The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Aug. 8, edition that RBC Capital Markets analyst Logan Reich has reaffirmed his "outperform" ranking for Restaurant Brands International. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Reich gave his share target a $3 trim to $77 (all figures U.S.). Analysts on average target the shares at $76.87. Mr. Reich saw Restaurant Brands' second quarter report as "mixed" with a difficult macroeconomic backdrop threatening to further weigh on the parent company of Tim Hortons and Burger King. Mr. Reich says in a note: "Positively, Tim Hortons SSS [same-store sales] beat with strength across dayparts, Burger King China trends are improving, and total international segment was above Street expectations. Less positively, investor consternation around a slowing U.S. consumer and intense competition impacting Burger King U.S. is unlikely to abate where the segment has been an outsized driver of the stock relative to its contribution to profitability. While somewhat out of the company's control, further consumer slowdown could result in SSS downside and/or share loss." Quarterly revenue of $2.41-billion (U.S.), beat analysts estimates of $2.32-billion (U.S.).
