Restaurant Brands International Inc. dividend investors are looking at a company that owns and franchises some of the world's most recognized quick service brands, including Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. The current yield stands at 3.66%, paid quarterly, with trailing twelve-month payments of $2.54 per share. The next ex-dividend date is September 18, 2026, with the last declared quarterly payment at $0.65 per share. QSR's beta of 0.535 points to below-average price volatility, which suits income investors who prioritize a steadier ride over maximum capital appreciation.
Restaurant Brands International Inc. pays out 63.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). The company's franchise-heavy model across Tim Hortons, Burger King, and Popeyes spans Canada, the United States, and international markets, providing broad demand across multiple quick service categories that supports the current payout level. Restaurant Brands International Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from that payout ratio sitting in the upper range: there is limited room to absorb an earnings decline before the dividend would require reassessment.
Over the past 10 years, Restaurant Brands International Inc. has grown its dividend at 18.9% per year. Per-share payments climbed from $0.44 in 2015 to $2.48 in 2025, a more than fivefold increase (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). Restaurant Brands International Inc. dividend history does show one notably slow stretch: 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 (2–4%) yield paired with a history of meaningful per-share growth. At 3.66%, the current yield runs above the five-year average of 3.38%, so income buyers are getting slightly more yield than the stock has typically offered. Nine consecutive years of dividend increases across a portfolio of franchise brands from Burger King to Firehouse Subs reflects a commitment to growing the payout. The trade-off is a 63.8% payout ratio that leaves less cushion than lower-payout peers, and the long-run growth rate of 18.9% per year is unlikely to repeat at that pace indefinitely. What an investor gets here is above-average yield for the sector and a nine-year increase streak; what they accept is an elevated payout ratio that narrows the margin of safety.
