Oakville, Ont.-based RBI was created after 3G-controlled Burger King bought Tim Hortons in 2014 with a goal, as its generic-sounding Restaurant Brands corporate name signalled, of bolstering its portfolio of fast-food chains. RBI's profit last year more than tripled, to $345.6-million from $103.9-million in 2015 while its stock price has jumped more than 90 per cent since it went public in December, 2014, on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
