While the social flames and games raged on Twitter about where and how to spend money on chicken sandwiches, an investment thesis was notably absent from the debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restaurant Brands International (QSR) owns Popeyes Chicken after buying the chicken chain in February, 2017. At the time, the chain was a publicly traded company under the name Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen (PLKI). The purchase sent the shares of both companies soaring. I was able to close out <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2017\/02\/21\/qsr-picks-popeyes-leaves-el-pollo-loco-last-chicken-standing\/\">a profitable trade on the rumors that preceded the deal<\/a>. Restaurant Brands International, which also owns Burger King and Tim Horton&#8217;s, paid a hefty premium for Popeyes, and the company&#8217;s stock flopped around between $50 per share and $68 per share for two years. QSR finally broke out for good in June and currently still trades at an <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2019\/06\/24\/an-all-time-high-defines-history-not-the-future\/\">all-time high<\/a>. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.popeyes.com\/our-story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Popeyes story on the chain's website (opens in a new tab)\">The Popeyes story on the chain&#8217;s website<\/a> surprisingly ends at 2015 at the time of writing.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/190830_QSR.png\" alt=\"Restaurant Brands International (QSR) is riding a somewhat choppy trend to all-time highs.\" class=\"wp-image-49721\"\/><figcaption>Restaurant Brands International (QSR) is riding a somewhat choppy trend to all-time highs.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Investing in Chicken Sandwiches<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chik-Fil-A is not a publicly traded company, so is investing in QSR a good deal? Is the stock worth the 20 chicken sandwiches it costs for each share? The choppy trading history of QSR suggests that patience is warranted and buying on a dip is best. The valuation story also calls out for patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Yahoo Finance (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/QSR\/key-statistics?p=QSR\" target=\"_blank\">Yahoo Finance<\/a>, QSR has a very high valuation: 35.0 trailing price\/earnings, 3.7 price\/sales, and 10.8 price\/book. These metrics approximately mean that the stock market thinks QSR is worth $35 per $1 of earnings, $3.70 per each $1 of sales, and a whopping $10.80 per $1 of book value (think the value of all the assets QSR owns). These are high numbers although they look &#8220;decent&#8221; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"compared to McDonald's (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/MCD\/key-statistics?p=MCD\" target=\"_blank\">compared to McDonald&#8217;s<\/a>, for example. Still, there is a lot of skepticism about QSR&#8217;s valuation. Bears, an affectionate term for traders who bet on the decline in value of a stock, are swarming all over QSR with 12.9% of the float sold short. (The float is all the shares available to trade in the stock market).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restaurant Brands International <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"last reported earnings for its second quarter on August 2nd (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4280801-restaurant-brands-international-inc-qsr-ceo-jose-cil-q2-2019-results-earnings-call-transcript\" target=\"_blank\">last reported earnings for its second quarter on August 2nd<\/a>, well ahead of the official launch of the chicken sandwich marketing campaign. Investors should carefully review the next earnings report (tentatively scheduled for October 24, 2019). for evidence that the frenzy caused by the chicken sandwich campaign caused a material impact on financial results, especially since Popeyes results for the second quarter were just lukewarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popeyes was 12% of Restaurant Brands International&#8217;s system-wide sales in the second quarter (Q2) which exactly matches its total share of restaurants. Yet Popeyes is only 7.1% of total adjusted <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/ebitda?s=t\" target=\"_blank\">EBITDA<\/a> (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization). Popeyes year-over-year sales growth slowed  from 10.7% in Q2 2018 to 7.9% in Q2 2019. Restaurant growth also slowed, going from 7.5% to 6.1%. The one saving grace is that Popeyes was at least flat in same-store sales (comparable sales)  growth: 2.9% in last year&#8217;s Q2 and 3.0% in this year&#8217;s Q2. Adjusted <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"EBITDA (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/ebitda?s=t\" target=\"_blank\">EBITDA<\/a> was also flattish increasing slightly from $40M to $41M (+2.5%). Compare these numbers to year-over-year overall growth numbers for Restaurant Brands International: 4.2% in total revenues and 3.2% in EBITDA. The company also grew adjusted diluted earnings per share by 7.6%. In other words, Popeyes is not quite carrying its weight for Restaurant Brands International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some highlights of the commentary on Popeyes from Restaurant Brands during the conference call for discussing the earnings results (from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"the Seeking Alpha transcript (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4280801-restaurant-brands-international-inc-qsr-ceo-jose-cil-q2-2019-results-earnings-call-transcript\" target=\"_blank\">the Seeking Alpha transcript<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8220;&#8230;in the boneless chicken category, we have some strong limited time offers in the quarter, including our Hot Honey Crunch Tenders. We also benefited from the rollout of our delicious new chicken sandwich across several new markets.&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;As a result of encouraging initial results, we have significantly expanded availability in recent weeks and we continue to see a favorable response from our guests with positive incremental sales.&#8221; (Note well that Restaurant Brands rolled out the chicken sandwich very &#8220;quietly&#8221; for many weeks before deciding to launch a full-blown marketing frenzy).<\/li><li>&#8220;This should put us in a position to rollout the sandwich to the remaining Popeyes stores in the US in the coming months with national media support.&#8221; (Those of you distraught about the chicken sandwich sell-out, be encouraged! Popeyes fully intends to stock up!)<\/li><li>The company saw encouraging results from introducing delivery in Q2, so you can look forward to wider availability of the service. No more waiting in line, just wait from the comfort of home or work! Restaurant Brands is in the process of upgrading systems in Popeyes; the work is 2\/3 finished and scheduled to complete in a few months.<\/li><li>Popeyes is taking on significant international risk. QSR is pushing Popeyes into China and Turkey. U.S. Relations with both countries have been quite strained over the past 18 months or more. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2019\/08\/28\/trade-war-realities-weigh-more-heavily\/\">the U.S. and China are in the middle of an escalating trade war<\/a>. I am much more comfortable with Popeyes&#8217;s push into Spain. If Popeyes is successful in this international push, then QSR becomes a lot more interesting as an investment.<\/li><li>Rolling out a good chicken sandwich is not easy. Burger King fell short on volume expectations with its &#8220;value chicken sandwich.&#8221;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So overall, I am not eager to buy shares in QSR. However, I do want to buy into the next dips&#8230;assuming they come. I like buying QSR starting around $75 as that price is close to where the company issued more shares in what is called a &#8220;secondary&#8221; offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Chicken Sandwich Hype<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The hype in social media over the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich was intense. The frenzy was masterfully cultivated by Popeyes with select and targeted tweets.
