Domino's Pizza, Chipotle Mexican Grill and Starbucks hit all-time highs on Thursday as investors shrugged off any concerns about the delta Covid variant. <\/p>\n
On Monday, stocks fell sharply over concerns about a resurgence of Covid cases tied to the variant. The S&P 500 tumbled 2.1%, and pandemic losers like airline and hotel stocks bore the brunt of the losses. Shares of Starbucks and Domino's also dipped.<\/p>\n
The U.S. reported more than 52,000 new Covid cases on Wednesday, according to Johns Hopkins University. But fears tied to the resurgence of infections took a backseat for restaurant stocks.<\/p>\n
Shares of Domino's climbed more than 12% in morning trading after the company's second-quarter earnings and revenue topped Wall Street's estimates. Despite concerns about pizza fatigue and tough comparisons to last year's skyrocketing sales, the company reported U.S. same-store sales growth of more than 3%.<\/p>\n
Domino's stock has risen 38% year-to-date, bringing its market value to $20.6 billion. Thursday's stock move set a record high of $532.94 a share for the pizza chain.<\/p>\n
Chipotle shares were up more than 1%, falling slightly after setting a new high of $1,806.66 per share. The burrito chain shared its own second-quarter results on Tuesday afternoon, beating analysts' expectations. The stock has climbed 28% this year, giving the company a market value of $50 billion.<\/p>\n
Starbucks' stock rose 2% in morning trading, creating an all-time high of $121.93 per share. The coffee chain is expected to report the results of its latest quarter after the bell on Tuesday. Its stock has risen 13% this year, bringing its market value to $143 billion.<\/p>\n
