Shares of Restaurant Brands International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>) continued to slide in early trading on Wednesday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41742557/burger-king-parent-restaurant-brands-stock-slips-on-q3-earnings-miss-on-track-to-deliver-8-system-w">downbeat third-quarter earnings</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
RBC Capital Markets On Restaurant Brands International
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6645dc02eba8c50001257ef4/logan-reich">Analyst Logan Reich</a> maintained an Outperform rating, while reducing the price target from $95 to $90.
Restaurant Brands International's third-quarter revenues and EBITDA missed consensus by 2.5% and 1.2%, respectively, Reich said in a note. The company's revenue shortfall was due to lower same-store sales "across every brand," he added.
Same-store sales trends improved in October, driven by Burger King, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and the international segment, with consumer pressures "abating to some degree," the analyst stated. "Further, the company continues to demonstrate their ability to manage expenses in a challenging macro which could give investors confidence in some level of earnings support next year even if macro is worse than expected," he wrote.

KeyBanc Capital Markets On Restaurant Brands International
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58e64302b85e9300014c97e6/eric-gonzalez">Analyst Eric Gonzalez</a> reaffirmed an Overweight rating, while cutting the price target from $80 to $78.
Restaurant Brands International results missed consensus on macro pressures and competitive challenges, Gonzalez said. Management lowered full-year outlook for systemwide sales to 5%-5.5% and unit growth to around 3.5%, he added.
"However, it continues to see 8% + adj. operating income growth and reaffirmed its five-year outlook, including 8%+ systemwide sales growth and 5% unit growth on average through 2028," the analyst wrote. He added that same-store sales improved across the portfolio in October, from around flat to the low single-digit range.
QSR Price Action: Shares of Restaurant Brands International were flat at $68.17 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Earnings Misses

Restaurant Brands Intl Q3 2024 Adj. EPS $0.93 Misses $0.95 Estimate, Sales $2.291B Miss $2.307B Estimate

The U.S. copyright office has granted an exemption allowing third-party repairs of the frequently malfunctioning ice cream machines at McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>).
What Happened: Last week, the U.S. copyright office gave the green light to&nbsp;third parties to diagnose and&nbsp;repair commercial equipment, including McDonald&#8217;s notorious ice cream machines.
This decision enables franchise owners to circumvent the digital locks that previously barred them from fixing the machines themselves.
The exemption is a part of the Copyright Office&#8217;s final rule granting exceptions&nbsp;to Section 1201 of the&nbsp;Digital Millennium Copyright Act or DMCA. The law had earlier forbidden&nbsp;anyone other than the manufacturer,&nbsp; from bypassing its software&nbsp;locks.

However, following a machine teardown last year, iFixit and Public Knowledge filed for an exemption, which received support from&nbsp;the Federal Trade Commission and&nbsp;Department of Justice.
While the decision does not fully cover the request for an exemption for a broader range of commercial and industrial equipment, it does address the issue with McDonald&#8217;s ice cream machines.
The exemption will officially come&nbsp;into effect on Oct. 28.
Why It Matters: This development comes at a time when McDonald&#8217;s has been grappling with other issues. The fast-food giant recently faced an&nbsp;E. Coli scare&nbsp;linked to its Quarter Pounder burgers, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41468120/mcdonalds-stock-drops-after-cdc-identifies-e-coli-outbreak-linked-to-quarter-pounders">led to a drop in its stock</a>.
As a result, McDonald&#8217;s and its rivals, including&nbsp;Restaurant Brands International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Yum Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>),&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41535638/mcdonalds-rivals-burger-king-yum-brands-remove-onions-from-menus-amid-quarter-pounder-e-coli-scare">removed onions</a>&nbsp;from their menus.
However, McDonald&#8217;s has now announced that its&nbsp;Quarter Pounders are making a comeback&nbsp;after beef was ruled out as the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41565765/mcdonalds-quarter-pounders-to-make-a-comeback-after-beef-ruled-out-as-main-culprit-in-e-coli-sca"> main culprit in the E.Coli scare</a>.
The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, had also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41527681/fda-launches-investigation-into-mcdonalds-supplier-taylor-farms-following-e-coli-outbreak">launched an&nbsp;investigation</a>&nbsp;into McDonald&#8217;s supplier, Taylor Farms, following the outbreak.
The outbreak has been linked to 49 reported cases of E. coli, leading to 10 hospitalizations and one fatality.

McDonald's Broken Ice Cream Machines Can Finally Be Fixed As New Copyright Exemption Allows 3rd Party Repairs

In response to an E. coli outbreak associated with fresh onions, leading U.S. fast-food chains including McDonald&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), Restaurant Brands International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>), and Yum Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>) have decided to remove the vegetable from their menus. The outbreak has reportedly caused 49 illnesses and one fatality.
What Happened: As reported by Reuters, the parent company of Burger King, Restaurant Brands International, and Yum Brands have also decided to eliminate fresh onions from their offerings. A spokesperson confirmed that about 5% of Burger King outlets have already implemented this change.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve been told by corporate to not use any onions going forward for the foreseeable future,&#8221; said Maria Gonzales, a manager at a Longmont, Colorado Burger KIng, according to the report.
McDonald&#8217;s identified Taylor Farms as the source of the contaminated onions, which have now been recalled. Yellow onions from a Colorado facility have been recalled, according to a memo by US Foods (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USFD#NYSE">USFD</a>), a major U.S. food service supplier.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that Taylor Farms, the supplier for the impacted McDonald&#8217;s locations, has started a recall. The health regulator is working with both federal and state authorities and the companies to establish if onions led to the outbreak.

Why It Matters: This outbreak follows a recent report of E. coli cases linked to McDonald&#8217;s hamburgers, which led to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41494285/mcdonalds-stock-is-tumbling-wednesday-heres-why">drop in the company&#8217;s shares</a>. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control announced that 49 cases of E. coli were detected across 10 states, with the majority of sick people reporting eating Quarter Pounder hamburgers from McDonald&#8217;s.
The FDA has launched an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41527681/fda-launches-investigation-into-mcdonalds-supplier-taylor-farms-following-e-coli-outbreak">investigation</a> into Taylor Farms, the supplier of McDonald&#8217;s, after multiple people fell ill with E. coli linked to the restaurant chain&#8217;s Quarter Pounder. The FDA currently believes slivered onions served on McDonald's hamburgers are the most likely source of contamination.
Despite the outbreak, analysts had previously stated that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41494741/mcdonalds-well-positioned-to-contain-e-coli-outbreak-analysts-say-impact-minimal-co">impact on McDonald&#8217;s stock</a> would be minimal. However, David Tarantino, an analyst at Baird Equity Research, downgraded McDonald&#8217;s shares to &#8220;neutral&#8221; late on Wednesday due to concerns over consumer sentiment.
Price Action: On Thursday, McDonald&#8217;s stock traded 1% higher at $301.58 in the regular session and was largely flat in the after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent102224&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

The world&#39;s largest retailer, company, and employer, Walmart Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wmt#NYSE">WMT</a>), continues to defy gravity as its stock keeps floating higher, rising 54% year-to-date (YTD). Even after the 3 for 1 stock split on Feb. 26, 2024, shares climbed an additional 52%. The company demonstrates the power of scale as the nation&#39;s largest importer of goods. Walmart is also making headway in China as it gains market share against its incumbent retail leaders. While firing on all cylinders, Walmart continues to grow, indicating more upside.
Walmart operates in the retail/wholesale sector, competing with retailers like Target Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tgt#NYSE">TGT</a>), Costco Wholesale Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cost#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Amazon.com Inc.
<h2>Defying Gravity As the U.S. Dollar Spikes </h2>
In a high interest rate environment, the U.S. dollar tends to stay strong, which hurts companies selling goods and services overseas, as reflected in their earnings reports as FX or currency headwinds. Falling interest rates tend to weaken the dollar, enabling other currencies to have more purchasing power for U.S. goods and services. However, since the&nbsp;Fed&#39;s 50 bps&nbsp;interest rate cut, the U.S. dollar index has recovered from a low of $99.866 to surge up to $102.223.
As the nation&#39;s largest importer of goods, Walmart is one of the major companies that has benefited from a strong U.S. dollar. For Walmart, a rising dollar counts as a currency tailwind. Its buying power grows, enabling it to buy more goods overseas for less money (in U.S. dollars). The jump in the U.S. dollar index has pushed Walmart shares back up near its all-time high. The spike in the U.S. dollar is a net positive for Walmart&#39;s gross margins.
<h2>Challenging the Incumbents in China </h2>
Walmart grew sales in China by 17.7% YoY in its second quarter of 2024. Its Sam&#39;s Club warehouse business saw membership income rise by 26% YoY. Nearly 50% of Walmart&#39;s sales in China come from its e-commerce and digital sales channels. While Walmart is an American company, it&#39;s been successful in locally sourced goods. Its success has been so solid that it&#39;s doubling down focus on its China operations as indicated by dumping its investment in JD.com Inc., selling its 144.5 million share stake for around $3.7 billion on Aug. 21, 2024, which it&#39;s held since 2016. It sold shares for an average of $24.95, a little over a month before JD.com shares nearly doubled in anticipation of China&#39;s stimulus package.
<h2>Taking a Page From Amazon Prime Membership Services </h2>
Taking a page out of Amazon Prime membership services, Walmart has been growing its Walmart+ membership program. For $12.95 per month or $98 per year, Walmart+ members get free shipping with no minimum orders (like Prime), which includes free grocery delivery. Members get free Paramount Global (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/para#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) Paramount+ streaming services with ads and up to 10 cents per gallon discount on gas at Walmart, Sam&#39;s Club, Murphy&#39;s, and Exxon Mobil Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xom#NYSE">XOM</a>).
Walmart+ members get early access to promotions like Black Friday deals, travel benefits, cash-back rewards, and member price discounts on groceries and prescriptions. Members can now get dining benefits at Burger King, owned by Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qsr#NYSE">QSR</a>), like 25% off digital orders and a free Whopper every quarter with any purchase. It also has additional discounts and promotions with companies from Peloton Interactive Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pton#NASDAQ">PTON</a>) to NOOM and a 30% discount on home projects at Angi Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/angi#NASDAQ">ANGI</a>).
<h2>Walmart Grew Comp Sales 4.2% in Its Second-Quarter of 2024</h2>
In its Q2 2024 earnings report, Walmart reported earnings of 67 cents per share, beating consensus analyst estimates by 2 cents. Revenues rose 4.7% YoY to $169.3 billion versus $168.56 billion consensus estimates. Walmart&#39;s U.S. comp sales rose an impressive 4.2% YoY. Global advertising grew 26% YoY, including 30% growth for Walmart Connect. Consolidated gross margins rose 43 bps. Walmart+ membership income grew 23% YoY, and Walmart+ memberships rose by double-digits.
Its e-commerce sales rose 22% YoY, driven by store-fulfilled pickup and delivery. Global inventories fell 2% YoY and 2.9% for U.S. Walmart inventory with health in-stock levels. Market shares grew in general merchandise, while transaction counts and unit volume rose across all markets. Grocery sales are strong, and there is no evidence of consumer weakness.
<h2>Walmart Raises Full-Year Guidance&nbsp; </h2>
The company expects Q3 2024 EPS between 51 and 52 cents versus 55 cents consensus estimates. Revenues are expected between $166.03 billion and $167.05 billion versus $167.05 billion. Full-year 2024 EPS was raised to $2.35 to $2.43, up from $2.23 to $2.37, versus $2.44 consensus estimates. Full-year 2024 revenue is expected to be between $672.43 billion and $678.91 billion versus the consensus estimates of $676.53 billion.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillan commented, &quot;Our e-commerce progress creates more optionality for our customers and fuels the growth of our newer businesses. Globally, membership income grew 23%. Walmart Plus memberships were up double-digits. And Sam&#39;s Club U.S. achieved a record-high member count. Globally, advertising grew 26%, including 30% growth for Walmart Connect in the U.S. Advertising sales driven by marketplace sellers were up nearly 50%.&quot;
<h2>WMT Stock Forms an Ascending Triangle Pattern </h2>
An ascending triangle pattern is comprised of a flat-top upper trendline resistance conversing with an ascending lower trendline meeting at the apex point. A breakout forms when the stock rises through the upper trendline, and a breakdown forms if the stock collapses through the lower trendline.
<img alt="Walmart WMT stock chart" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20241006193318_charta-wmt.jpg" style="height:750px; width:915px" />
WMT gapped to $72.78 on its strong earning report and rose to a flat top resistance at $81.53. The ascending lower trendline formed at $77.89 and has continued to increase due to higher lows on pullbacks. The daily anchored VWAP support is at $78.06.The daily RSI has been choppy sideways at the 63-band. Fibonacci (Fib) pullback support levels are at $79.12, $74.75, $71.29, and $68.57.
Walmart&#39;s average consensus price target is $81.62, and its highest analyst price target sits at $98.00. It has 29 analysts&#39; Buy ratings and one Hold rating. The stock trades at 33.17x forward earnings.
Actionable Options Strategies: Bullish investors can consider using cash-secured puts to buy WMT at the fib pullback support levels for entry and write covered calls to execute a wheel strategy for income in addition to the 1.03% annual dividend yield.
