Nine Restaurant Brands International executives sold a combined $7.22 million in QSR stock on February 23, 2026 — all at exactly the same price of $67.51 per share. The precision matching across all nine sellers points to a coordinated disposition plan rather than independent market decisions.

Nine Sellers, One Day, One Price

Insider Title Shares Sold Value Shares After
Axel Schwan Pres., Tim Hortons Americas 34,938 $2.36M 194,983
Thomas Curtis Executive 15,410 $1.04M 100,161
Sami Siddiqui Brand Pres., Popeyes Americas 12,828 $0.87M 31,923
Jill Granat Executive 11,524 $0.78M 476,126
Duncan Fulton Chief Corporate Officer 10,307 $0.70M 49,676
Jeffrey Housman Chief People & Services 7,705 $0.52M 159,961
Thiago Santelmo President, International 5,686 $0.38M 74,066
Jacqueline Friesner Executive 4,616 $0.31M 194,200
Peter Perdue Pres., Popeyes US & Canada 3,882 $0.26M 42,905
Total: 9 insiders $7.22M

Why One Price?

When nine different insiders sell at exactly $67.51 on the same day, it almost certainly indicates a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan with a coordinated execution. Companies often set up block trades where multiple insiders sell simultaneously through a single broker, resulting in identical execution prices.

This isn't necessarily bearish — it's administrative. But the fact that nine senior leaders chose to set up sells at this price level is worth noting.

Brand Presidents Selling

The seller list reads like a who's-who of Restaurant Brands' operating leadership. RBI owns Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs. Notable sellers include:

  • Tim Hortons Americas president Axel Schwan — largest seller at $2.36M
  • Popeyes Americas president Sami Siddiqui — $870K, career total $25.1M
  • Popeyes US & Canada president Peter Perdue — $260K, relatively new to selling
  • International president Thiago Santelmo — $380K

Career Context

Several of these executives have significant career selling histories with QSR:

  • Jill Granat: $37.5M career sales — but still holds 476,126 shares (~$32M)
  • Sami Siddiqui: $25.1M career — down to 31,923 shares (~$2.2M)
  • Axel Schwan: $19.7M career — still holds 194,983 shares (~$13M)
  • Jacqueline Friesner: $17.8M career — holds 194,200 shares (~$13M)

For QSR investors, the coordinated nature of this sell makes it less alarming than nine independent decisions would be. The identical pricing confirms plan-based execution. Still, $7.22M in aggregate insider selling from the people who run Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes deserves a watchful eye.
