As of Jun 19, 2026. Market Open.
Large portfolio of defensive brand names (Burger King, Tim Hortons). Large cap with lots of liquidity in stock. Current share price presenting good buying opportunity. Trading at cheaper valuation than USA peers. Expecting growth in same store sales, revenues and cash flow. Good investment for long term holders.
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)
He owns it. Given what is happening with the franchisees and with minimum wages you want to be patient with this name. Longer term is a great franchise. Valuation is pretty decent trading 21 times earnings with a 15% expected growth rate. Good brands underneath the umbrella (Tim’s, Burger King, etc.). In the meantime, you get a 3.3% dividend yield which is not bad given where rates are in Canada.
