Is It Too Late to Buy McDonald's Stock Now? A Detailed Look at Investment Prospects
Is It Too Late to Buy McDonald's Stock Now?
It's not too late to make money but it might be too late for a high upside. Since going public in the 1960s, McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) has likely minted more than a few millionaires, given its sensational stock returns. The company has opened tens of thousands of restaurant locations worldwide since going public. And it outsourced much of its restaurant operations to third-party franchisees, boosting corporate margins.
What to Expect from McDonald's Investment
- Stocks go up when there's high investor demand
- McDonald's grows EPS at a single-digit annual rate due to high-margin revenue
- Investors are unlikely to lose money but shouldn't expect market-crushing returns
McDonald's stock offers a good chance to make money with modest stock gains and a growing dividend. But I wouldn't necessarily expect it to be a top stock performer in a portfolio.
