What Is Restaurant Brands International Worth?

Restaurant Brands International appears to be overvalued by 23% at the moment, based on our discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at US$69.93 on the market compared to our intrinsic value of $56.87. Not the best news for investors looking to buy!

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in QSR’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe QSR should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable.
