Open QSR Financials →How QSR trades — the working manual
Restaurant Brands franchises Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes and Firehouse Subs, earning royalties and fees on system sales rather than operating most restaurants itself. For the stock, comparable sales and net restaurant growth drive royalties, while the company's partnership structure means a meaningful share of profit belongs to exchangeable unitholders.
What can move the tape
- 01Comparable sales by brand and geography, and traffic versus average check.
- 02Net restaurant growth, development pipeline and international expansion.
- 03Franchisee profitability, which determines whether the development pipeline is fundable.
- 04System-wide sales conversion into royalties, and the mix of refranchised versus company restaurants.
What can fool the read
- 01Reported net income splits between common shareholders and exchangeable partnership units; the totals differ materially.
- 02Franchisee margin pressure can slow unit growth even when brand-level demand holds.
- 03Value-menu competition and promotional intensity can trade traffic against check.
- 04Currency and country risk travel with an international, franchised footprint.

QSR stock questions
Is QSR stock in an uptrend?+
QSR is classified in the “established uptrend” regime as of 2026-08-21: the close is +8.5% from its 50-day average and +11.0% from its 200-day average. This describes the current tape. It is not a forecast.
What does unusual options activity in QSR mean?+
QSR has not appeared in either issuer-level top-30 list during the current archive. A future flag would identify an OTM chain outlier relative to the scanner universe. It would identify no buyer, seller, institution or spread leg.
Are the QSR 13F holdings current?+
No. 13F filings are delayed quarter-end snapshots and cover only the curated managers in this project. They are useful for documented ownership changes, not real-time positioning or complete institutional ownership.
Where are QSR's income statement and cash flow?+
The dedicated QSR Financials page contains the full quarterly and annual income statement, balance sheet and cash-flow history parsed from SEC EDGAR XBRL. This stock page carries only the latest filed snapshot.
Why is there no QSR earnings-move base rate yet?+
The committed earnings archive does not yet contain enough reported events for a defensible company-level reaction study. The page leaves that block unpublished instead of presenting a tiny sample as a reliable base rate.
