Domino's $9.99 Pizza Deal Sparks 2.14% Stock Rally with 228th-Ranked $0.38 Billion Trading Volume

On August 25, 2025, Domino's Pizza Inc. (Nasdaq: DPZ) saw a 2.14% rise in its stock price, with a trading volume of $0.38 billion, ranking 228th in market activity. The company launched its "Best Deal Ever" promotion, offering any pizza with any toppings for $9.99 each, available for a limited time starting that day. The deal covers multiple crust types, sauces, and toppings, aiming to attract price-sensitive consumers ahead of back-to-school and Labor Day periods.

The promotion, highlighted by Executive Vice President Kate Trumbull, emphasizes value and versatility. Customers can customize pizzas with options like Handmade Pan or Gluten Free crusts and upgrade to Parmesan Stuffed Crust for an additional charge. The campaign aligns with Domino's strategy to boost digital sales, which accounted for over 85% of U.S. retail sales in 2024. By catering to group orders and seasonal events, the offer seeks to drive traffic and reinforce brand loyalty during a competitive end-of-summer market.

Domino's global retail sales reached $19.4 billion in the trailing four quarters through June 2025, with 99% of its 21,500+ locations operating under franchisees. The $9.99 pricing model undercuts industry averages, positioning the company to capture market share from rivals. While the promotion's impact on short-term sales remains unquantified, its focus on affordability and flexibility reflects ongoing efforts to maintain growth in a saturated fast-food sector.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day generated a total profit of $2,940 from December 2021 to August 2025, with a maximum drawdown of -$1,960. The Sharpe ratio of 1.53 indicates favorable risk-adjusted returns, though the worst-performing month, August 2025, saw a $790 loss.
