Restaurant Brands International also witnessed a rise in its share price per unit to $107.08 and is targeting to reach $110.29 at the end of 2024. 

TD Bank

Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX:TD) is one of the two largest banks in Canada, operating in three business segments, namely Canadian retail banking, wholesale banking, and U.S. retail banking. It serves customer through a comprehensive network of branch offices, ATMs, online portals, and wealth advisors.

In 2023, the company had massive revenue, helping it to grow and expand its operations. As of February 7, 2024, the bank’s market capitalization is $144.5 billion, and the beta (5Y monthly) is 0.84, making it a less volatile stock during market fluctuations.
