QSR Stocks See Demand Recovery as Speciality Restaurants Prioritizes Profitable Growth
Macquarie upgraded its outlook on quick service restaurant (QSR) stocks, predicting up to 27% upside for Devyani International amid signs of demand recovery and improved same-store sales. Meanwhile, Speciality Restaurants, led by CEO Avik Chatterjee, is focusing on profitable growth by narrowing its brand portfolio and expanding selectively, contrasting with peers prioritizing rapid expansion. The QSR sector faces challenges like weaker discretionary spending and rising raw-material costs, but some companies report steady profit growth and strategic adjustments.
