Restaurant Brands International (TSX:QSR, NYSE:QSR) has received an improved sales outlook from Jefferies, which raised its forecast for Burger King's US same-store sales growth in the third quarter to 6.5% from 5%, as the fast-food chain's turnaround gains traction. The broker said customer footfall had remained relatively steady after Burger King delivered 8.5% comparable sales growth in the second quarter, supporting expectations that momentum could extend into 2027.
McDonald's is battling QSR rivals with sharper value efforts, but execution gaps and weak traffic show the fight is far from over.
Four fast food brands under one roof sounds like a safety net, but Tim Hortons carries so much of the weight that a slowdown in Canada could test a dividend that has never once been cut.
