's is also owned by the same guy that started Burger King, now that is a true success story.

The ASX code for Domino's Pizza is DMP. Will that be pickup or delivery? :)

Agree completely with the junk food quote. Perhaps they could always morph into more healthy options later on as the big n evil burger chains are.

On a completely non money tangent this thread has touched on one of my current passions. Food. And how what we are eating in Australia is killing us.

I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in their health to do some research into the food that is being sold to us in this country.

I haven't eaten Pizza for 6 months, and can't see myself spending another dollar at an Aussie pizza franchise every again.
 
Re: Domino's Pizza?

Whats wrong with Pizza? Its gotta be healthy, especially vegetarian with all the greens??? Is it really that bad?

Just two pieces of pizza is equivalent to eating one Big Mac, in terms of calories.

I can eat a whole pizza, easy! (BTW I am a slim guy) So offically in one sitting I have eaten 4 Big Macs.

Pizza is full of fat, salt, carbs, and don't think that even veg pizzas are a healthy option, plenty of cheese (high fat/salt). You only have to look at McDonalds Chicken Ceaser Salad as an example, it has more fat in the dressing than a big Mac.

The only healthy option for pizza is to make it at home, that way you can somewhat control/limit the unhealthy options.

Ok I do agree a good pig-out on fast food occassionaly is something I crave, usually after a big night out. Nothing like grease to settle the stomach. LOL

Disclamer (to cover my ****) : I DO NOT HOLD THIS STOCK

Fleeta I'm by no means an expert. I would encourage you do some of your own research on the subject. What we eat is what we are to some extent.

A lot of what we eat in Australia is really very very bad for us.
