# Papa John's International share price today (Papa John's International, Inc., PZZA) > Papa John's International, Inc.'s balance sheet is under water: its net worth is negative, so it owes more than it owns. This is a high-risk situation: shareholders can be wiped out by new shares or a restructuring before the business recovers. PZZA · Consumer Discretionary · Restaurants · data as of 3 November 2026. Page: https://www.sectoralpha.in/us/stocks/pzza Sector Alpha also publishes a daily newsletter that explains one Indian stock at a time: https://newsletter.sectoralpha.in/?utm_source=sectoralpha&utm_medium=ai_text&utm_campaign=llms ## Key numbers - Business trend: Getting worse, from fewer quarters than usual - Price: $18.56 (−63.5% in a year) - P/E: 23.2× (lower than 81% of the last 1 year) - Revenue (Jun 2026): $482 M (−8.8% on a year ago) - Profit (Jun 2026): $8.1 M (−12.5% on a year ago) - Operating margin: 5.7% (+0.1 points on a year ago) - ROE: −7%, FY25 - ROIC: 14.6%, against a 5.7% cost of capital: +8.9 points The main question: the P/E is near the low end of its own history, higher than only 19% of past readings, but results are getting worse. A low multiple can stay low until the quarters turn. ## What is the Papa John's International share price today? Papa John's International, Inc.'s share price was $18.56 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 37.9% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $18 and $42, and at that close it sat 2% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 19 weeks running. Over the last 1 year the share price moved −61% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 26 June 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Papa John's International pay? Papa John's International, Inc. paid $1.84 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.46 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $18.56 that is a yield of 9.91%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Papa John's International on? Papa John's International is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Papa John's International profitable? Papa John's International, Inc. earned $8.1 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −12.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $29.6 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 64.1% a year on average. That is 1.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $9.3 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $29.6 M (−64.5% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed −8.8% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.1 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −44.5% and revenue −5.6%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Papa John's International make, and is it growing? Papa John's International, Inc. reported $482 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −8.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown −0.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $2.1 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.0 B. FY25 revenue was $2.1 B, −0.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −5.6% on average, against −0.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −5.6%, against −3.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −64.8%, against −38.1% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Papa John's International keep? Papa John's International, Inc.'s operating margin was 5.7% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 5.3% and 9.5%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.4 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Papa John's International's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 218% of Papa John's International, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $126 M of operating cash against $29.6 M of profit. After $74.4 M of spending on assets, $51.6 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Papa John's International's cash go? Papa John's International, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $224 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 3.6% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $224 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Papa John's International's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Papa John's International, Inc.'s P/E is 23.2×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 19% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 36.5×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −64.6% while the price moved −63.5%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Papa John's International business getting better or worse? Papa John's International, Inc.'s business is getting worse. Revenue, profit and EPS growth are shrinking: revenue growth is −5.6% in the latest quarter, against +1.8% at its best in 12 quarters. This is based on 12 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. The return-on-capital line is not shown: net worth is negative, so a return on capital means nothing. The balance sheet is in distress, and this reading uses the growth lines alone. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does Papa John's International earn on its capital? Papa John's International, Inc. earned a ROE of −7% in FY25. That is up from a low of −25% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 8.9 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 1.4% net margin and 2.45× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 1.4% net margin × 2.45× asset turnover × −1.94× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −6.7% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 14.6% − 5.7% = +8.9 percentage points. The 5.7% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 14.6% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 12.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Papa John's International have too much debt? Papa John's International, Inc.'s net worth is negative: it owes more than it owns, so a debt-to-equity ratio means nothing here. Year by year, that ratio went from −4.11 in FY21 to −2.17 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Papa John's International shareholding pattern? 22.0% of Papa John's International, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.7 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Papa John's International from balance-sheet trouble? For Papa John's International, Inc., the Z-score is 3.85. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 3.85 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Papa John's International rank in its industry? 32.8 out of 100, rank 29 of 29 in Restaurants, with 81% of the evidence available. Papa John's International, Inc. scores 32.8 out of 100 against the 29 companies it is compared with in Restaurants, ranking 29. A strong business with a high valuation: it would need rising earnings, or a lower multiple, to score better on value. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 8.6 + 16.3 + 6.2 + 1.7 = 32.8. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Papa John's International compared with? Papa John's International ranks 29 of 29 Restaurants companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 32.8 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

Papa John's International, Inc.'s FY25 operating margin was 5.3%, against a 5-year range of 5.3% to 9.5%: the low end of its own range, which is often where recoveries start.

The main question: the P/E is near the low end of its own history, higher than only 19% of past readings, but results are getting worse. A low multiple can stay low until the quarters turn. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Papa John's International a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Papa John's International, Inc.'s balance sheet is under water: its net worth is negative, so it owes more than it owns. This is a high-risk situation: shareholders can be wiped out by new shares or a restructuring before the business recovers. The main open question: whether the business can earn its way back to positive net worth before new shares or a restructuring get there first.
