This summary was created by AI, based on 12 opinions in the last 12 months.

McDonald's (MCD-N) is viewed as a consistent player in the fast-food industry, with a unique business model that relies heavily on franchising, allowing it to act more as a landlord. Despite a stable earnings growth rate of 7-8% and a yield of 2.65%, experts indicate that the stock's recent performance has been lackluster, with concerns about its growth potential and market trends. While some analysts express cautious optimism regarding the company's ability to adapt, particularly in the use of technology such as AI and robots, others note a potential decline in consumer spending due to inflation. The company is considered defensive due to its international presence and economies of scale, although the stock may currently be seen as slightly overvalued given its P/E ratio positioning.

COMMENT

McDonalds(MCD)

Mar 08, 2022
Inflation and soaring gas prices effecting consumer spending Consumer spending is still robust and can withstand an oil shock for a while. He's more concerned with McDonald's shutting down in Russia and halting nearly 10% of their sales. The hike in oil prices will be temporary, because it is a big political issue; that price will decline.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Feb 18, 2022
It will be choppy trading for another month for sure as we digest inflation, including services inflation--inflation is broadening out into other categories. Not enough attention is being paid to retail sales--which are up--and homes sales are also up nicely. We have to wait--nobody knows where inflation is going. She's a long-term investor. Companies that performed best during earnings season are the ones she likes: Expedia, Wynn, Hilton. Would consider AmEx, Coke, McDonald's--if you get them on sale, you can leg into them and see how it goes.

They report Thursday. Restaurants are in disarray because of Omicron and broken supply chains. The industry faces a winner-take-all situation and the last man standing will be MCD.

A reluctant pass. The chart looks excellent and he loves the company, but it all comes down to their drive-thrus which they've executed very well. But people want a dining-in experience now and the chart is slightly overextended.

He bought this in April 2020 as a reopening stock, but it didn't pan out. Volumes didn't pick up, not even drive-thrus, and revenues haven't risen much, though margins have. They also enjoy real estate gains. Still, it didn't bounce back as expected, and didn't gain market share.

PAST TOP PICK

McDonalds(MCD)

Jul 23, 2021
(A Top Pick Jun 08/20, Up 22%) Pick when the market was selling off. Was looking at companies that would benefit from reopening. Made some money but not a lot and sold it since it was not benefitting from the reopening as much. Was a bit of a disappointment.
