MCD

YakResident_3069

Has OP never used the product? What kind of DD is this? It's like investing in MCD without going to one of their restaurants, trying the "product" I mean burger and looking around. The point is, SF has UI from the 90s. It's horrible frontend.

MrNo_Balls

YO MCD is up 7% YTD it is literally one of the strongest stocks in the entire market bro

Coloradodreaming1

Ha I own all of those, except CELH, ELF, and MU and kicking myself for selling MU early last year and swapping it for index fund SMH. I sold ELF swapping for ULTA. Parts of the portfolio act as a ballast that pay dividends like KO, TGT and MCD and are not expected to take off like MU.

Calls on MCD. If we just did an air raid of 55" lg oleds and McDoubles everyone in Iran could become apathetic fat pieces of shit too and we would all get along.

MSFT new MCD?

trainwreck001

MCD was approved for the WH chicken sandwich program. Not exciting enough for me though.

LucreziaBorgia210

MCD deserves a Duolingo style drop to 80%+. Mcdonald’s menu have gotten way too expensive, quality keeps dropping, almost all of their portions look like a kids meal unless you buy a double quarter pounder, and their rewards needs a lot of improvement you can only claim one rewards per 15 minutes so I end up using 20% discount for myself and others with me!

MCD's new "products". Delicious.

MCD is a real estate company.

Exxon Mobil XOM, McDonald’s MCD, Johnson & Johnson JNJ, Google GOOG, Coca Cola KO, Amazon AMZN This is the meta.

MCD stock, I’m lovin’ it

No_Cell6708

Tbf, I have gone to MCD recently, for the first time in probably 4-5 years, but it was because they actually dropped prices/have some $5 value meal-type promotion going on. A few months ago I could basically go to a gourmet, local burger joint for only slightly more than a McDonald's meal.

iBoughtAtTheBottom

I still don’t understand how MCD thought it was a good idea to release the footage to begin with. Billions in revenue and they don’t have a competent marketing team that can screen for risk?

#TLDR --- Ticker: MCD Direction: Up Prognosis: Long the Clown / Ignore the Memes Alternate Ticker: WEN Dumpster Liquidity: Extremely High (1.76 Current Ratio) Summary: Burger King ($QSR) might be winning the social media war, but McDonald's ($MCD) is a terrifyingly efficient real estate cartel dominating actual profitability and capital efficiency. Stop trading fast-food memes and look at the balance sheet.

RagnarLothBroke23

A 12pack of 12oz cans at my local store which is one of the cheaper ones has been as high as $14 lately. A large soda at MCD is $1 or less through the app and is more than double the volume. Even if you get a 12 pack at a more reasonable price by volume MCD probably still wins. Also fountain soda tastes better than canned in a lot of peoples opinion. Its really not that crazy.

RoverV

That’s a beef issue not a MCD issue. Where can you get it cheaper? Wendy’s kids burger or whatever is 99.9% bread, it’s terrible. They don’t want customers to buy 3 McDoubles. Pretty sure nuggets are like $5 for 20 on the app.

Fuk .. same. The MCD bots out in full force.

About to be some 5yr bag holders of MCD,COST,WMT etc...

Yeah, the innocent CEO couldn't take a bite because he had to UPHOLD THE LIE. It's not his fault guise, he honestly wants to spread good burgers to all the little boys and girls but had to play it safe, what's he supposed to do? Be an adult, demand a real burger because you don't want to lie to your customer base. You know who had the most real MCD ad? Who I believed the most? Chicago's mayor. "Despite health concerns I do appreciate what McDonald's brings to our city and the employees that work for them, and yes I eat healthy but also I'm lovin' it." They could own what they are and not be this false bastion of... I don't even know anymore, they aren't any cheaper than anywhere else. If you are a fast food chain as expensive as organic food then be like "yeah it's not good for you, but it's delicious and quick, so if you need some indulgence come to the golden arches, we make comfort food, not lifestyle food" He is the CEO bowing to the direction of a faux food prep person, is what you are telling me? He couldn't possibly speak back to the person respectfully and say "I need to eat the burger or they won't believe me, someone go down the street and buy 10 and we'll pick the best looking one?" Oh, how sad for the poor little McDonald's CEO

platinumarks

Don't think the restaurants they were referring to was MCD, bro

ExplanationSure8996

I caught the bite also. I was thinking that little nibble was not the bit in that shot. I can’t blame him. I can’t stomach that shit. MCD is a pass for me.

kerrickter13

I had half a big arch today, I could have taken a bigger bite than any of these dudes. MCD to the moon.

spellbreaker

Quick buy MCD that stupid product sampling video went viral and you know people are gonna be buying that shit to try it out.

MrNo_Balls

Just watched the CEO video Puts on MCD

GoZukkYourself

Everyone is talking about the MCD CEO video. Meanwhile, the video is racking up millions of impressions, and everyone is talking about it. Do you honestly think that video was leaked by accident?

Will my MCD stock pump tomorrow?

A defensive stock is stock that people buy when they think bad economic times are coming or a stock market downturn is evident. They are stocks that don't drop in market downturn, or drop less than most others. They pay dividends and typically better than average dividends, and can be expected to see more business in an economic downturn. So stocks like the ones I mention above - WMT (Wal Mart), KO (Coke) MCD (McDonalds) are considered defensive plays. Coke is not expensive and people generally won't stop drinking it if we go into a recession. More people will likely shop at WMT in a recssion as they try to save money. Same with MCD - their business goes up as people shift their restaurant purchases from other, more expensive restaurants, to cheaper fast food options.

A few examples to show what is going with big tech these days. These examples can apply to dozens of other tech stocks: MSFT has excellent earnings in late January and sells off big anyway. Capex and software gettign eaten by AI are blamed for the sell off AMZN has excellent earnings a few weeks alter and sells off big too. Can't blame software so blame only CAPEX. NVDA this week has not just excellent, but excellently amazing stupendous phenomenal earnings... and sells off almost 10% over two days. They can't blame AI software fears, can't blame CAPEX (in fact NVDA is making massive bucks off others CAPEX), so they blame the generic catch-all "*valuation*". **Valuation!!** Are you kidding me? Here is NVDA forward PE according to Stock Analysis: 21.52 (note that MSFT and AMZNs forward PEs are 22.4 and 27.2). WMT, KO, and MCD have forward PEs of 43.7, 25.2, 25.8 (many other large cap "defensive" plays have similar PEs). That's right baby - NVDA's forward PE is *half* WMTs.... and people are saying NVDA is selling off because it is *overvalued*!! WMT, KO and MCD are all great companies, but they are not growth companies. It makes sense for them to have forward PEs in the high teens or low 20s. NVDA, AMZN and MSFT continue to grow at rates much, much faster than these three, yet their PEs are the same as the defensive plays no That's where sit right now. People are paying a premium for defensive plays and fleeing big tech growth plays giving many defensive/value plays PEs in the mid 20's (when they are typically in the high teens, low 20s) and giving big tech the same PEs as defensive/value plays.

AI mentioned in an earnings call pumped stocks 20-30% for 2 years and now the mention of Ai has them running for the hills as KO MCD WM JNJ CL PG all continue in a 10 -20 year up trend.

lol into PG , KO, , LLY, MCD, VZ, GIS This is textbook It’s basically automated , triggered panic selling in best of class growth companies into value. But once pessimism is baked in, the panic buying back in will follow, and no one will give you a heads up “it’s time to buy CRWD again “ first Because the same people having to answer to angry clients about capital preservation are the same people that lose angry clients if they underperform This is where retail can have an edge

"-At first i've bought 50% S&P500 at all time high using a lump sum, then immediately that started crashing last year with trump's tariffs. Sold at a loss and bought again at a higher price later. " Don't buy high sell low then buy high later. You want to use periods like last April as opportunities and be buying what people are puking, not be one of the people puking up your portfolio. Have a reasoning behind every investment you make and have that reasoning be at least medium-term. I've said before that last April at the bottom if you were thinking "what is this going to do in the next 24-48 hours?" you weren't going to be a buyer. If you were thinking, "in 6-12 months, I'll probably be happy with these buys" you were buying. "Stay away from the S&P500/World ETF as i believe they're going to crash more thanks to trump's politics and his new Fed chair." If you think the US market is going to crater then other areas aren't going to somehow be immune from that. I think international can outperform and lean more international but am definitely still long the US. "-10% bought recently into consumer's sector (half Amazon at a discount right now and half Walmart even if it has high PE, it's reliable long term)" Walmart is about as expensive as it's been in decades. It is benefitting from this economic environment and continues to take share from TGT, but that's priced in at this point. If something happened to change that, could be a considerable decline in something people consider a conservative investment. AMZN has underperformed MCD and KO over the last 5 years and Jassy has not been the Bezos replacement people hoped for. Probably overdone to the downside at this point but too many people keep "collect 'em all"-ing Mag 7 out of habit. "10% MSCI Canada ETF" There's specific names in Canada that I think are compelling but would not invest in Canada broadly. "+Microsoft+Google+Netflix " MSFT meh, Google good. Mag 7 has become the Mag 2 or 3 tops. "-10% emerging markets ETF -10% South Korea ETF -10% Europe Stoxx 600 top companies ETF" Fine. " Avoiding heavy exposure in China/India/Japan markets because of the high risk." Japan is having a great year. "Keep portfolio diversified 50-50 between ETF's and stock picks which previously demonstrated in graphs higher resistance against cyclicality and stock market crashes." Walmart isn't going to demostrate that if anything that has caused its recent run slows even slightly. AMZN cratered in 2022. NFLX lost 70% off the highs of 2021. You're not buying things that are going to avoid a downturn with the above. "A diversified portfolio you're not swapping and rotating cash frequently, would be profitable long term." This is good, but I don't know that there's a clear strategy with what you picked aside from gold, and no US aside from household names, some of which haven't done all that great in the last 5 years. "Also i'm avoiding biotech/pharma" I don't know that I'd avoid a sector like healthcare just because you lost money on a couple of stocks.

stockist420

In an event of an attack fundamentals will matter a bit less, lol. CHRD is a clean play though, zero middl east exposure. In general in oil sector refiners will probably have a mixed reaction, depedening on crude access. Tankers will enjoy a rates spike because of disruption in Strait of Hormuz disruption . Defense stocks go up, may be RTX, LDOS, PLTR . I have XOM, HAL, SLB, HON, MSFT, MCD all having subsidaries in middle east but not sure how much they would be impacted. But whatever it will be , will be negative. All the susbidaries I have for CHRD are 100% in US

Puts on $MCD, just paid 30$ for some mcDonald's that tasted like mcdick

Aggravating_Path206

I go for the picks and shovels instead, position in MCD.

Cycleofmadness

it wasnt too long ago that they responded to Chick Fil A's morning chicken biscuit with one of their own. It was an actual whole piece of breast breaded & fried just like Chick's & a nice tasting biscuit that I think was slightly larger than Chick's. I liked it better than Chick's. Then Wendy's went MCD style & just got the same square pre-prepared & cooked patty & the biscuit wasn't as good either anymore.

WMT and MCD are great poor people stocks.

Just hold it. There’s a reason it’s going up along with CAT, MCD, etc, it’s not total irrationality. It’s the way money is currently moving around the world.

Blade3colorado

Fair question and I again asked AI (Gemini) the same question, i.e., I asked, "Is this statement true or false, "Amazon has been outperformed over the last 5 years by McDonald's, Coke and JNJ. MSFT has been outperformed by Phillip Morris, Walmart, Waste Management and Exxon over the last half decade." This is what it said: Based on data through **early 2026**, the statement is **False**. While it is true that slow-growth, defensive stocks like McDonald's (MCD) or Coca-Cola (KO) sometimes outperform tech stocks over very short timeframes (like the 2022 market downturn), the statement is false over a 5-year **total return** horizon (which includes reinvested dividends). Here is the data-driven breakdown: # 1. Amazon (AMZN) vs. MCD, KO, JNJ Amazon has significantly outperformed these consumer staples over the last five years. * **Amazon (AMZN):** Has benefited from massive growth in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and e-commerce dominance, resulting in a **higher total return** despite a sharp drop in 2022. * **Staples:** While McDonald's, Coke, and Johnson & Johnson are stable income generators, they have grown at a much slower rate. # 2. Microsoft (MSFT) vs. PM, WMT, WM, XOM Microsoft has dramatically outperformed this group over the last five years. * **Microsoft (MSFT):** Driven by cloud computing (Azure) and the integration of AI, Microsoft has been one of the market's best performers. * **The Comparison:** * **Walmart (WMT):** While performing exceptionally well for a retailer, it has not matched Microsoft's returns. * **Exxon Mobil (XOM):** Despite a massive surge in energy prices, Exxon's 5-year total return is still lower than Microsoft's. * **Waste Management (WM) & Philip Morris (PM):** These are stable, slower-growth stocks that have not kept pace with the tech sector.

MCD’s makes me feel totally alienated. Absolute garbage food, way too expensive, probably takes years off your life. But I’ll be dammed if the local drive through a arent constantly packed.

There's no way MCD doesn't have good earnings next week. Everywhere I turn I'm dodging some morbidly obese shape trying to make room and turn sideways a bit while we pass each other, and every time our tummies brush, it feels so yucky.

dvdmovie1

> Don't just downvote me b/c it isn't a Mag 7 stock or some AI bubble stock. Someone would have done better owning WM than MSFT over the last 5 years. MCD has outperformed AMZN. "Tell me why you think $SONY is a bad choice to buy. Don't just downvote me b/c it isn't a Mag 7 stock or some AI bubble stock." Definitely and it's that kind of thing that's an illustration of what's eroded on here in recent years, much less actual discussion going on. It's mostly the same stocks discussed and when those stocks are doing well people complain that one of theirs isn't doing as well as the others, then when they're all doing bad it's complaining that they're all doing bad.

Outrageous_Tip_2133

stocks like WMT and MCD have historically done really well through downturns. When middle income consumer downgrades spending, WMT and MCD benefit. You'll also see this in overperformance of TJX, ROST, etc.

RustyGriswold99

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to argue at this point. Consumer staples outperforming during a downturn is literally the market agreeing with me, not you. Money rotating into WMT, KO, PEP, and MCD is a defensive move, it's investors saying "the consumer is under stress so I'm going to hide in companies that sell things people can't stop buying regardless of economic conditions." That's not a exactly a sign of a booming economy. Your original point was that stores are busy, stocks are up, and there's no reason to sell. If that were true, you'd see money flowing into discretionary and growth (SBUX, LULU, NKE), not into Campbell's soup and Pepsi.

Hopeful-Climate-3848

MCD and KO now trading at higher forward multiples than MSFT.

I'm not sure who loves Publix anymore. All I hear about in local discussions is how much Publix has gotten so overpriced and the quality of the subs/bakery really fallen in the past years. The company decisions are from the board of directors. In practice, its almost identical to you owning a share of MCD and also happen to be working there as a cashier.
