- Thursday, May 16, 11:14 AM Burger King (BKW -0.8%) plans to introduce a BK Rib Sandwich this summer as well as pulled pork and other BBQ sandwich offerings at selection locations. The move is an obvious attempt to steal some of McDonald's thunder over its celebrated McRib launches, but priced at $3.49 per sandwich it cuts against the grain in an increasingly value-oriented sector. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, May 3, 11:24 AM More on Taco Bell (previous): The mysterious roll-out of a new "low-end" menu is based on a strategy of offering items at the $1 price point. Execs say the Cravings menu will make sure the restaurant chain is taking care of the value-oriented consumers. QSR sector watch: The focus on the magical $1 mark by Taco Bell (YUM +1.4%) could add a little more pressure to peers such as McDonald's (MCD +0.8%), Wendy's (WEN +2.1%), and Burger King (BKW +2.2%) which have been running down a dual path of competing on value while also trying to entire consumers away from Panera Bread and Chipotle with fresher offerings. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, April 29, 2:27 PM McDonald's (MCD +1.5%) and Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN +0.4%) are leading a pack of restaurant chains that are extending hours of operation in order to help pump up revenue. In some cases, the plan is pitting some companies against their own franchisees that are somewhat convinced the wee midnight to early breakfast hours aren't unprofitable. Analysts say it depends on the brand. What works for Taco Bell, Denny's, or White Castle might not work for the sector as a whole. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, April 26, 8:11 AM More on Burger King's (BKW) Q1: Cost cuts help the company top bottom line expectations as total operating costs and expenses plunge 54%. A "challenging economic and competitive environment" led to negative comparable store sales growth worldwide (not surprising really, given MCD's results). Comps were -1.4% during the quarter overall, owing to weakness in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America. This, combined with "global refranchising transactions," led to a 42% Y/Y decline in revenues. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
- Friday, April 26, 7:08 AM Burger King (BKW): Q1 EPS of $0.17 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $327.7M (-42.5% Y/Y) beats by $9.03M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

- Friday, April 12, 9:51 AM Restaurant sales trends improved in March but remain "fragile," according to a new report from Black Box Intelligence. The sector saw a same-store sales increase of 0.5% during the month compared to February’s decline of 5% - while traffic decreased 2% compared to a 4.2% drop in February. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 11, 10:25 AM Burger King Worldwide (BKW +2.4%) taps Daniel Schwartz to replace outgoing CEO Bernando Hees. The exec has been the CFO at the company since 2010. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 11, 10:05 AM Burger King (BKW +2.9%) CEO Bernano Hees will leave the company to take the top job at Heinz (HNZ +0.1%). The exec will take the reigns after the takeover of Heinz by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital is complete. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, April 10, 2:17 PM Restaurant visits by parties of adults grew by 1% last year to end four consecutive declines in the category but visits with children in tow showed flat growth once again, according to tracking from the NPD Group. A tripping point for the sector has been the lack of growth in visits by parties with kids. What to watch: Analysts see increased promotional activity sneaking in on the industry's margins. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, April 5, 10:40 AM A strike by fast food workers in New York City could have broad implications with the group's lofty goal to see a 107% pay raise up to $15 per hour. What to watch: Though historically the high turnover rate in the QSR industry has kept labor disruptions to a minimum, unions of foodservice workers have strengthened since 2009 and could take a small bite out of the sector's margins. 10 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, April 1, 8:48 AM Sun Capital's Boston Market fast food chain will move into ribs in its biggest new food launch in six years. The big picture: Though the move is another example of the aggressive efforts of the QSR industry to match the fare at the market-stealing Panera and Chipotle chains, analysts continue to question the impact on margins of the wings-ribs-premium burgers menu plays. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, March 21, 7:16 AM Bank of America lowers the boom on Burger King Worldwide (BKW), dropping its rating on the restaurant operator to Underperform and taking the price target down to $16. Shares of Burger King Worldwide are up over 20% YTD which brings BofA to a jumping off point on valuation concerns. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, March 8, 11:36 AM What's the right mix for U.S. fast-food companies in China? Though forecasts for the QSR market in the nation range as high as spectacular 50% growth by 2015, some analysts remain wary the novelty could wear off and burn those expanding too fast. China plans: 1) McDonald's (MCD +1.4%) wants 2K locations by the end of 2013 which will still stand far below the 5.2K outlets Yum Brands (YUM +1.2%) operates. 2) Starbucks (SBUX +0.9%) is easing into China with a plan for 1.5K stores by 2015 3) Privately-owned Subway has 374 locations with more on tap. 4) Burger King (BKW +0.1%) (<100 locations) and Wendy's (WEN -0.2%) are currently non-factors but keep talking up China. 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Friday, February 22, 8:16 AM A survey released by the CDC indicates Americans are trending toward eating less fast food than in the past as a percentage of their daily intake. Though some consumers are switching to healthier alternatives at McDonald's (MCD), Wendy's (WEN), and Burger King (BKW) - the healthier eating trend could also be incrementally affecting store traffic at the chains. 5 Comments [Consumer]
