New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - October 20, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Papa John's International Inc. ("Papa Johns" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PZZA) and reminds investors of the November 2, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

Papa Johns ultimately required a significant shift in strategy toward a sharp increase in promotional efforts to abate the Company's declining competitive position.
On August 6, 2026, Papa Johns announced an 8.3% decrease in North American comparable sales, the suspension of its dividend, and a sharp reduction in its 2026 outlook from a 3% decline in North American comparable sales at the midpoint to a 7% annual decline. The Company attributed its strategic shift and guidance reset on the soft consumer trends and the execution of Papa Johns' own turnaround efforts, admitting they were unable to "meet the consumer as much as [they] should have," and the rebuilt innovation pipeline was "not bringing in as many new customers" as had been expected.
On this news, the price of Papa Johns' common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $29.75 per share on August 5, 2026, Papa Johns' stock price fell to $24.64 per share on August 6, 2026, a decline of about 17.18% in the span of just a single day.

Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

What Happened?
On August 6, 2026, Papa Johns issued its second quarter 2026 financial results, reporting an 8.3% decline in North American comparable sales. The Company also reduced its fiscal 2026 outlook, expecting “global system-wide sales to decline between 2% and 4% compared to last year and adjusted EBITDA between $180 million to $190 million,” and suspended its quarterly dividend. During the related conference call, CEO Todd Allan Penegor stated that “it’s clear that our transformation is taking longer than expected” and “we must execute better and move faster.”
On this news, Papa Johns’ stock price fell $5.11 or 17.18%, to close at $24.64 per share on August 6, 2026, thereby injuring investors.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that between August 7, 2025 and August 5, 2026, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the effectiveness and ongoing impact of the Company’s strategic transformation as well as their resulting projected growth outlook for the North American region; (2) Defendants also minimized the risk of cautious consumer sentiment, competition woes, promotional seasonality, and more general macroeconomic fluctuation; (3) In truth, Papa Johns’ strategic transformation was taking considerably longer than the projections had suggested and the Company was simply ill equipped to “meet the consumer where they're at;” and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Papa John’s International, Inc. securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than November 2, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

(NASDAQ: PZZA) that two senior officers, President and Chief Executive Officer Todd Allan Penegor and former Chief Financial Officer Ravi Thanawala, are named as individual defendants facing control person claims under Section 20(a) in a pending securities class action covering purchases between August 7, 2025 and August 5, 2026. Find out if you may be eligible to recover losses. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.
PZZA INVESTOR ALERT
The action centers on the August 6, 2026 announcement in which Papa John's cut its 2026 North American comparable sales outlook from a 3% decline at the midpoint to an annual decline of 6-8% and suspended its dividend. PZZA fell $5.11 per share, or about 17.18%, to close at $24.64. The window to apply for lead plaintiff closes on November 2, 2026.
The Named Individual Defendants
Penegor served as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a Director for the entire Class Period. Thanawala served as Chief Financial Officer and EVP International until November 18, 2025, then as Chief Financial Officer and President of the North American business until June 30, 2026, remaining in an advisory capacity through July 31, 2026. Both are alleged to have possessed the power and authority to control the content of the Company's SEC reports, press releases, and presentations to securities analysts and institutional investors.
Alleged Control Person Liability
Authority over the content and timing of quarterly earnings releases and the North American comparable sales guidance issued during the Class Period.Access to internal reporting on transaction trends, promotional spending, and innovation pipeline performance before those figures reached the investing public.Signature and certification authority over periodic SEC filings under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.The ability, as alleged, to prevent or correct statements characterizing the transformation as delivering sustainable, profitable growth.Oversight of roughly $22 million in supplemental marketing and franchisee subsidies tied to the 2026 promotional and innovation calendar.Under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, officers alleged to have controlled a company that violated Section 10(b) may be held jointly liable for resulting investor losses. Sarbanes-Oxley Certification Obligations
Sarbanes-Oxley certifications require signing officers to attest that periodic reports contain no untrue statement of material fact. The complaint contends those certifications were inaccurate because the transformation was allegedly taking longer than expected and ultimately required a sharp pivot toward promotional discounting that was not disclosed to shareholders.
"Corporate officers have a duty to ensure their companies' public statements are accurate and complete. The complaint contends that shareholders were told the transformation was working while conditions allegedly pointed toward continued market share losses. Section 20(a) exists so that the individuals who controlled those disclosures can be held accountable." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

What Happened?
On August 6, 2026, Papa Johns issued its second quarter 2026 financial results, reporting an 8.3% decline in North American comparable sales. The Company also reduced its fiscal 2026 outlook, expecting “global system-wide sales to decline between 2% and 4% compared to last year and adjusted EBITDA between $180 million to $190 million,” and suspended its quarterly dividend. During the related conference call, CEO Todd Allan Penegor stated that “it’s clear that our transformation is taking longer than expected” and “we must execute better and move faster.”
On this news, Papa Johns’ stock price fell $5.11 or 17.18%, to close at $24.64 per share on August 6, 2026, thereby injuring investors.
What Is the Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the effectiveness and ongoing impact of the Company’s strategic transformation as well as their resulting projected growth outlook for the North American region; (2) Defendants also minimized the risk of cautious consumer sentiment, competition woes, promotional seasonality, and more general macroeconomic fluctuation; (3) In truth, Papa Johns’ strategic transformation was taking considerably longer than the projections had suggested and the Company was simply ill equipped to “meet the consumer where they're at;” and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Papa John's Q2 2026 revenue came in at $482.4 million versus $529.2 million a year earlier, global comparable sales fell 5.7%, and PZZA shares declined following the operating update. Levi & Korsinsky is investigating potential securities law violations.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Papa John's International (NASDAQ: PZZA) shareholders absorbed losses after the Company's Q2 2026 operating update, which reported revenue of $482.4 million -- down 8.8% year over year from $529.2 million -- and a 5.7% decline in global comparable sales. If you lost money on PZZA, you are encouraged to submit your investor information here. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
The reported quarter reflected a wide split between the headline earnings line and the underlying business. Adjusted EPS of $0.46 came in one cent above the $0.45 consensus estimate. In the same update, North American comparable sales declined 8.3%, and the Company reduced full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to $180-$190 million from $200-$210 million. Papa John's also suspended its quarterly dividend.
Analyst commentary following the update tied the market reaction to the reduced full-year outlook and the dividend suspension as key drivers of the market reaction, rather than to the adjusted EPS result itself. Levi & Korsinsky is investigating potential securities law violations on behalf of PZZA investors.
Investors who purchased Papa John's shares and suffered losses are encouraged to have their losses evaluated at no cost, or call (212) 363-7500.

Papa John's Q2 earnings: by the numbers Sales beat expectations, but nonetheless declined 5% year over year, with same-store sales down closer to 6%. (A net of 41 new restaurant openings in the quarter explained the difference.)
Earnings were even worse. Although Papa John's beat expectations here, too, the "$0.46" profit noted above was only a pro forma figure. Earnings calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) were barely half that -- $0.24 per share -- and down 14% from last year's Q2.
Accentuating the positive, Papa John's emphasized its 1.5% increase in same-store sales for its international business (which makes the 9% decline in comps among North American restaurants look even worse).

What's next for Papa John's stock? None of the above is what really upset investors, however. Knowing that Papa John's has been a buyout candidate for Qatari-backed Irth Capital Management, investors were hoping for a quick payout and a nice premium should Papa John's accept the Qatari offer. Today, management dashed that hope, confirming that Papa John's has decided to remain independent and try to turn its business around on its own.
"While our transformation is taking longer than anticipated," explained CEO Todd Penegor, "we continue to execute our strategy with discipline and focus and are seeing encouraging progress." Unfortunately, to pay for that progress, Papa John's is also suspending its dividend effective next quarter.
Cue sell-off.

Papa John's (PZZA - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.46 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.43 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.41 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +6.98%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this pizza chain would post earnings of $0.4 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.32, delivering a surprise of -20%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Papa John's, which belongs to the Zacks Retail - Restaurants industry, posted revenues of $482.4 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.02%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $529.17 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Papa John's shares have lost about 22.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%.
What's Next for Papa John's?While Papa John's has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Papa John's was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.28 on $475.69 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.47 on $1.91 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Retail - Restaurants is currently in the bottom 22% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Aramark (ARMK - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 11.
This provider of food, facilities and uniform services is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.48 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +20%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Aramark's revenues are expected to be $4.95 billion, up 6.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Bank of America snížila hodnocení Papa John's na Underperform z Neutral a zredukovala cílovou cenu na 34 USD kvůli odchodu CFO, trvalému tlaku konkurence a méně optimistickému výhledu růstu tržeb v porovnatelných prodejnách.
Papa John's International Inc (NASDAQ:PZZA) was downgraded to 'Underperform' from 'Neutral' by Bank of America, with analysts citing the company's chief financial officer's departure, persistent competitive pressures and a less optimistic outlook for same-store sales growth (SSSG).
The brokerage lowered its price objective to $34 from $42, in line with current levels, and reduced its earnings forecasts, writing that former CFO Ravi Thanawala's departure "suggests rapid SSSG turn unlikely."
"While former CFO Ravi Thanawala's departure for AEO will allow him to return to his previous industry, we think it's unlikely he would have left his post after less than three years if he believed a sharp turnaround were imminent," the analysts wrote.
"In addition, the disruption that comes with management turnover - particularly at a time when Papa John's is trying to execute a turnaround - may translate into less earnings predictability."
Bank of America also pointed to heightened competition in the pizza segment, arguing that larger operators continue to benefit from greater scale.
The analysts noted that Papa John's reported negative first-quarter 2026 same-store sales growth despite easier year-over-year comparisons, while Domino's Pizza outperformed. They said Domino's larger domestic system sales base provides lower costs and stronger unit economics, supporting investments in customer experience and value.
The firm estimates Domino's average co-op restaurant EBITDA at about $200,000 compared with approximately $140,000 for Papa John's, adding that the difference in franchisee cash flow is likely proportionate.
Bank of America lowered its second quarter North American same-store sales growth forecast to negative 6.7% from negative 6.4%, while reducing its international same-store sales growth estimate to 2.5% from 3.5%. Its adjusted EBITDA forecast was cut to $199 million from $204 million, compared with the company's full-year guidance range of $200 million to $210 million.
The analysts believe that competitive intensity increased further during the second quarter and that high-frequency data indicated Papa John's sales growth remained largely unchanged despite the launch of a Toy Story 5 promotional tie-in in late May.
Explaining the valuation change, Bank of America wrote that it lowered its price objective by applying a lower earnings multiple, while noting valuation multiples across the limited-service restaurant sector have compressed.
The analysts added that the recent sale of Yum Brands' Pizza Hut business also suggests limited upside for Papa John's valuation, concluding they see more near-term upside opportunities elsewhere.
