Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (DPZ) on Top of the Fast Food Trio: Yum! Brands, Inc. (YUM), Dunkin Brands Group Inc (DNKN)

It is important to note, however, that the US market is declining just as these emerging markets are booming. And it is tongue in cheek, considering that US is where Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE:YUM) such as KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell originally took off. The firm’s formula for growth is overhanging, since too much focus on the emerging markets may mean drifting away from the US market, which used to be its steadiest stronghold. It has to maintain the equilibrium between both markets, so in the event that the Chinese and other emerging markets flake out, there will still be the US market to serve as its fallback.

Where rivals fail, Domino’s Pizza gets Ahead

Apparently, both Dunkin Brands Group Inc (NASDAQ:DNKN) and Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE:YUM) currently show strong fundamentals, but a closer look at the figures reveals more of the downsides that may get in the way of their sustained growth. On the other hand, Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NYSE:DPZ)’s consistent gain of roughly 245% for the past five years, skyrocketing operating cash flow and competitive business model place the firm in a much better position ahead. Especially now that its recent fourth quarter report accounted $0.64 per share net income that was $0.04 per share higher than projections, it is without a doubt that this fast food giant remains seated on top of the competition and guarantees considerable profits to investors.
