BK

Reality is China will take state control of Taiwan Semi and they will no longer be listed on the exchange. About the same thing as a company going BK. How's that for reality.

We chilling outside bar in BK 🤗

Time to put on the McDonalds hat big dog. No BK crown for you.

I have seen some weird people in forums. When the internet started, we used to use our real name, I called a few up just to chat with them to see if they really believed what they posted. Like there were 5 people protesting about MCI in front of our headquarters in WashDC, the poster was thinking this would cause a big problem for the company. MCI was an SP500 company with 30 billion in annual revenue, we walked around the protestors and took pics because of how odd it was. Another poster was a stock broker using his wife's social account to push a penny stock. His wife's account because he would have gotten fired if anyone knew what he was doing. That company went BK. This was like 30 years ago, I still see that same alias on some stock boards, not reddit btw. One guy posted 4000 times in one year about some junk stock.

When was the “new” Whopper introduced? I haven’t had BK in a while, and when I got a Whopper a month or two ago it was horrible. Not nearly as good as I remembered. A couple weeks later I got another thinking the first was a fluke, but the second one was bad too. Pretty disappointed if this is their improvement

NickSalacious

I had BK twice this week. Calls.

eamd59

They are under QSR, reasturant brands international. You get a few different company's with BK. Popeyes, Firehouse subs and Tim Hortons. Did this dude get a bad whopper or something.

acart005

They changed the recipe as I recall and for about 5 minutes it was actually really good. But those fries and even that incarnation of BK are long dead.  I miss the age of the King.  Those weird ass 360 games were peak.

fireinsaigon

i think the only burger spots there are BK, MCD and lotteria. maybe jollibee too. there's popeyes too

tristis_veritas

How did Wendy's dumpster become the meme? Instead of BK or Taco Bell or McDonald's dumpster? They actually have fresher and higher quality food, relatively speaking. Usually looks cleaner and less ghetto than a regular McDonald's too. Anyways, they are hurting: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/20/wendys-taps-former-potbelly-ceo-bob-wright-to-lead-burger-chain.html

Short MU long BRK + BK this is alpha

SOPA dont miss this one! Cheap BK play that will go eventually. EASY 100% i promise you

Danimalspirit

BK all day

ryman9000

BK fries fuck tho. So I can somewhat get behind that if the micky Ds line is long

SoCallMeDeaconBlues1

Bought just before they left BK. 1000 shares. Selling at 100 or 40, runner to 150 or 20. Wide moat, great product, great intellectual property, had shit management that is slightly less shitty now. Power semiconductors (and LED manufacturers) are their main customers. Look at Infineon, Renesas, ON semi, STMicro. Main uses are now in power, and it's needed in many EV applications as well as larger scale stuff. Should keep running.

SoCallMeDeaconBlues1

Bought a big bag right before they came out of BK. Looked a little iffy there for a bit but yeah glad I held too. Good product, good moat, good IP, new less screwed up management

Inevitable-Cow-616

Where’s GMoney? I lost 20k just at BK buying up the stock through the hype back then. I jumped the ship after a few rocky waves. I just don’t know enough to reinvest in Wolf anymore. I had bad luck

SuperNewk

We are crashing!!!!! MU is going BK?!?

EmbarrassedOrchid685

thats just the enshittifcation of everything in the US these days. Wendys in canada is as good as it ever was, still better than mcdicks, BK lounge catching up but need more locations.

zuukinifresh

Kind of obvious - McD, BK, Culvers, In n Out, Sonic, & Shake Shack all have better offerings at same or better rates. Plus idk why but Wendy’s employees are always scum of the Earth service wise

Waltslife

What is Blackberry? The old flip phone that they stopped making 20 years ago? I thought they went BK a long time ago??

Siriricu20

Buy some Wendy’s calls with my BK cashier salary

miss_L_fire

The only good deals at BK are at breakfast, partner and I got 2 sandwiches, 2 hash browns, and 2 French toast sticks for $15

redbulladdict01

Just because they gained a little customer sales back through the big arch doesn’t mean they have solved half their issues. With the removal of the soda machines they are certainly on the wrong side of customer approval. Lastly, have you been to a McDonald’s lately? Yikes. BK will be getting a large market share in my opinion this year.

NerdyBro07

Prices across the board for eating out just high. Doesn't matter if it's shake shack or a local burger joint, most places are charging $14 for a similar sized burger. I would rather spend $14 on a shake shack burger (which is just as good and sometimes better than local joints) than $6-8 on a crappy Mcdonalds/BK/Wendys/etc burger. That said, i think most people are just going to have to accept they are being priced out of eating out and cut back.

LordDarthShader

I used to work there, but not anymore. Take a look around r/LocalLLM; the latest Qwen models, like the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, are good enough for most tasks—including regular PowerShell/Python work and even web development. Given the rising cost of token usage, I bet most developers and small companies will eventually move toward running their own LLMs locally. This shift proves how Chinese developers are performing real optimizations to compete despite limited GPU resources, whereas Anthropic and OpenAI seem to be burning cash and brute-forcing progress with more hardware. GitHub Copilot recently shifted from $10/month to $40/month for a rate-limited plan, and plenty of people are turning away. It just shows that these massive LLMs are not truly cost-effective yet. Intel had a great opportunity with Falcon Shores, but they cancelled that, too. They screwed everything up with the ACT in 2017, firing expert personnel who held the "tribal knowledge" of manufacturing just so Brian Krzanich (BK) could show stock growth. It backfired 100%; 10nm failed, and everything started to crumble. Between the i9-14900K crashes and the poor performance of Arrow Lake, it’s clear that pre-silicon validation is still broken at Intel—and that is a problem you can’t fix by manipulating the stock price.

Half BTC half BK Shit should be at 0

Henry Ford filed BK twice never give up.

What’s the ticker? I love their burgers but fuck nobody goes to BK in Singapore

Pale-Silver-8178

Yes i dont want money i want dilution and rugpulls dont suggest actual stocks with value!!! Okay i guess im a bot for suggesting something not pennystock that can rugpull 

NotAnotherEmpire

Runs airline, YOLO short future fuel costs, goes BK.  Can't explain that. 

Mundane_Bluejay_6794

BK and CSCO have been two solid winners that haven’t got a lot of love over here.

kingofjingling

You really should do this lol. Maybe add QSR owner of Tim Hortons, BK, Popeyes, and firehouse subs. I got some Tim Hortons coffee in the middle of nowhere China a year or two back and that place was busy as fuck lol.

Horse_Cock42069

Regards just jealy he literally used Hulk Hogan to BK a company.

pork_fried_christ

BK would bend the brim like that smh

Avid_Reader87

I just wish they hadn’t closed down so many.  They only have a couple left in our city and they’re not really convenient to get to when I would drive past a BK or Chik fila.

err_j

Was that shit meant to bleed beet juice? I only had one ever, at the Honalulu airport BK and I’m pretty sure the meat was an old cardboard box that housed the shipment of beyond meat patties. Was rough and never thought to revisit… but should I? At a higher turn-over locale perhaps? I’m gonna. Convinced myself while writing this. Just for a trial though, no intention of veganising myself.

Retaining-Wall

Not sure how I feel about this ad campaign that Burger King is running that's basically like "we're so sorry we let ourselves go come back pls." It's kinda weird. Mind you it's 1000x better than the pitchy singing "🎵 BK have it your way..you rule." Those made me angry.

Ok-Piano8789

constant BK would suck but i think the wind's gotta be right or somethin, it's like 3 blocks away. the smells from the japanese place are always p nice.

Ok-Piano8789

i love open window weather cuz i live above a japanese restaurant and it smells amazing theres also a BK further away but sometimes i get that burger fumes and its like wow

Pete26l96

oh man I don't like those with the BBQ sauce and soggy onion ring 90% of the time. That reminds me though, the BK stacker is pretty fire.

FiefKief

Bro BK taste like asshole

A_Chair_Bear

Regular Burger: BK Seasonal Burger: Wendy’s Pretzel pub I want you back

Suspicious-Return809

Ronald, is that you? Or are you the King they fired from BK?

LucreziaBorgia210

For customers, Wendys makes better quality burgers than McDs or BK IMO and cheaper. For employment? Wendy’s is a good place to work.

value1024

Obviously if this does move not work out they are back to losing money, getting delisted off Nasdaq, and going BK in the end as they might have lack of funding on the OTC. The play is to capitalize on management not being shy that they are using "AI" and the fact that they just pivoted to another market segment, and are "efficient" is serving it. If management is to be trusted, this is massive, and this is no longer a $3M market cap stock any longer.

SamLeCoyote_Fix_1

Because nobody is yet thinking about holidays but it will come and saw nice smart money movements + very low debt and small profits. The price is quite low without any reason to worry about BK or RS or bad stuff 

d33p7r0ubl3

Looks like the pop was due to BK and HOOD Trump accounts lmao

Retaining-Wall

I saw the most pathetic commerical for BK during the Oscars, and the whole commercial was basically "we're super sorry that we let ourselves go, come back. We're doing better." I'm not even kidding.

gatovision

They’ve been doing it the past 3.5 years so nothings changed. Market is still infatuated with ai. Algo buys on every dip for ai hardware stocks. Just keep pushing the bubble up. $OWL could be interesting though, thats a bad sign if an ai infrastructure lender goes BK.

PARABOLIC-Explorer

Can you imagine being the shareholders of Polaroid in 1998 and your board turned down an all cash buy out offer $3B in 1999 dollars? 😂 only to file BK a couple years later? 😂

Admirable-Ad-8402

So what? That was several CEOs ago. BK was a douchebag.

Xdddxddddddxxxdxd

No way you have had it in the last couple years. The quality is Arby’s level. Every store I’ve been to smells weird. They are far below McD and even BK at this point.

BNA-mod

I bought, but very light… AMZN, NVDA, AIRJ, SSO, IBM, LLY, SOFI, ASML, BK. And when I say light, I mean light. Figure it’s DCA time. The market is basically almost back to where it was and I don’t see it dropping much further. If you include an inflationary factor of 2.4% for the past year, the amount of devaluation of your dollar, the S&P is up about 9.6%, the NSDQ is up about 18.5% and the DJIA is up about 8.5%. I believe that’s a reasonable point to DCA.

AttilaTH3Hen

I hope they go BK

Expensive-Usual5817

I think NFE could be soon after creditors sign and BK risk is gone, a few weeks from now

No-Lie2979

The standard recommendation is FTSE All-World (Vanguard version: VWCE, IE00BK5BQT80) or MSCI ACWI. US only is too risky.

SaturdaysAFTBs

What you’re describing is atypical (and I have no actual detail about the situation you’re describing). This is not how most BK proceedings would go.

SaturdaysAFTBs

I mean you kind of invalidated your own point. He was the highest bidder in the auction which means other people didn’t see the value. You know what happened with capital he used to buy the assets? It would be distributed to the secured creditors by the bankruptcy court. Your original comment implying some sort of self dealing or scheme to steal away assets via bankruptcy is not the reality of how it works. You probably have never gone through a BK process or read much about it beyond a few sensationalist articles.

HangJet

LOL.... Land of the corrupt. You gambled and lost. Suck it up. You blame trump, the war and everything else, take ownership of your own F UP. get your head out of your ass and get back to work. No one promised you anything, you are not owed anything. You were just another person whom figured you could do it the easy way without risk. File BK if you have to. Get another job and get moving again. Crying about it does nothing. No one is going to pity you that your gamble didn't work. We all win at times lose at times in love, life and Money.... Stop Gambling, stop investing, stop speculating. You have a problem and should seek counseling and guidance on that. The rest you need to do yourself and do it starting now.

AttorneyatLawlz

Why is making fun of you and watching not good enough? I dont think we need to short it for it to BK soon. It'll do it on its own.

GovernorHarryLogan

Fast food is only palatable in price when you use their apps for acrual deals. Walmart+ with the BK 25% is pretty hype. Free whopper every quarter is like a tasty dividend.

BFLO-Retail

I'm jealous of the short airlines trade. Wish I had thought of that at the beginning of the month. If this conflict lasts longer than a microsecond major carriers are going BK

Mundane_Bread7471

JUMIA!!! $JMIA...EM turnaround play.. Pan African E-Commerce company led by CEO Francis Dufay.. Company was founded in 2013 and IPO'd in 2019 to much fanfare hitting almost $55 a share in 2021.. but the burn was out of control and they didn't have a business that worked to serve the local markets... it was going to go BK right before Dufay took over as CEO in Feb of 2023 after running the Côte d'Ivoire operations since 2014 and growing it into their best/only performing market.. currently about $865M market cap... They just had their record revenue quarter in Q4 $61M up 34% YOY (GMV growing roughly 36%YOY).. They have brought the net cash burn down to around $1.7M for the quarter with $78M in cash and no debt.. much higher barrier to entry for competition than people realize.. The markets they serve are 8 countries 600M people (Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal, Ghana, Uganda) they are young and growing and the last to the digitally connected party.. The first thing Francis did as CEO was get them out of several underperforming markets where they couldn't win in the near term down from 13 countries to 8.. He also closed the gaudy Dubai headquarters and reduced headcount.. everyone in corporate now lives in Africa.. he then spent the first two years rebuilding the supply in China (only place he hired in the first two years was in Shenzhen) where he needed to rebuild the sellers trust and retool the website to sell products that the customers could afford.. think white label tv's for $70 and sneakers for $6.. Then they consolidated all the warehouses in their core markets (they rent these buildings keeping costs low like ML does in South America).. the next thing was to target the rural "poor" where even his colleagues thought was crazy, but that is where the majority of the population lives.. so they set up pick up stations to lower the cost of last mile delivery and set up "J-Force Teams" to educate people on e-commerce.. Their cost to deliver to customers is down from $10+ to $1.90 and they are profitable on the variable cost on every delivery, and now more than 60% of their orders come from these rural areas..Amazon and Temu can't just pour money into these markets to compete..Jumia has built a super sophisticated partner networks for delivery and logistics..They use local partners to move the goods and and locals own the pick up stations this keeps Jumia from being ripped off because people aren't robbing their neighbors like they may be tempted to with a company listed in the USA.. these are countries with no national post office, they have solved this and plan grow a logitics vertical around this long term for non Jumia customers..Amazon can't just buy 1000 delivery trucks in NIgeria (they don't exist and the infrastructure to service such assets is nowhere to be found..Francis Dufay has cracked the code to grow this business and even at a 10x by 2030 it will be a fraction of the market cap of global E-commerce companies like SEA and MELI.. It is a combination of the digital technological revolution of the last 25 years in the US, the untapped growth off the floor in countries with GDP per capita under $10K, and the strong frugal leadership of Francis Dufay who acts like and is an owner and the excellent steward of your capital over the next 3 to 5 years..I am long JMIA

Dizzy_Maybe8225

Yes, this company is hiding stuff from shareholders, and they are trying to show it on every quarterly report. The newly hired CIO/VP is a shame to the company. He is going to take it to close to BK.

Ok-Piano8789

honestly pretty interesting commercial from BK to be like straight up we started sucking mb

ArmorMog

Around me Culver's is crushing it. $16 for a great burger, fries, and concrete. There's a street that's got a Culver's, BK, and McD's and the Culver's always has a line while the others have maybe 1 or 2 cars in the parking lot.

IDrinkSulfuricAcid

Why would banks be a good long play in that case? Banks are always some of the first to get dumped in a bear market. Check the chart of BAC, JPM, BK, etc. during 2022.

Fantastic_Pirate3948

McDonald’s does not have a good burger on the menu. They survive because of the cheap prices on some items, like the double cheeseburger, and quick service. If BK or Wendy’s was able to lower the cost and up their service, it would be over for McDonald’s.

Bodycount9

Last time I went to the bank to get two's, I needed them for tooth fairy reasons of course. But the teller said they had over $2000 worth of two's and she just needed to know how many I wanted because she wanted to get rid of them. I grabbed $50 worth. Then went to lunch at a Burger King next door. Paid for my meal with two's and the person behind me was freaking out because she wanted them. The server at BK said she couldn't give them back out and the lady behind me was basically crying saying she collects them. Told her to just go next door to the bank because they have thousands of dollars worth of two's and will give her as many as she wanted. She thought I was joking around. The amount of people who still think two's are ultra rare and are somehow worth more than two dollars is scary.

InIce1234

Sometimes I drive to McDonalds and get a Big Mac, then I drive straight to BK and get a Whopper. I then open up the BigMac, take out the middle bun and put the Whopper inside instead. I use the leftover piece of bread to feed ducks or give it to a homeless guy (bear).

ajw827

Meh, I've had worse Mondays. That zesty onion ring sauce from BK is top tier sauce tho.

dagodbaby

BK has the only CEO that looks like a Man

HG21Reaper

Bro the BK CEO took a big ass bite out of that Whopper and that is exactly how my wife’s boyfriend eats her pussy. Really satisfying to watch.

jmastaock

BK is actually better ong Wendy's is just *crazy* inconsistent now. Some shops are still solid, some will serve you the most vile shit you've ever tasted from a fast food joint I don't gamble anymore. McDs and BK are at least relatively consistent in their mediocrity

TheBooneyBunes

Honestly? I prefer BK, even if my toilet doesn’t

HeadmasterPrimeMnstr

Tim's and BK merged so Tim's could use BK's international markets to expand and BK could use something from Tim's, I just forget what it was.

zach7797

Ch'king sandwich was insanely good bro BK slaps

ZukunftLupin

It’s what didn’t happen at Wendy’s. There’s a reason McDonald’s CEO is scared to eat their burger and Burger Kings CEO is performatively taking bites of their own burgers on TikTok. Wendy's uses 100% real, fresh, never-frozen beef. God knows what McDonald’s and BK uses.

Draked1

Honestly out of all the fast food options I’ve had the last few months, Burger King has been the top experience for me. Their burgers actually taste seasoned and the lettuce is legitimately fresh and crunch. The bacon even has crunch to it, idgaf what y’all say BK’s burgers slap compared to the other shit options

chalky_2000

I only believe the BK guy 👑

spingdingdowning

BK

guttoral

Oh 100%. No comparison. The Burger King burger actually looks and tastes fresh. Great portion. Fairly priced. I'd take a BK #1 over McD any day.

derfzinkerbelle

BK did it like a boss, McDs was a lark, and Wendy's is desperate to be included.

fire_alarmist

You are bullish? The CEO of McDicks just got bitemogged in front of millions by the BK frat leader and you are bullish? No respect these days.

No_Abbreviations3943

Bro he’s a CEO of a fortune 500 companies. I’d be shocked if he doesn't visit Epstein like islands.  Anyway this is not a distraction, it’s just an ad for fast food. Three lame rich white executives reluctantly eating their own product.  It’s not even about selling the food, it’s just there to create tribalism, with dumb people saying they love BK or McDonalds more.

TadGhostal1

My experience is the exact opposite. My town has McD and BK, which I eat all the time and enjoy them both. Wendy's is by far my favorite. It's not even close honestly. I really wish I had a local one.

Disconn3cted

BK CEO and McDonald's CEO are both extremely gay but BK CEO is obviously the top

Wiggles114

Look at the neck muscle action on BK guy. He's really getting up in that shit

Up_in_the_Sky

McDonald’s and BK are both trash tier but BK pulls slightly ahead due to not being McDonald’s. Wendy’s used to actually be decent back in the day when the previous owner gave a damn. But after he passed away it inevitably went downhill. And then of course Covid happened. Then the game became, *how can I do the exact same thing, but cheaper* so of course quality will decline further. (No it’s not your recipe.) P Terry’s is the only fast food burger I’ll eat at this point tbh.

Naive_Ad2958

yea, the BK CEO made me want a BK the McD just cemented me not getting McD

TerrorHank

Are fastfood burgers really that toxic in the us? Everybody acting like they're claiming to eat a turd sandwich and so it must be fake or otherwise somehow disingenuous, like they couldn't possibly even consider eating an actual real burger from one of their restaurants. Why is that? The McD and BK burgers here aren't fine dining but really, really not so bad that I'd be surprised if a ceo ate a real one.

CabbageFarm

Man, if I was Burger King, after that McDs ad dropped, I would release a video of the BK CEO just sitting at a table eating a double whooper meal. No words or even acknowledgement that he's on camera. Just 10 or so minutes of him eating his food. Fuck PR, go down the troll road and cross the bridge.

TurbinePro

five guys and chik fil a are at least fine burgers. McDonald's Wendy's and BK might as well be made out of Cyberpunk 2077 paste for all I can tell.

aBeaSTWiTHiNMe

BK CEO actually sounds like a cool dude though, heard him on a radio show (99.9 KISW) and he was really down to earth and open to changing BK for the better, he understands it's in a weird place.
