Restaurant Brands International ( (QSR) ) just unveiled an update.

Restaurant Brands International reported 5.8% system-wide sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 5.3% for the full year, with comparable sales up 3.1% in the quarter and strength in its international and Tim Hortons Canada businesses. Full-year revenue rose to $9.4 billion and organic adjusted operating income grew 8.3%, even as GAAP income from operations and net income declined year over year.

The company delivered its third consecutive year of roughly 8% organic adjusted operating income growth, met its 2025 targets for organic AOI expansion and net leverage, and returned about $1.1 billion to shareholders while continuing to invest for growth. RBI also integrated new assets into its Restaurant Holdings segment, reflecting acquisitions of Carrols and Popeyes China and positioning these company-operated units for eventual refranchising as part of its long-term franchisor-focused strategy.

The most recent analyst rating on (QSR) stock is a Buy with a $86.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Restaurant Brands International stock, see the QSR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on QSR Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, QSR is a Outperform.

Restaurant Brands International’s strong earnings call performance and positive technical indicators are the most significant factors driving the score. Financial performance shows operational efficiency but highlights profitability challenges. Valuation concerns are mitigated by a solid dividend yield. The strategic joint venture in China supports long-term growth prospects.
