This summary was created by AI, based on 10 opinions in the last 12 months.

Restaurant Brands International (QSR) is considered a competitive player in the fast-food industry, leveraging a portfolio that includes Tim Hortons, Burger King, and Popeyes. Experts note that despite challenges like higher food costs and inflation impacting consumer spending, QSR demonstrates potential for growth, particularly through its loyalty programs and ongoing turnaround efforts at Burger King. While the stock has faced some fluctuations and missed earning expectations in the past, many analysts believe it is well-positioned for steady cash flow and increasing dividends in the future. Generally, the company is seen as having strong brands and significant upside potential, especially as it refranchises stores and increases its market foothold, particularly in international markets.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's piqued his interest because it's an impressive operator. They changed CEOs, who may repair broken relationships with their franchises. They're great acquirers. It would be tempting during a pullback.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 23/18, Up 17%) There was lots of skepticism a year ago on this name. All three banners are performing well. Tim's has been turning around. There are growth opportunities. He is modeling 17% EPS growth for a name trading at 19 times 2021. A little expensive but still a great international name.

BUY

Last quarter revenues were a slight miss. Burger King and Popeye's did perform well. He sees 18% EPS growth and it trades at a reasonable 19X. Good growth of stores and they're turning around Horton's. A good grower. It may be close to breaking out.

WEAK BUY

Holding in above major support level. Doesn't mind nibbling at it here. Testing a support level here. But we have a series of lower highs. If it could break the downtrend, he'd add more. It's cyclical, going sideways. Not too excited about this stock.

BUY

The bad news is that their Q3 revenues were shy and still they are still struggling with Tim Hortons which did a negative 1% EBITDA. The good news is that Popeye and BK are doing exceptionally well. International growth. He is modeling 17% EPS growth for 2018-2020. Lots of competition for capital in the space.

WATCH

Respects the brand and managers. He feels that managers will correct relations with franchisees. And QSR will make more acquisitions. He's watching this, but not ready to buy yet.

DON'T BUY

He used to own it under Tim Horton's. He wasn't excited when they bought Popeye's (for a lot). There's a lot of debt on balance sheet--a red flag. Horton's is a wonderful brand, and generates lots of free cash flow, but he can't buy it with this balance sheet.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick Nov.3, 2017, Down 11%) At the time, he liked its strong global growth and expected upturn at Tim Horton's. Burger King remains strong. Popeye's has turned a corner. Tim's is showing progress. He sees 17% EPS share. Trading at 19x with a reasonable growth rate. Their Q3 was a little disappointing, but he isn't changing his estimates. This will be fine over five years. They need to do a better job with their franchisees. Menu innovation is strong, but they are growing internationally (as in China) which is what investors should pay attention to.

COMMENT

The franchise owners battle in the news is an overhang. He's sniffing at it now. Valuation has fallen to a reasonable level. But he needs to study it more.

COMMENT

Likes it long term. Noise around franchisees and lawsuits, but they’re working through them. Popeye’s, etc. are starting to perform well. Has a 14-15% growth rate, not expensive. Long term, you’ll see good returns. Near term, noise will continue. The dividend of about 3% is expected to go higher.

DON'T BUY

Avoid it. Franchisees fighting with the company is not a good sign. Horton's has been a great brand, but after the QSR takeover, QSR has cut corners too much and franchisees are now pushing back. Also, the U.S. expansion didn't work.

COMMENT

They own Tim Hortons and Burger King and Popeye’s. These are the guys that own Kraft Heinz Company (KHC-Q) and G3 as well. They are known for cost cutting. Last quarter BK did very well but TH not so much. They have been trying to grow in the US and that has been more challenging that expected. But they are very good operators and he thinks they are going to buy something else.

WATCH

Wait a few more dollars to the lower-$70's before buying there. Wait a little more. Right now, it's moving down to that level.

BUY

He likes the business and the model and the valuation is good. They had to fix their reputation in Canada. They are taking that issue very seriously and are addressing it. He thinks the leverage is manageable in this company.

DON'T BUY

The fight with franchises was probably a buying opportunity. Same-store sales have slowed and valuations have risen. He'd rather look at Starbucks.
