Positive sides
- The market of fast food restaurants is growing by more than 4% per year and will reach more than $690 billion by 2022 according to Zion Market Research.
- Due to the possibility of serving guests from the car, some of the company’s restaurants suffered less than the classic business models.
- In our opinion, after the quarantine is lifted, the fast food restaurant market will recover faster than the classic restaurant business, due to a decrease in real incomes.
- Over the past year, the company showed a 5.1% increase in profits compared to an average growth of 1.6% in the industry.
- In the current situation of economic uncertainty, an important indicator is the current ratio. It allows you to determine the ability of the company to pay for its short-term obligations. Restaurant Brands International has this indicator at 1.29, that is, liquid assets cover 29% of short-term liabilities.
