Restaurant Brands International Inc. (ISIN CA76131D1033) reported USD 2.52 billion in Q2/2026 revenue, up 4.60 percent year over year, according to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026. The latest analyst signal is more cautious: Investing.com reported an Argus downgrade from Buy to Hold on September 25, 2026.

Q2 earnings beat estimates

Restaurant Brands International delivered adjusted EPS of USD 1.07 in Q2/2026, exceeding the USD 1.04 consensus by USD 0.03, according to MarketBeat. The result was also above the USD 0.94 adjusted EPS reported for the same period a year earlier, while revenue rose 4.60 percent to USD 2.52 billion.

The earnings mix gives investors two different signals. Revenue growth remained positive, but the Argus downgrade cited higher commodity costs, weaker comparable sales at Popeyes and slower sales at Tim Hortons as reasons for reducing its view.

Analysts see upside and risk

MarketBeat said 23 analysts carried a consensus Moderate Buy rating on September 22, 2026, with 16 Buy ratings and seven Holds. The average 12-month target was USD 84.04, while the same report listed a market capitalization of USD 25.3 billion and a 52-week range of USD 63.43 to USD 81.96.

Argus also pointed to the contrast between Burger King's improvement and weaker trends at other brands. That split matters because Restaurant Brands International operates a franchise-heavy portfolio spanning Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes and Firehouse Subs.

Q3 results are due October 29

Restaurant Brands International plans to release Q3/2026 results on October 29, 2026, and hold its investor call at 8:30 a.m. ET, according to the company's official release dated September 15, 2026. The next report will show whether Burger King's strength can offset the pressure identified at Popeyes and Tim Hortons.

Restaurant Brands International stock had a market capitalization of USD 24.7 billion as of September 30, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 64.17 to USD 81.96, giving the upcoming October report a clear test of earnings momentum and brand-level execution.
