What's the opportunity in Restaurant Brands New Zealand?

The share price seems sensible at the moment according to my price multiple model, where I compare the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. I find that Restaurant Brands New Zealand’s ratio of 28.21x is trading slightly above its industry peers’ ratio of 24.65x, which means if you buy Restaurant Brands New Zealand today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe Restaurant Brands New Zealand should be trading in this range, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond the levels of other industry peers over the long-term. In addition to this, it seems like Restaurant Brands New Zealand’s share price is quite stable, which could mean there may be less chances to buy low in the future now that it’s trading around the price multiples of other industry peers. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.
