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.

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.

BUY

Turnaround at Tim's seems complete. A reopening and turnaround play. Very cheap compared to competitors. Facing labour shortages and inflation. Back to pre-pandemic levels. Very reasonable value.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Lockdowns and downgrades have pushed QSR shares down to attractive PE levels, currently 23x compared to 33x at the end of 2020 and 27.78x at the end of last September. QSR currently trades hands at $71, which is below both its 50- and 200-day moving averages. Meanwhile, QSR pays a 3.79% dividend, though based on a high 87% payout ratio. That's a little concerning, but not a red flag. Read 3 Promising Reopening Stocks 2022 for our full analysis.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Likes it at these levels. Has a strong market position and international expansion will be positive in the long term. Shares are trading at historical lows. Debt is 6x cashflow so a little high, but manageable. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

Unspecified

Believes company is a good company, however not exceptional. Problems with franchise owners. Company will be around for a long time and is predictable. Type of company that could be valued if educated on products.

BUY

Disappointing. Wage inflation, Tim's and Burger King issues, Covid, indebted. Bull case is acquisition of Firehouse Subs, with chance to grow globally. Other brands can grow globally with menu innovation, signage. Anemic valuation for growth rate. Nice dividend. At current levels, sell puts. Buy under $70. Stock probably doubles in next 5 years.

SHORT

Price momentum has not been great. Valuation has gotten a little cheaper. Still in the middle of the pack. Good return on equity with 20x price to earnings. Fair amount of debt. 18x EBITDA. Struggled in some ways. Buying companies and stripping out cost does not always result in the best customer experience. Need to show that they are able to perform.

DON'T BUY

Under pressure. Well below 200-day MA, and trend lines are negative. Perhaps a value opportunity, now with the pandemic easing. He's not ready to jump in yet. Not sure that Tim's is out of its rough tumble. Yield is 3.6%.

TOP PICK

It took a beating but as we re-open, he thinks opening of dining rooms will bring back pent-up demand. The street has beaten the name up beyond where the fundamentals suggest. He thinks we will see a turn-around in this name. (Analysts’ price target is $87.29)
