McDonald's sues meat giants for price manipulationMcDonald's - NYSE: MCD , has sued major meat companies, including JBS - BVMF: JBSS3,), Tyson Foods - NYSE: TSN, Cargill - (private, not publicly traded) and National Beef - (private, not publicly traded) accusing them of manipulating meat prices since 2015. According to the lawsuit, these companies would have intentionally reduced the supply of cattle to increase prices, which has affected McDonald's, raising the cost of its hamburgers. The fast food chain is not only seeking compensation for cost overruns, but is also asking the courts to put an end to these anti-competitive practices. This type of accusations has already appeared in the past for these companies, facing lawsuits from producers and consumers. The outcome of this case could significantly influence meat markets and the food industry in general. Highlights: • McDonald's alleges price manipulation. It could affect the Q3 results presentation (10/29/24) which could send the company's shares to new highs. In any case DCM estimates for this third quarter seem to be higher than the previous quarter. Always the holiday period usually results in better results for restaurant companies. • Companies involved: they are giants of the U.S. meat sector. • Potential effects on meat markets. If the trial goes in favor of McDonald's, this could improve its balance sheet. Technical aspect of McDonald's: In recent weeks it has been recovering its price to the high zone since the last Q2 earnings release, higher than the Q1 quarter. The RSI indicator at 63.89% slightly oversold and using the Larry Williams indicator we see that the uptrend could continue for a while as it is still in the area of 122 points.

McDonald's (MCD): Time for a Correction!We predicted it back in March, and sometimes you have to give yourself a pat on the shoulder when things play out exactly as expected. A little over six months ago, we said that Wave (A) would likely hit $245.88, and what did we get? $244, which is less than a 1% difference from our target. After that, the stock surged by 24% to what now seems like another high. Now we find ourselves back at the range high, and we must treat it with caution. Since March, we've been hoping for this exact scenario to unfold, but we're not ready to jump into a short position on NYSE:MCD just yet! The rise has been pretty strong, and we're seeing the RSI hovering around the overbought area. Given this price level, we could either see a smaller pullback before heading higher—possibly up to the 127.2%-138% Fibonacci extension—or NYSE:MCD could fall lower after losing the mid-range level. In both scenarios, we would like to see lower prices as we still haven't concluded Wave II. We’ve zoomed in on the chart now, but whether we’re right or wrong, we’ll zoom back out to reevaluate when the time is right. This serves as the perfect reminder that good things take time 🚀.

MCD Mcdonalds is breaking out of the rectangle.MCD stock is breaking out of the rectangle with the 13 days Elders Force Index above 0. This is a good signal to Buy and set the target as the height of the rectangle shape The rectangle pattern forms when the price moves within two horizontal lines—one acting as resistance (upper line) and the other as support (lower line). This typically indicates a period of consolidation where buyers and sellers are in relative equilibrium. Duration: The rectangle can last for a few weeks to several months, depending on market conditions. The longer it lasts, the more significant the potential breakout may be. This breakout is significant as it has lasted for many months on end. Direction of Breakout: Bullish Breakout: If the price breaks above the resistance level, it suggests that buying pressure has overcome selling pressure, potentially indicating the start of an upward trend. Volume Confirmation: A breakout is more reliable if accompanied by increased trading volume. High volume during the breakout suggests strong interest and conviction among traders, lending credibility to the price movement. This is why we use the 13-day Elders Force Index Psychological Factors: Breakouts often attract attention from traders and investors who may see the movement as a signal to enter or exit positions. This can create momentum in the direction of the breakout. Conclusion In summary, a breakout from a rectangle pattern signifies a shift in market sentiment and can lead to a new trend. Traders watch for these breakouts closely, as they provide opportunities for profit, but it's essential to consider confirmation through volume and other technical indicators to avoid false signals.

McDonald’s is in love with the 50 monthly moving average.This is the only TA you need for McDonald’s. It’s a consistently strong stock that has only had two red yoy returns in 20 years, and in those 20 years its average drawdown is 12%. We dropped 14% from the year at 288 to 247 and bounced near the 50 MA. I expect this to consolidate for several days or weeks potentially but price target is 300 before EOY. Positions: 131 shares @ 259/share 20 contracts 300c March 2025 @ 4.74/ea

McDonald's Share Price Rises Despite Disappointing ReportMcDonald's Share Price Rises Despite Disappointing Report On Monday, before the start of regular trading, McDonald's reported its second-quarter results: → Earnings per share: actual = $2.97, expected = $3.07; → Gross revenue: actual = $6.49 billion, expected = $6.62 billion; → Net profit for the quarter was $2.02 billion, 12% less than the previous year. The company's management notes that consumers are limiting spending. CEO Chris Kempczinski mentioned that customers are buying fewer items per visit or opting for cheaper products. Many people prefer dining at home, a trend consistent across various regions of the world. Nonetheless, McDonald's share price rose by 3.7% on Monday's trading, making it the leader of the day among Dow Jones stocks. Investors were encouraged by the following: → McDonald's maintains its overall forecast for new stores, capital expenditures, and operating margin for the year, whereas, for example, the Domino's Pizza chain announced it would reduce the number of new openings worldwide; → McDonald's is seeking ways to boost sales, such as the $5 combo meal. Initially launched for just a month, this promotion has been extended through the end of summer. From a technical analysis perspective, McDonald's shares present concerns: → The upward trend (shown in blue), which had been in place for many months, has been broken – the price forcefully breached the lower boundary in May; → However, bulls may find hope in the fact that when the price dropped below the 2023 low of around $246 in mid-July, no further bearish momentum followed – a false bearish breakout of an important extremum formed on the chart. But how optimistic can the prospects be? Jefferies analysts maintain a "buy" rating for McDonald's shares, though they have lowered the target price from $320.00 to $310.00. A significant obstacle to the rise in MCD share price is the resistance block formed by the lower boundary of the channel (as former support) and the $265 level.

McDonald's Earnings Miss For the First Time Since 2020McDonald's second-quarter earnings report fell short of analysts' expectations as higher prices contributed to a decline in foot traffic and comparable store sales. Despite efforts to boost sales with promotions like the "$5 Meal Deal," the fast food giant faced challenges in maintaining revenue and profitability. Key Takeaways: - Revenue and Profits: McDonald's reported $6.49 billion in total revenue for Q2, nearly identical to the same period in 2023, but fell short of the $6.63 billion projected by analysts. Net income dropped 12% year-over-year to $2.02 billion, missing expectations of $2.24 billion. - Comparable Sales Decline: Global comparable sales fell 1% from last year, with U.S. locations experiencing a drop in foot traffic due to higher prices. Sales decreases in France and China offset improvements in Japan and Latin America. - Impact of Promotions: The recent "$5 Meal Deal" promotion provided a late-quarter boost, though its full impact will be more evident in the third quarter. Detailed Analysis: Revenue and Profit Performance In the second quarter of 2024, McDonald's revenue remained flat at $6.49 billion compared to the same period in 2023. Analysts had anticipated a growth in revenue to $6.63 billion, but the reality fell short. This stagnation in revenue was accompanied by a notable decline in net income, which dropped 12% year-over-year to $2.02 billion, compared to analysts' expectations of $2.24 billion. Comparable Sales and Foot Traffic The global comparable sales decline of 1% highlighted the challenges McDonald's faced in maintaining customer engagement amid rising prices. In the U.S., higher menu prices led to reduced foot traffic, contributing to a 0.7% decline in same-store sales. Internationally, sales fell by 1.1%, driven by weaknesses in markets like France and China, which overshadowed gains in Japan and Latin America. Promotional Efforts and Market Response In response to the declining sales, McDonald's launched the "$5 Meal Deal" promotion in an effort to attract price-sensitive customers. While this promotion only impacted the final days of the second quarter, it is expected to have a more significant effect on third-quarter earnings. Early reports suggest that the promotion has been successful, potentially continuing into August to sustain momentum. McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski emphasized the company's commitment to delivering "reliable, everyday value" and accelerating growth drivers such as chicken and loyalty programs. Despite these efforts, the broader economic environment and consumer price sensitivity have posed substantial challenges. Market Reaction Shares of McDonald's have experienced a 15% decline in value so far this year. However, the stock showed a slight recovery, up 3.77% in Monday's trading session following the earnings announcement. This reflects a cautious optimism among investors that the company's strategic initiatives may eventually pay off. The stock has a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 57.83, indicating potential for further growth. Adding to the potential growth is the bullish flag pattern depicted on the chart. Conclusion McDonald's second-quarter performance underscores the difficulties faced by the fast food industry amid rising prices and shifting consumer behaviors. While the "$5 Meal Deal" and other strategic initiatives show promise, the company must navigate a complex landscape to regain growth and profitability.
