As McDonald's Turns to Value Meals, Is Now a Good Time to Buy the Stock?
After a period of heavy inflation left quick-service restaurant prices elevated, McDonald's (MCD -0.47%) has decided to lean into value meals. In fact, on its recent fourth-quarter earnings call, the company used the word "value" or a variation of the word "affordable" more than 50 times.
McDonald's Corporation: A Good Buy At Current Levels
McDonald's focus on value offerings and digital ecosystem, including loyalty programs, supports long-term growth both in the U.S. and globally. Margin prospects are positive, with improvements expected due to non-recurrence of E. coli expenses and leveraging increased sales. Trading at a discount to its 5-year average P/E with a 2.28% dividend yield, McDonald's is a good buy.

Wall Street predicts McDonald's stock price for the next 12 months
On February 10, McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) released its Q4 2024 earnings report, which showed mixed results. While the company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.83 met analysts' expectations, its quarterly net revenues of $6.388 billion fell short of the consensus estimate of $6.477 billion.
McDonald's: I'm Not Buying The Recovery Story
The technicals are strong for McDonald's stock as the chart, moving averages, and indicators all showed bullish signals overall. Most recent earnings do not show a clear recovery in growth, as revenue growth turned marginally negative and EPS growth is flat at zero. The P/S ratio shows a significant disconnect with revenue growth but the P/E ratio shows fairer valuation, leading me to believe that MCD is moderately overvalued currently.

McDonald's: Margins Are The 2025 Story, Technical Upside, Upgrading To Buy
I am upgrading McDonald's from hold to buy due to its improved valuation, strong technical chart, and potential for margin expansion and international growth. Despite a soft Q4, MCD shares rose 4.8%, indicating bullish investor sentiment. The focus is on increasing foot traffic and app-based sales. Management expects operating margins in the mid-to-high 40% range for 2025, with capex between $3-$3.2 billion for new restaurant development.
McDonald's: Not Finding Compelling McValue Here
McDonald's delivered poor Q4 results, with flat revenue, missing Street expectations despite stronger performance in overseas markets. Same-store sales growth in the U.S. declined due to an E. coli outbreak, offsetting the benefits of the company's $5 Meal Deal extension. The company announced a new McValue offering in the U.S. in January, officially extending the Meal Deal through summer, but in my view, this will do little to help trends.
