Buybacks and EPS Growth Strengthens Restaurant Brands International’s (QSR) Upside
Pershing Square Holdings, an investment firm, highlighted Restaurant Brands International Inc. (QSR) in its Q2 2026 investor letter. The company, known for its fast food portfolio, operates through Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Firehouse Subs, and others. Restaurant Brands International Inc. closed at $76.56 per share on August 18, 2026, with a 1% quarterly decline but an 8% gain year-to-date.
Pershing Square believes investors are recognizing the brand's growth potential and capital return program. The company's largest divisions, Burger King and International, are exceeding peers' performance. Restaurant Brands International Inc. aims for an 8% operating profit growth in 2026, meeting its long-term targets. The firm sees a potential mid-teens total return, considering its current valuation at 17 times earnings, which is below its perceived intrinsic value.
Despite holding QSR, only 31 of 40 most popular stocks among hedge funds are expected to outperform in 2026, according to Pershing Square.
