If someone offered me the chance to purchase stock in McDonald's Corp. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
I'll start off with the info on this stock:
- Previous Close - $99.92
- 52-Week Range - $83.31 - $103.70
- Market Cap - $100.2B
- P/E Ratio - 18.54
- Dividend (Yield) - $3.08 (3.1%)
- (Dividend Pay Date 03/15/13)
- Volume - 100
- Average Daily Volume - 4,702,380
- Current FY EPS - $5.77
- 11/15/12 - $84.12 up to $101.91 on 4/18/13
According to all this information presented above, I would definitely buy it because it is showing a more than moderate increase in the last 5 months. Up $17.79 since November, it shows no signs of slowing its increase any time soon. With new packaging rolling out on a global scale as well, who knows how much revenue that will bring.
"McDonald's remains diligently focused on enhancing our menu, restaurants and the overall customer experience to become more relevant to today's consumers," said McDonald's President and Chief Executive Officer Don Thompson. "While the Company's results for the quarter reflected difficult prior year comparisons and the ongoing impact of global economic headwinds, we continue our efforts to build market share and deliver sustained profitable growth for all stakeholders."
- By McDonald's rolling out new menus, and enhancing the customer experience, they have a good chance of boosting their overall profit. They show signs of bouncing back in the next financial quarter after a slow start.
