QSR is trending up. Trading at $77.69, the stock is 4.63% above its 50-day average of $74.25 and 4.66% above its 200-day average of $74.23. The price is near the top of its 52-week range: 5.21% below the high of $81.96, and 18.75% above the low of $65.43. The 50-day average is 0.02% above the 200-day, so the two averages are arranged in the way an uptrend would produce.

ProTips
  1. The two closest levels to watch are the 52-week high of $81.96 above the price and the 20-day EMA of $74.85 below it.
  2. A 14-day RSI of 61.5 falls in the bullish zone, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 would point to stretched momentum.
  3. After the October 29, 2026 report the share price fell 2.03% in the first session; QSR beat estimates in 5 of the last 7 reports.
Market outlook

The uptrend rests on QSR staying above its 50-day average at $74.25 and its 200-day average at $74.23; a close below the 50-day would be the first crack in it. On a pullback, the first level the price would meet is the 20-day EMA at $74.85.

QSR's next level overhead is the 52-week high of $81.96. The RSI sits in the bullish zone, and that momentum still supports the upward move.
