Restaurant Stocks to Buy

McDonald’s Corporation (MCD): Not long ago, market watchers were wondering if McDonald’s could ever come back. The food was unfashionable with millennials, and the stores and service weren’t competitive.

And now none of that matters thanks to hash browns and Egg McMuffins.

All-day breakfast has been a huge hit for MCD, and it’s still not done riding this success. Indeed, the hamburger chain is now researching the possibility of offering the full breakfast menu all day long.

MCD stock is up about 25% since it launched all-day breakfast about six months ago and sentiment hasn’t been this good in years.

NOTHING FANCY... JUST SIMPLE WORLD DOMINANCE

The solid run continues for the world's largest fast-food chain...

Regular readers know we view McDonald's (MCD) as one of the best companies to own for long-term investors. Its model is simple and time-tested, and the company enjoys tremendous customer loyalty. If you're hungry, it doesn't get much quicker – or cheaper – than a trip to the Golden Arches.

The World Dominator has more than 30,000 locations throughout 100-plus countries. In the past few years, McDonald's has sold billions of dollars' worth of burgers and fries and generated billions of dollars in profits.

It has paid shareholders large, growing dividends for nearly four decades. And to stay ahead of the competition, the company recently launched an all-day breakfast menu.

Despite the market's rocky start to 2016, McDonald's has stayed the course... Shares are up 30% over the past seven months and just hit a 52-week high. Once again, it's proof that owning high-quality, dividend-paying companies works...

Best Stocks to Buy on a Dip: McDonald’s Corporation (MCD)

McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) rode all-day breakfast out of a serious and protracted slump, but now the market is starting to tire of the story.

Shares hit an all-time high in May, but it has been downhill ever since.

Indeed, MCD stock is off 6% over the last month. As a result, the forward P/E has come down from more than 24 to less than 20. That puts it much more in line with peers at a time when the chain is looking at making a revolutionary change.

McDonald’s is (among other things) testing a switch to never-frozen beef patties. Analysts say that would improve taste, cook times and customer service.

If MCD can follow all-day breakfast with a successful launch of fresh beef patties, the market will surely bite.

At-Risk American “BFG” Stocks: McDonald’s Corporation (MCD)

Just recently, iconic American BFG McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD) won an important legal battle in Europe.

Future Enterprises, a food and beverages producer from Singapore, attempted to register “MACCOFFEE” in the EU, but was rebuffed by several European courts. Unfortunately for MCD investors, that may be the only victory in Europe that the Golden Arches will have for quite some time.

MCD stock has been anemic this year, and the Brexit is just begging for further trouble.

Unlike most cases, for MCD, the Brexit is a compounding problem as opposed to a brand new one. Over the last three years, total revenue has slipped an average of nearly 5%. That compares unfavorably to a near-6% sales growth rate between 2010 through 2013.

The core issue is market saturation, a common Achilles heel for a BFG company. After having conquered the known world, where else can MCD impose its will?

Worse yet, McDonald’s has shown vulnerability to previous European fiascos. During the height of the debt crisis and austerity concerns, MCD saw a sharp reversal of fortune in its most lucrative market. Even the Russia-Ukraine conflict brought about temporary store closures.

As with AAPL, the risk to MCD stock isn’t one of total collapse. However, with the Brexit already negatively impacting major European indices, it’s a fairly safe bet that the company will experience volatility for the remainder of the year.

MCD stock won’t be on the dollar menu any time soon, but patient investors may get to see a nice discount further down the line.

Food Stocks to Buy: McDonald’s (MCD)

by Mike Mozart

When evaluating the fast-food arena, McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD) stock cannot be overlooked. Arguably one of the most recognizable brands in the world, the Golden Arches is a great choice for long-term investors.

MCD has had its troubles in recent years as consumers looked for healthier options, but over the past year the company has focused on what it does best: fast, American comfort food. That strategy appears to be working.

McDonald’s has seen an uptick in new customers since introducing an “All-Day Breakfast” menu. The company has also tried to innovate in ways that will capture the attention of the elusive millennial generation, making its stores more technologically advanced by adding self-service kiosks and even tablets stationed at each table.

These kinds of investments in automation are not only a way to draw in a younger crowd, but they will also help cut down on labor costs, something that is becoming especially important as minimum wage rises.

It’s not all roses for McDonalds, though. While the firm is seeing the number of new customers rise, the amount each person is spending has declined as the breakfast items cost less than traditional offerings.

The firm reported lower-than-expected sales growth in the U.S. during the second quarter, and CEO Steve Easterbrook admitted that the company is struggling against a “challenging environment” in several of its key markets.

MCD is likely to continue to struggle in the coming quarters as it fights to maintain its place at the top of the fast-food chain. However, for long-term investors, its dividend yield of 3% makes waiting for the share price to improve much easier.
