Panmure Gordon reduced its earnings forecasts for Domino's Pizza, reflecting the impact of start-up losses as part of the group's German expansion."Management guidance is that expansion into Germany will dilute earnings per share (EPS) by circa 3-4% per annum [in] 2011-13." After factoring in the reduced tax charge following the UK government budget (reduction in corporation tax), this equates to a 2% cut to EPS estimates.The broker keeps its 'sell', but scales back its target price slightly to 345p, from 350p.Matrix said that the Bowleven's test results for the Sapele-1ST (side-track) well were better than expected in light of pre-test expectations, and maintains its 'buy' rating and 390p target price.The well, located in the Douala Basin, offshore Cameroon, was drilled to a true vertical depth of 3,634m in water depths of around 24m, and the interval flowed at a stabilised rate of 2,023 barrels of oil per day. The group said that high quality oil was produced at 39.2 degree API (measure for the relative density of petroleum liquids), similar to that encountered at the original Sapele-1 well.
