Restaurant Brands Beats Expectations, Boosts Burger King

Restaurant Brands International exceeded expectations in Q1 2026 with adjusted earnings of $0.86 per share and revenue of $2.26 billion, surpassing analyst predictions of $0.82 per share and $2.24 billion. The strong performance was driven by Burger Kings U.S. turnaround and international growth. Burger King U.S. saw a 5.8% increase in same-store sales and a 5.5% rise in system-wide sales. However, Tim Hortons and Popeyes underperformed, with comparable sales up 1.6% and down 6.5% respectively. The company plans to continue investing in Burger King remodels and upgrades, and is resuming share buybacks with a goal of $500 million this year.
