WallStCheatSheet.com notes the following on DPZ:
After hitting highs of $16.32 in late-April, shares plunged nearly 35% to $10.66 on July 1.  Since then, shares have put together a respectable rally, finishing up last week at $13.20.  Shares have been turned back at the $13-$13.50 range many times over the past few months.  A solid Q will be needed to make that resistance level a thing of the past.  If they can manage it, look for shares to run toward $14.40 before taking a shot at the aforementioned late-April highs.  DPZ’s earnings are highly correlated to cheese prices, so expect that to be a hot topic on the call.
