Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE:QSR) is a fast food restaurant company known for its well-known brands, such as Tim Hortons and Burger King. Its shares are up by 9.4% over the past year and by 12.4% year-to-date. Amidst the macroeconomic tension ushered in by the Iran conflict, Bank of America was out with some rather interesting coverage about the firm recently, as it pointed out that spending in the Quick Service Restaurant sector appeared to accelerate when gasoline prices surged.

On March 2nd, Truist raised the firm’s share price target to $87 from $83 kept a Buy rating on the shares. Cramer also discussed the firm and confirmed that it was performing well in the current environment:

“When it comes to fast food, it’s QSR that is doing the best, which is Burger King in a major turnaround”
