We just covered the 10 Best Long-Term Stocks to Buy According to Bill Ackman and Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE:QSR) ranks 6th on this list.

Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE:QSR) is a long-term holding in the 13F portfolio of Bill Ackman. The stock first appeared in the 13F filings for his hedge fund in the fourth quarter of 2014. Back then, this position comprised 38 million shares. By the first quarter of 2016, Ackman had added another million shares to this holding. This stake stayed the same until the third quarter of 2017, when the hedge fund reduced this stake by 32% to 26.5 million shares. By early 2020, this position had been trimmed further, to around 15 million shares. In the second quarter of 2020, Ackman added 66% to this position, growing it over 25 million shares again. Filings for the fourth quarter of 2025 show that the fund owns 22 million shares in the firm.

Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE:QSR) has emerged as a hedge against surging oil prices, latest reports reveal. A Bank of America sector analysis found that Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) spending actually accelerates to 7.3% during gas price spikes. As consumers cut back on full-service dining, like Texas Roadhouse, which was downgraded this week, they trade down to Burger King and Popeyes. This makes QSR a rare defensive growth winner during energy-driven market volatility. Elite investors are also rewarding the firm for shareholder friendly policies. The company has committed to a $500 million share repurchase target for 2026, and quarterly dividend was recently raised to $0.65 per share, yielding 3.3%.

While we acknowledge the potential of QSR as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
