Following the company’s mixed Q2 performance, Scotiabank reduced its price target on Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE:QSR) from $75 to $71 on August 8, 2025, maintaining a ‘Sector Perform’ rating. The analyst attributed the price revision to risks from soft U.S. consumer trends, potential weakness in net restaurant growth, Burger King’s EBITDA challenges, and Popeyes’ market share pressure.

On the same day, RBC Capital also decreased its price target on Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE:QSR) from $80 to $77, maintaining an ‘Outperform’ rating. Despite the target cut, the analyst expressed confidence in Tim Hortons, which surpassed same-store sales expectations, as well as growing momentum at Burger King China and outperformance in the International segment. The company’s revenue experienced a 22.4% growth over the past twelve months, while maintaining its dividend growth policy – 10 consecutive annual increases, yielding 3.8%. At the same time, the analyst expressed concern over Burger King’s U.S. operations, which could experience pressure in its same-store sales due to a slowing consumer backdrop.
