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.
