Epicurus Institute Analysis

Burger King, like the other fast food hamburger restaurants is positioned in the marketplace to capture a significant portion of marketshare due to a paradigm shift in consumer spending. When consumers spend less in higher scale restaurants, they invariably turn to less expensive eateries. We believe, therefore that Burger King will thrive during any period of economic downturn, and even during good times, it remains a staple favorite. Their unique "broiling" process captures public interest and a positive approach to healthier fast foods is helping to build business for the future. Thus, we recommend buying and holding Burger King shares.
