THE ULTIMATE SETUP FOR CUSTOMER LOYALTY

Today's chart shows the power of selling addictive products...

One way or another, great businesses find a way to keep customers coming back. Sometimes, it's a physical craving. And while alcohol and tobacco are classic examples, we've also seen this trend with ordinary junk food – think pizza, milkshakes, and donuts.

Today's iconic company sells nearly $60 million worth of addictive foods every single day...

McDonald's (MCD) is a $145 billion fast-food powerhouse. It boasts about 14,000 U.S. locations, plus 23,000 restaurants in more than 100 other countries. Folks everywhere are hooked on its burgers and fries... And lately, demand is shooting even higher.

The company says visits to its restaurants have gone up for two years straight – a streak that hasn't happened since 2012. Meanwhile, profits jumped 14% last year, reaching nearly $6 billion.

As the chart shows, MCD shares have doubled over the past five years (with dividends included). The stock just hit new all-time highs. When people can't resist a company's products, it's usually a setup for impressive gains...

I like McDonald's (MCD) . It's got easy comparisons. It's got an incredible grip on technology. Steve Easterbrook is a genius, just a genius.

The first thing he did was win over the franchisees. That's the most important thing he could do. Then he worked on technology and costs -- taking them down.

Now he is all about convenience and putting technology to work to make it happen.

McDonald’s

While the fast-food giant does a ton of business overseas, it remains a solid pick for investors seeking dividends and a degree of safety.

McDonald’s Corp. (NYSE: MCD) is the world’s leading global food-service retailer with over 37,000 locations serving approximately 69 million customers in over 100 countries each day.

More than 80% of McDonald’s restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent local businesspersons, and it is one of the most valuable brands in the world.

The company reported second-quarter 2019 adjusted earnings per share of $2.05, which matched the Wall Street consensus estimate.

Up 6.5%, global comparisons beat some estimates, with strong performance across the board, including the United States, which was up 5.7%.

The Baird team expects strong performance for McDonald’s to continue as strong comps support store level returns, accelerating net store growth.

McDonald’s shareholders receive a 2.17% dividend. Goldman Sachs has set its price target at $250. The consensus price objective is $231.54, and shares were last seen trading at $221.15.

McDonald’s

The king of fast food has stopped surging in its growth and recovery plan, and it recently lost its star CEO due to a relationship with a subordinate that was against company rules.

McDonald’s Corp. (NYSE: MCD) shares are still about double the level of five years ago, so looking for a snapback resumption of growth may be a hard pill to swallow.

McDonald’s also likely will have to be at least a tad more conservative with its shareholder returns, after having bought back so much stock and having grown its dividend so much.

Being valued at 23 times next year’s earnings may seem high for a restaurant stock, but we are talking about the most valuable restaurant chain in the world here.

What makes McDonald’s screen as “cheap or undervalued” is that the current $197.50 share price is down from a high of $221.93 and that the consensus price target is still up at $222.53.

Maybe analysts need to get a tad more conservative in their upside projections here, but the expected upside is over 12% to those higher numbers, and that’s before considering its 2.5% dividend yield.
