On July 24, Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ) released earnings for the second quarter ended June 17.

  • Drivers were busy last quarter, as sales grew a moderate 3.8%. The improvement came as a result of strong same-store sales increases across the board and new store openings in the international segment.
  • The company is recapitalizing itself, and those expenses ate up profits.
  • During the recapitalization process, the company rewarded shareholders with a $13.50 per-share dividend. Did the Income Investor team take notice?
