McDonald’s Misses Profit Estimates Amidst Middle East Conflict:McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: NYSE:MCD ) falls short of quarterly profit estimates for the first time in two years. Amidst a backdrop of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and evolving consumer preferences, the iconic fast-food chain faces challenges in maintaining its market dominance. This article delves into the factors behind McDonald's recent performance and the broader implications for its global operations. Growing Consumer Landscape: In an era where consumers are becoming increasingly budget-conscious, McDonald's, known for its affordability, is witnessing a shift in consumer behavior. CEO Chris Kempczinski acknowledged that consumers are becoming more discerning with their spending, signaling a departure from traditional consumption patterns. This shift underscores the need for McDonald's to reassess its pricing strategy and value proposition in the face of changing market dynamics. Impact of Middle East Conflict: The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has cast a shadow over McDonald's international sales, particularly in regions where geopolitical tensions are high. With CFO Ian Borden's warning of a sequential decline in international sales, the company faces headwinds in key markets such as China, where economic sluggishness compounds the challenges posed by geopolitical unrest. Western brands like McDonald's find themselves embroiled in controversy, facing protests and boycott campaigns over perceived political affiliations, further exacerbating the situation. Franchise Disputes and Public Relations Challenges: McDonald's recent controversies, including backlash from franchises in Muslim-majority countries and legal disputes in Malaysia, highlight the complexities of operating a global brand in a politically charged environment. The company's acquisition of its Israeli franchise and legal actions against boycott movements underscore its efforts to manage reputational risks and safeguard its business interests. However, navigating geopolitical sensitivities while maintaining a consistent brand image remains a delicate balancing act for McDonald's. Looking Ahead: As McDonald's grapples with the fallout from missed profit estimates and geopolitical tensions, the road ahead remains uncertain. The company must adapt to evolving consumer preferences, mitigate geopolitical risks, and navigate public relations challenges to regain its footing in the global market. Strategic adjustments in pricing, marketing, and corporate governance will be crucial as McDonald's seeks to restore investor confidence and sustain long-term growth. Technical Outlook Despite the miss in profit estimates, McDonald's stock ( NYSE:MCD ) is up 1.02% trading with a moderate Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 53.12. Longby DEXWireNews3
Down with the clownMy plan is to buy NYSE:MCD puts on Monday before earnings. This idea is based purely on technical analysis, which I think sufficiently supports the theory that the price will go lower in the short term. However, in the broader scope, this drop could produce a great buying opportunity for those looking to go long. The weekly chart shows last week’s solid green candle closed right below the 100 period SMA. NYSE:MCD has not dropped below the 200 period SMA since March 2020, so I think the overall trend will stay intact once this downtrend has concluded. I will support my thesis by analyzing price levels, trend patterns, moving averages, volume analysis, and RMI. On the daily chart, we can see NYSE:MCD has been in a downtrend since late January. A lower high of $279.82 was made last week and unless a higher high is made, we will be trying to find a lower low. This is also clear on the Awesome Oscillator (AO) & MACD indicator. AO confirms the price is in a strong downtrend while MACD is positive and descending back towards the zero line. The Volume profile shows the price is currently in an accumulation zone, however the RMI Trend Sniper just gave a bearish signal. I would expect the price action from here to play out like the previous cycle, which saw a 14% drop after the signal was given. I doubt the price will go down by that much since there is significant historical support at the 0.75 level. Due to the timing of this earnings release and other factors that could influence the market this week, I could see the price going as low as $253 in the near term, before finding support around $258 and reversing back into an uptrend after May. NYSE:MCD is currently in a strong downtrend on the 4hr chart since the end of February. AO and MACD are close to crossing to the negative side, so it appears we will be heading lower soon. I’m looking for an opportunity to buy puts at $277 on Monday at some point. MCD is currently below the 50, 100, & 200 SMAs. The 200 SMA was rejected upon retest which supports the idea that we’re moving to lower lows. It’s also noteworthy that this pattern looks like an inverse cup & handle. The technicals are pointing to further downside for this stock while keeping with the longer trend. This makes for a great swing trading opportunity or a good indicator for buyers that lower prices are yet to come. Let me know what you think of my assessment of NYSE:MCD or if your charts are making you draw a different conclusion. Thanks for reading!Shortby ap769552

McDonalds ready for reversalMcDonalds is showing us a very healthy bullrun. The corporation is bullish since 2003 and increased the value by more than 2000% since 2000. The Israel/Pakistan conflict is bringing the retail sales near middle-east near bankruptcy. After Israeli owner of all 200 restaurants started supporting Israeli army, muslim religions started an offensive campaing against the comapny. This should be a temporary retrace for the stock price, however it still may impact the stock price in a following bear run. Price also got rejected twice at ath level. This could be also a bearish sign and influence following trend.Shortby adam_fx_3

MCD is topped out the long fast food trend may be SHORTMCD lives on people liking what they eat and eating a lot of it. The Happy Meal is famous. into the business model comes the new wave biologics for obesity and diabetes. the shots that cut down the weight and the food addiction. Insurance companies are jumping on the bandwagon. 1/3 of the people eat half the food. Increasingly, those people are seeking treatment. The fastfood executives know this. Same for the sugar beverages. Anyway, enough said. MC on the monthly chart is stuck at a double top even more obvious on a weekly or daily chart. At present it is stuck in a symmetrical triangle compressing price. The mathematical predictive algorithm forecasts price will move down the remainder of this year. I respect the mathematics and understand the medical trend. LLY makes money supplying insulin and now it makes money actually reversing diabetes and obesity. One way or another it makes money and MCD is supplying the patient flow. In the meanwhile if those patients are detoxified and lower their caloric intake, MCD is the one that suffers a regression of the growth story. I am short MCD and add to my position whenever there is a little upward price movement. Yeah, comarketing donuts with Krispy is an act of desperation.Shortby AwesomeAvaniUpdated 2

MCD: Buy on the dip risk for selling shortThis stock has dipped and slid through its support, which was not a strong support level. There is minimal support nearby. And the support above is now a moderate resistance level. There was some mild rotation in the Volume Oscillator and Money Flow indicator patterns followed by pro traders selling. The reversal candlestick pattern failed. However, the risk for selling short is the retail investors and their investment group gurus advising to buy on the dip. Today's candle has buy on the dippers in the mix. by MarthaStokesCMT-TechniTrader3

McDonald's: Is the Feast Over? For McDonald's Corporation, we continue to believe that we are in a long-term downward correction on the daily chart. We completed the first 5-wave cycle with Wave (5), nearly at the all-time high of around $300. Since then, we've developed the subordinate Wave A and potentially also completed Wave B or at least its initial parts. We expect to see Wave C and the overarching Wave (A) at the level of the subordinate Wave A, i.e., at $245.88. However, if Wave B extends beyond 138%, or $319, and we break above this $319 level, our scenario would be invalidated, and we would need to reconsider our analysis. Until then, we anticipate a subordinate Wave ((c)) moving towards subordinate Wave B in a zigzag pattern, as the structure from Wave A to subordinate Wave ((a)) is a five-wave impulse, indicating a zigzag movement is the only possibility. Therefore, we expect a decline to between $267 and $258, followed by a reversal to develop Wave B, potentially at 138% or 127.2%.Longby stromm3

McDonald's:A Time-Tested Investment Recipe for Long-Term SuccessMcDonald's: A Time-Tested Investment Recipe for Long-Term Success McDonald's, an iconic symbol of the fast-food industry, has not only defined the sector but has been a consistent performer, enriching investors globally. Despite its historical success, a prudent investor must evaluate the potential for future returns. Here are three compelling reasons why McDonald's deserves consideration for a long-term investment strategy. 1. Robust Dividend Growth: While rapid stock price surges might not be the norm for McDonald's, its dividend story stands out. With a quarterly dividend of $1.67 and a yield just below 2.2%, McDonald's has a reliable dividend with a positive trajectory. What sets it apart is its consistent annual dividend growth for 47 consecutive years, a trajectory that positions it to achieve Dividend King status. The recent 10% boost to its dividend is a testament to a decade of doubling its payout. The reasonable payout ratio of 53% further ensures stability, allowing for strategic business initiatives. 2. Global Expansion Through Localization: From its humble beginnings in San Bernardino, California, McDonald's has become a global giant with a presence in over 115 countries. Key to its global success is an astute strategy of localization, tailoring its offerings to suit local tastes. Menu adaptations like the Ebi Filet-O in Japan or the McSpicy Paneer in India showcase this approach. In Q3, McDonald's reported sales growth outpacing the US, underscoring the effectiveness of its localization strategy. 3. Franchisee-Centric Business Model: Despite its vast global reach, McDonald's directly operates only a fraction of its outlets. The majority are owned by franchisees, providing McDonald's with a dual revenue stream from franchisee fees and rental income. This shift to a more franchisee-centric model has positively impacted gross profit margins, with rental income carrying higher margins than operational income from food sales. This strategic move enables shareholder-friendly practices like substantial share buybacks and dividends, ensuring enduring value for investors. McDonald's continues to serve up success with a blend of dividend consistency, global adaptability, and a franchisee-centric model. Its ability to evolve with local tastes and navigate the complexities of global markets positions it as a compelling long-term investment. As the golden arches continue to stand tall, McDonald's remains an enduring symbol not just in the fast-food industry but also in the portfolios of savvy, forward-thinking investors. Compared to the current market price of 286.60 USD, McDonald's Corp is Overvalued by 30%.Longby FOREXN1Updated 1116
McDonald's Faces Headwinds as Global Sales Miss for the 1st Time McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ), the global fast-food giant, has hit a speed bump in its impressive growth trajectory, reporting its first quarterly sales miss in nearly four years. The challenges stem primarily from sluggish international business, particularly in the Middle East, China, and India, impacting its bottom line. While overall net profit increased by 7% in the fourth quarter, concerns are emerging about the company's ability to navigate geopolitical tensions, regional conflicts, and changing consumer behaviors. Slow Growth in International Markets: McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) faced unexpected headwinds in its International Developmental Licensed Markets segment, which includes the Middle East, China, and India. Comparable sales in this crucial business division rose only 0.7% in the quarter, significantly missing the estimated 5.5% growth. The Middle East market experienced a notable decline, attributed to the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting misinformation affecting the brand's perception. The fallout from these geopolitical tensions has put a dent in McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) international expansion plans. China's Economic Challenges: China, McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) second-largest market, poses another challenge as consumer spending remains weak despite government support measures. The slow recovery in China has mirrored trends seen by other Western brands, such as Starbucks, highlighting broader economic concerns in the region. Impact of Geopolitical Tensions on Brand Perception: CEO Chris Kempczinski pointed out the "meaningful business impact" caused by the conflict in the Middle East and surrounding regions. The company is among several Western brands facing protests and boycott campaigns due to perceived pro-Israeli stances. This not only affected sales but also raised questions about the long-term impact on McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) brand image and consumer loyalty. Struggling U.S. Business: Even in its home market, signs of weakness are emerging. Traffic at McDonald's U.S. stores saw a significant decline, slumping 13% in October and continuing to decline in November and December. While comparable sales in the U.S. climbed 4.3% in the fourth quarter, just shy of estimates, concerns about sustained growth are starting to surface. Global Same-Store Sales Disappointment: The global same-store sales increased by 3.4% in the quarter, missing estimates of a 4.9% rise. This represents the slowest sales growth in about three years, indicating broader challenges beyond specific regional issues. McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) will need to reassess its strategies to reinvigorate growth and respond to evolving consumer preferences. Conclusion: McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ), a global icon of fast food, is facing a challenging period as it grapples with geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties, and shifting consumer behaviors. The first sales miss in nearly four years underscores the need for the company to adapt swiftly to these changing dynamics, reevaluate its international strategies, and address concerns in both emerging and mature markets. As McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) navigates these challenges, investors and industry observers will be closely watching its initiatives to regain momentum and sustain its position in the competitive global fast-food landscape.by DEXWireNews3
