McDonald's Corp (MCD)

CAPS Rating:

The Company franchises and operates McDonald's restaurants in the food service industry. These restaurants serve a varied, yet limited, value-priced menu in a number of countries around the world.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Talk about great management, and great strategic decision making....this company turned around their business really well by changing their image. I'll get in for the long-term on this pull-back.....I think they'll continue to evolve.

Recs 0 (MCD) caryc923 (52.23) Submitted: 5/12/08 11:52 AM : Start Price: $60.06 MCD Score: 0.91 Sad to say, everyone eats McDonald's. Even with the bad press on all the bad health discussions. People still eat there. I fail to see the charm but business is business, if you give people what they want, they will buy it. I hardly even eat there myself. Being such a global giant, they are also ready, and easily do, jump on the perverbial bandwagon of current trends. Their newest jump, Starbuck's-like coffee, iced, just in time for summer, and without the high price sticker of Starbuck's. They stay innovative and new (they just tore down a very decent building in our town, just to build a new shiny one, really, the old one just did not look old, wish I had that kind of money to waste). They react to market faster than day traders. They are global and gung ho, still after all these years. I still don't see the attraction, but I still never see the order lines ever empty, EVER.

Even though the McCafe idea will probably hurt them they have a strong presence worldwide and plan on adding 600 net additions in stores in the next year.
