Restaurant Brands International (QSR) has shown resilience with a focus on its key brands, particularly Tim Hortons and Burger King, although competition remains fierce in the fast-food sector. The company's recent performance has been mixed, with some analysts noting a decent quarter while others highlight ongoing challenges such as rising beef prices and inflation impacting consumer spending. Despite concerns about the consumer landscape, experts are optimistic about free cash flow potential as investments to revamp Burger King wind down. Tim's continues to perform well, and the company aims to increase its store count and franchise ratio. However, investors are cautious due to high debt and previous missed earnings targets, leading to a generally tempered outlook on growth even as some view QSR as a safe long-term investment.

Valuation

Fair Value

MCD, MCD

BUY

High quality. Recognizable brands. Stream of revenue from franchisees. Efficient management team, not afraid of innovation. A lot is riding on the new CEO. Pricing power. 30% ROE. 20x earnings. If price dropped to $90, buy more aggressively. Yield is 3%.

TOP PICK

It has a new CEO who did very well with Dominoes. The franchises are now much better run. There are good changes at Tim Horton's, Burger King has a big ad campaign, and Popeye's is growing very fast. It is trading at 2/3 of the multiple of other fast food chains. Yes there are higher labour costs but it is a high margin business and recession resistant. He feels it is cheap because of past problems and has a big upside. In general people are now spending lots of money dining out. Buy 15 Hold 15 Sell 1

(Analysts’ price target is $104.95)

DON'T BUY

It has done well, but the valuation is not compelling. Shares are always too high for him. Yes, Restaurant is picking up after Covid, but consumers are cutting back on discretionary purchases like coffee.

DON'T BUY

QSR vs. BCE

He'd take BCE in a heartbeat from a safety aspect. Better yield, cheaper valuation, growth is tied to the economy. QSR has done a good job with its divisions, though Tim's has been a challenge. Profits are now being squeezed pretty dramatically. He's nervous on consumer stocks.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Does not own shares. New CEO will be interesting to watch. Very strong franchises in Tim Hortons/Burger King etc. Pandemic tough on business. Strong balance sheet.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Great business with international presence. $35 billion in sales last year creates very strong momentum. New management team will help stoke the prospects of the company.

TOP PICK

Embarrassingly bad job with Tim's and Burger King, but now sees progress. Popeye's expansion is unbelievable. Just hired the former CEO of Domino's Pizza, a terrific and capable guy. Great real estate, good products. Tim's will not be the driver internationally, it'll be the other brands. Very good at building out franchises, cheap to enter. Yield is 3.28%. (Analysts’ price target is $90.34)

COMMENT

It was a good re-opening play and then fell flat. There are some challenges in the industry with labour shortages, cost pressures and shorter opening hours for restaurants. His advice is to take some profits and don't re-invest in the sector.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 01/21, Up 4%) This was a reopening buy, anticipating restaurants opening up. QSR stumbled with Burger King though; there's a management change now. He sold this in August.

SELL

Struggling with core Timmie's franchise in Canada. Limited inroads in US. Tim's accounts for around 40% of EBITDA operating profit. Not much menu innovation. Traffic hasn't recovered to pre-Covid levels. Interest rate hikes dampen fire power for further acquisitions. Don't buy.

DON'T BUY

Needs vs. wants. Tim's is the vulnerability at 40% of the operating profit, and 25% below pre-Covid. Many people are not back in the office. Popeye's has plateaued. Challenging macro backdrop.

BUY

Long-term investment or value trap? Value trap recently, despite earnings improving. Not immune from food and labour inflation. Continues to build out its business. Earnings are growing, attractive valuation, time to sharpen your pencil. If one segment's down, another buoys it up. Yield is 4%.

DON'T BUY

Tim's is still restructuring. Stock looks a bit rough. 200-day MA moving down, share price down too. Oversold, with RSI below 30. Expects a short-term bounce. It will take time to get outsized returns. Wage and labour pressures. He's not interested in this name, and the industry is cautious. Nice dividend of about 4%, secure.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Good recovery potential as restrictions ease. Has strong cash flow and has a focus on their large brands (eg. Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes). Could acquire other strong restaurant brands in the future. 14x EV to EBITDA. Good dividend. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

He bought it last fall, a top pick. It's a reopening stock, so this should grow. There's a decent base building which is good going forward. But energy instead? No. Prefers QSR instead of buying energy at current highs.
