Analysts at Oppenheimer think earnings will drive shares of Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ) higher.

"Comps are poised to accelerate and DPZ's model does not face 'tough' weather-related SSS comparisons or food cost issues that are upcoming headwinds for most restaurants," said analyst Brian Bittner.

He thinks the Domino's fourth-quarter pan pizza launch provides opportunity to convert trial users into a pan-eating core of customers. Pan pizza is the second largest sub-pizza category, at 20 percent.

Oppenheimer maintained an Outperform rating on Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ) with a price target of $44.00.
