RBD - Restaurant Brands

[bunter]

Carl's Jr was supposed to be the 'growth story' for RBD, but it's not going nearly as well are RBD thought it would.
Seems people go to new stores when they open but don't go back.

My take on CJ is the food is unhealthy, excessive (portions too big), expensive and a little slow - maybe consumers are wising up?
Too soon to write CJ off, but I'm losing patience.

KFC is 75% of RBD's turnover and it's booming, with same-store sales up 10%.
So RBD's growth has come from the old workhorse (and a little, surprisingly, from Pizza Hut).

In retrospect opening more KFC stores might have been better than going into CJ.

Milford sold a million or so over the last few weeks but still hold heaps

Good investment for the NZ Super Fund ......encourage the young to eat lots of greasy stuff equals a good investment and then hope they die before they reach the sixties equals less pensions to pay out.

We should encourage this unethical investing practice eh

@bunter "In retrospect opening more KFC stores might have been better than going into CJ."


Good supposition, perhaps weighing up whether to diversify and grow with CJ , or risk saturating a mature KFC market footprint.


@W69 As for luring the youth into an accelerated demise, as you contend, I say you've missed the point, the market is much bigger than young people.

a winner cant see why 4 bucks wouldnt come about one day (slow grind higher this one) good div yield still good growth happening, long as everyone keeps eating the chicken why not

Still no reason to even contemplate selling

A cracker 4Q sales result. Closed on the highs today at $4. A bit behind the Winner prediction, but I won't hold that against him! Still my biggest NZX holding. Still no reason to sell!

Sold out @ $3.99 today, been a good run over 3 years, ~+34% inc divi. Just looks very toppy to me and I want that profit & capital to use elsewhere for awhile. No disrespect to RBD or dedicated holders.

All the best,
BAA
