Restaurant Brands International gets lift from Burger King turnaround

Restaurant Brands International (TSX:QSR, NYSE:QSR) has received an improved sales outlook from Jefferies, which raised its forecast for Burger King's US same-store sales growth in the third quarter to 6.5% from 5%, as the fast-food chain's turnaround gains traction. The broker said customer footfall had remained relatively steady after Burger King delivered 8.5% comparable sales growth in the second quarter, supporting expectations that momentum could extend into 2027.
