QSR EV/EBITDA Analysis

The EV/EBITDA ratio of 14.6x compares a company's total value—including debt and equity—to its operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

This sits above the sector median of 13.9x, placing QSR at the 55th percentile among peers, meaning it is slightly more expensive than over half of them. The trend is stable, with a year-over-year change of -0.6% and a quarter-over-quarter change of -0.8%, indicating the multiple has held near 14.6x over the last eight reported quarters. A level moderately above the median combined with no upward or downward movement implies limited valuation risk, but also no emerging discount or growth re-rating. This combination supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the stock is not cheap relative to peers and shows no momentum toward improved valuation.
