Intro
Mc Donald’s Corporation is a chain of
hamburger fast food restaurants. It is the world’s
largest chain in this industry serving up to 64
million customers daily all around the world.
Today McDonalds is presented in 119 countries
with its headquarters still in the United States. It
operates over 33,000 locations worldwide. Each
fast food restaurant is owned by either the
corporation itself, a franchisee, or an affiliate.
The company has an intricate and different
business design. While expanding to franchise
owning, the company itself still owns and
operates over 15% of their restaurants. They have
continuously increased their dividends for their
shareholders, for 25 consecutive years.

each representing the distance to the nearest McDonald’s.
Within the next year, McDonald’s plans to spend $2.9
billion in capital expenditures. This will include the
opening of more than 1,300 restaurants and 2,400
renovations of currently operating locations.
5. Current Stock Prices and Historical Trends 5
McDonald’s Corporation currently has a 52-week high of $95.45 and a
low of $72.14. They are afloat around $93.00 currently. The stock has
steadily increased 22% for the past year, which is clearly better than the
market at large considering the current economic downturn.
The company has affirmed an increase in their targets of annual growth
from 3% to 5%, operating income from 6% to 7%, and their return on
invested capital in the high teens.
Reasons for their growth include the broadening of their dollar menu,
beneficial to those who are watching their money on food intake.
It has been noted that the company continues to make a significant part
of their profitable income on their McCafe beverages. The prices of their
McCafe line are comparable to that of Starbucks (SBUX) and other
leading beverage companies.
6. The Company’s recent announcement to their Board of Directors 6
declaring their most recent quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per share of
their common stock to shareholders of December 15th. This is significant
because it represents an increase of 15% over their previous dividend rate.
As shown in the historical chart above, for one year, McDonald’s growth
from November 2010 to November 2011 has substantially grown
disregarding all of the economic barriers that have slowed down growth
all across the stock market. In comparison to its competitor Jack and the
Box, the two follow a similar pattern but McDonald’s still stays above in its
market value.
