Shares of Domino's Pizza appreciated after BMO Capital upgraded the company from market perform to outperform.

This pizza chain is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.98 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -8%. Revenues are expected to be $1.07 billion, up 7.3% from the year-ago quarter.
