Domino's Pizza (DPZ) stock is sliding after reporting Q2 revenue that fell short of Wall Street's estimate. AB Bernstein senior analyst Danilo Gargiulo notes that both national and global demand was positive. He also says the results point to the strength of Domino's loyalty program and increased access to consumers through the partnership with Uber Eats (UBER). However, international markets are slowing down for Domino's in places like Japan, France, and Australia, which resulted in management lowering guidance on unit growth overseas.

When asked about Domino's long-term guidance, Gargiulo noted there may be a further overhang on the stock price until there is more clarity on what lies ahead for the pizza chain. He thinks the company's decision to suspend its long-term guidance on international stores shows that Domino's wants to wait and "be more safe about the real opportunity that is outstanding" before reinstating that outlook.
