Domino&#8217;s Pizza, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) will release earnings results for the first quarter, before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DPZ/earnings">opening bell on Monday, April 28.</a>
Analysts expect the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company to report quarterly earnings at $4.05 per share. That&#8217;s an increase from $3.58 per share in the year-ago period. Domino&#8217;s projects to report quarterly revenue at $1.12 billion, compared to $1.08 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Wednesday, Baird analyst David Tarantino maintained Domino&#8217;s Pizza with an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $500 to $535.
With the recent buzz around Domino&#8217;s, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. Currently, Domino&#8217;s offers an annual dividend yield of 1.43% and a quarterly dividend of $1.74 per share ($6.96 a year).
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $420,630 or around 862 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $83,931 or around 172 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($6.96 in this case). So, $6,000 / $6.96 = 862 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $6.96 = 172 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
DPZ Price Action: Shares of Domino&#8217;s gained 0.4% to close at $487.97 on Thursday.

Management

A. O. Smith Announces Stephen Shafer Named President And Chief Executive Officer

The detox phase may be over but don't expect investors to binge just yet. JPMorgan's equity strategy team, led by Dubravko Lakos-Bujas and Bhupinder Singh, thinks the worst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">of tariff trauma</a> might be easing &#8211; though the business cycle hangover still lingers.
In a market update that channels equal parts caution and calculated optimism, the duo points to a subtle but significant pivot in policy tone. "The latest messaging from the Trump Administration seems to be shifting from tariffs to tax cuts and deregulation," they write a shift that may reduce the left tail risk that's had investors hiding in cash and hugging their low-leverage books.
But don't confuse hope with resolution. "Clarity and closure are still needed," JPMorgan warns, especially as trade chatter with China heats up again. Deals with Japan, Korea and India could serve as templates, but the big dragon in the room &#8211; China &#8211; remains the key.
President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs may come down, but will a complete rollback follow? Unlikely. Transshipment tricks and political posturing will keep some barriers in place.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bearish Bias And Pain Trade</h2>
"Sentiment is very bearish," the strategists say, with many in the macro community brushing off positive trade signals thanks to "Trump exhaustion." Systematic portfolios have scaled back so aggressively that some are flirting with max short levels. Translation: the pain trade is up.
JPMorgan sees the S&amp;P 500 likely staying range-bound between 5,200 (base case) and 5,800 (bull case), driven by EPS estimates of $250 and $260, respectively, for 2025. But in the near term, the bias is upward as markets "preposition on tariff de-escalation."
For investors, that means playing defense might soon come at the cost of missing out. ETFs like the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (ARCA: SPY) and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ) could benefit if this pain trade reversal plays out.
Meanwhile, iShares MSCI USA Min Vol Factor TF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USMV#NYSE">USMV</a>) remains a favorite among those still clinging to Low Volatility strategies &#8211; just look at the "sharp rise in Low Vol crowding," the report notes.
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/04/44962489/vix-is-still-wild-but-not-for-long-3-volatility-etfs-to-grab-before-calm-returns">VIX Is Still Wild, But Not for Long: 3 Volatility ETFs To Grab Before Calm Returns</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Momentum Out, Buybacks In</h2>
Even with volatility, JPMorgan expects a corporate silver lining. "US corporates to deliver record buyback executions," thanks to recent equity swings. That should provide some cushion &#8211; especially as the dollar dips, energy prices fall and easier monetary policy lurks.
Still, don't count on a multiple re-rating to the euphoric 22-24x highs. JPMorgan thinks a "~20x upper bound multiple is more reasonable," citing high-quality fundamentals, AI-driven capex cycles, and capital returns.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Plays For A Murky Macro</h2>
As market clarity remains elusive, the strategists highlight the subtle Trump Put &#8211; volatility may be self-inflicted, but now there's an incentive to walk it back. That leaves opportunities for investors willing to hold their noses and look past the noise.
For those leaning into the upside risk:
<ul>
<li>SPY and QQQ for broad market exposure,</li>
<li>USMV for safety-first plays,</li>
<li>Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIG#NYSE">VIG</a>) as buybacks and cash returns heat up,</li>
<li>iShares MSCI China ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NYSE">MCHI</a>) for any surprise breakthroughs with Beijing.</li>
</ul>
The detox might be over, but the bull case is still waiting for its adrenaline shot. For now, investors may want to brace for a "range-bound" grind &#8211; with the pain trade whispering from the upside.

Slate Auto, the EV manufacturer backed by Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos, has unveiled its modular EV pickup truck.
What Happened: The two-seater EV pickup truck features a retro design that is reminiscent of yesteryear models from manufacturers like Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>).
The truck will be priced competitively, with a $20,000 price tag post federal EV credit and be available by the end of 2026, the company said as it showcased the truck at a launch event in Long Beach, California, on Thursday. The company says that customers can make a reservation for the vehicle on the website for $50.
"We are building the affordable vehicle that has long been promised but never been delivered," Slate CEO Chris Barman said at the event.
As stated above, the truck features a modular design and can be had in either a two-seater pickup truck or a five-seater SUV trim. The official website for the company features 25 starter kits for customers to choose from, each catered to a different use case.
Slate Auto says the truck offers a standard range of 150 miles, but a longer battery pack would offer 240 miles of projected range on a single charge. The spec sheet suggests the truck has a 1400 lbs hauling capacity and a 1000 lbs towing capacity, and features a five-foot-long bed.
The truck does not have paint options and is available in the standard grey color, but instead, a wrap of any color from the available options can be chosen by the customer when placing an order. The truck also features no stereo system or touchscreen display.
Why It Matters: The launch comes in as talks of the pickup truck have been in the headlines for the past few weeks, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44784826/jeff-bezos-backed-slate-auto-to-take-on-elon-musks-tesla-rivian-with-budget-ev-pickup-report">the concept truck being sighted</a> by people on multiple occasions.
The company would be poised to take on the likes of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), which recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44919745/cybertruck-gets-a-down-to-earth-redesign-as-tesla-shifts-to-traditional-pickup-marketing-amid-poor-sales">pivoted its marketing strategy</a> for the Cybertruck to position it as a working man's truck.
Tesla has also informed investors of its plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44942792/tesla-q1-earnings-call-company-says-more-affordable-models-launching-this-year">release more affordable models</a> this year, which could help boost the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44802015/us-electric-vehicle-sales-up-11-in-q1-as-tesla-declines-the-winners-and-losers">company's declining sales</a> in the U.S. domestic EV sector.

VALE S.A.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VALE#NYSE">VALE</a>) shares are trading lower on Friday. On Thursday, the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/53207d1c-63b4-48f1-96b7-19869fae19fe/d48b666d-268f-8226-ffa4-8dae96818831?origin=2" rel="noreferrer noopener">a decline in first-quarter</a> net operating revenue of&nbsp;4%&nbsp;year over year (Y/Y) to&nbsp;$8.119 billion, beating the consensus of&nbsp;$8.03 billion.
Sales from Iron ore rose 4% year over year, copper grew 7% year over year, and nickel surged 18% year over year.
The company produced 67.7 million tonnes (Mt) of iron ore, which was down 4.5% year over year. Production in the Northern System <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44836101/vale-q1-mixed-iron-ore-output-falls-4-amid-heavy-rains-copper-and-nickel-output-gains" rel="noreferrer noopener">was constrained by heavy rainfall</a>.
The average realized iron ore fines price declined&nbsp;10%&nbsp;year over year to&nbsp;$90.8/t due to lower premium levels. Copper and nickel all-in costs stood at&nbsp;$1,212/t and&nbsp;$15,730/t, respectively, in the quarter.&nbsp;
Adjusted EPS of 33 cents missed&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of 39 cents</a>. Proforma EBITDA declined&nbsp;8%&nbsp;Y/Y to&nbsp;$3.2 billion&nbsp;in the quarter due to lower iron ore and nickel prices.
Capital expenditure fell&nbsp;16%&nbsp;Y/Y to&nbsp;$1.2 billion&nbsp;in the quarter. As of March 31, cash and cash equivalent stood at&nbsp;$3.96 billion.
The company approved&nbsp;$1.979 billion&nbsp;in dividends and interest on capital.&nbsp;
Gustavo Pimenta, CEO, said,&nbsp;"Our value-accretive projects continue to progress, being essential elements towards enhancing our portfolio flexibility and improving operational and cost efficiency."
"Additionally, we have been consistently optimizing our balance sheet through asset-light solutions, such as the transaction that created the strategic joint venture at Alianca Energia, which will also help us deliver on our long-term decarbonization goals.
"The current macroeconomic environment and market volatility reinforce the importance of our Vale 2030 strategy, whereby we are building an even more competitive company that can thrive in any market condition."
Outlook: Vale continues to see iron ore production of 325-335 Mt for FY25 and 340-360 Mt&nbsp;in&nbsp;FY26, driven by the expected full capacity of Vargem Grande 1 and Capanema projects in the first half of 2026.
