Restaurant Brands International Inc. dividend investors are looking at a global quick-service operator running roughly 29,000 locations across 100 countries under brands including Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. QSR currently pays a 3.17% dividend yield. The trailing annual dividend rate is $2.54 per share, paid quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on September 18, 2026. A beta of 0.534 points to below-average price volatility, which suits income investors who prioritize steadier price behavior over high growth.
Restaurant Brands International Inc. pays out 89.2% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That level is supported by the franchise-heavy model underlying Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes, which generates fees from approximately 29,000 locations without carrying the full cost burden of company-owned restaurants. Restaurant Brands International Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from that same payout ratio: at 89.2%, there is limited room to absorb an earnings decline before the dividend would require reassessment.
Restaurant Brands International Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 18.9% per year from 2015 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.44 to $2.48 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from the growth calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 1.9% in 2021, a sharp contrast to the 130.8% jump recorded in 2018.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +4.7% | $2.16 (2022) | $2.48 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +3.6% | $2.08 (2020) | $2.48 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +18.9% | $0.44 (2015) | $2.48 (2025) |
QSR stock fits dividend investors who want a moderate yield paired with a long run of annual increases. The current yield of 3.17% sits above the 5-year average of 2.81%, meaning today's entry point delivers more income than the historical norm. The trade-off is a payout ratio of 89.2%, which leaves little cushion. Nine consecutive years of dividend increases reflect a commitment to growing the payment, but the yield classification of moderate (2–4%) means this is an income-plus-growth story rather than a pure high-yield play. Investors get exposure to a globally scaled franchise operator and a dividend that has grown fast, accepting a payout structure that leaves limited margin for error.
