Domino's Pizza Inc (NYSE:DPZ) is expected to report weaker-than-expected US same-store sales for the second quarter as macroeconomic pressures, elevated promotional activity across the pizza category and tougher year-over-year comparisons weigh on performance, according to UBS. Ahead of the company's July 20 earnings report, the brokerage wrote that investors are likely to focus on current and planned sales initiatives, as well as management's outlook for sales in the second half of the year.

The announcement comes as Domino's faces slowing sales growth and a reduced full-year outlook following a disappointing first quarter, raising the question of whether the CEO transition is a sign of deeper challenges ahead or an opportunity for the company to reinvigorate growth.

The category's sales are stagnant and its chains are faltering, but Domino's can emerge as a winner

After experiencing underwhelming to outright poor performance recently, several big names in the consumer discretionary sector are loading up on buyback capacity. All three of these moves signal management's confidence in their ability to turn the tide, but each also comes with a unique set of circumstances.

Plus, the U.S. will allow Iran to sell oil in dollars, and the ‘Gaokao' test strikes fear in China's high-schoolers.

Joe Jordan, Domino's operations chief, will succeed current CEO Russell Weiner.
