Stock Analysis: McDonald’s Corporation (MCD)

McDonald’s Corporation is the largest fast-food restaurant company in the world. Its restaurants serve a varied, yet limited, value-priced menu in more than 100 countries around the world.

MCD is the dominant brand in the global fast food industry. In addition to is strong brand, the company enjoys unrivaled scale advantages and substantial international growth opportunities. The company notes on their website that since going public in 1965, it has paid twelve stock splits and an investment of $2,250 in 100 shares at that time, grew to 74,360 shares worth over $4.6 million as of year-end market close on December 31, 2009. This stock is truly one of the great success stories for dividend growth investors and is found in virtually all dividend income based portfolios. I will continue to add to my position in MCD when it is trading below my buy price, which is currently $86.10, and as my allocation allows.
