<WIRE> Restaurant Brands (ASX:RBD) Hits 6-Year Low On Weak FY23 Outlook, Price Target Cut

Shares of Restaurant Brands (ASX:RBD) from New Zealand took a hit of approximately 4.5% to NZ$5.35, the least they’ve been since May 2017.

The stock took a 12.2% fall on Monday and is down by about 2.6% this year, as of the last close.

Macquarie has decided to cut the price target to NZ$8.91 per share from NZ$10.24 per share, but it maintains an ‘outperform’ rating.
