McDONALDS:FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS+PRICE ACTION & NEXT TARGET|LONG🔔There was perhaps no greater source of criticism against McDonald's for missing out on the opportunity to brag about chicken sandwiches than its own franchise owners, but after the fast-food giant's second-quarter earnings report, they should feel like masters of the situation. McDonald's reported sales and revenue that exceeded Wall Street expectations, thanks in large part to the success of the three chicken sandwiches it launched in February. The company saw double-digit growth in comparable sales in the U.S., not only from the pandemic recession but also on a two-year basis. The fast-food chain may have been too late to enter the chicken sandwich war, but it is quickly making up for a lost time. When McDonald's finally entered the fray, there was every reason to believe that its impact would be marginal. Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen had a good 18-month head start on its competitor, and other fast-food and fast-casual chains followed suit to join what was becoming a cultural phenomenon. Even chicken king Chick-fil-A perfected its chicken sandwich to stay relevant. Nevertheless, McDonald's persisted, seemingly oblivious to what was happening around it, but taking fading fire from its franchise owners, who began to act to develop their sandwich. They saw that they were losing customers, and they needed to add something to their menu to generate buzz. That's why launching a corporate-backed three chicken sandwich initiative had all the hallmarks of being too little and too late. Nevertheless, it turned out to be exactly what McDonald's customers were looking for. Mobile location data from analytics company Placer.ai showed that consumers rushed to McDonald's literally at a moment's notice. She noted that on the day sandwiches appeared on the menu, foot traffic at McDonald's restaurants was up 19 percent from a year earlier, and there was an increase in the days that followed. Keep in mind that these numbers were compared to attendance rates before the pandemic led to the eventual closure of the restaurants' dining rooms. That said, the growth was even well above 2019 levels. Placer.ai Vice President of Marketing Ethan Chernofsky said: "The launch was so significant that it fundamentally changed the trajectory of McDonald's. While it helped lift first-quarter results at the time, it's clear that the second quarter has paid off as well. McDonald's sales figures were up 26 percent from a year ago and 15 percent from two years ago. McDonald's really hit a marketing extravaganza this past quarter. In addition to the fact that the chicken sandwiches resonated with consumers, the company also had a big hit with its chicken nuggets promotion featuring BTS, the South Korean K-pop (or Korean pop) boy band. The company also experienced a significant rebound globally, with sales growth of 2.6% in international markets. The growth was more modest than in the U.S., as many overseas markets still face tight COVID-19 restrictions. However, McDonald's is not stopping there. Building on its partnership with BTS, Travis Scott, and J Balvin, the company announced a new celebrity pairing, this time with rapper Saweetie. The company will introduce the "Saweetie Meal," which includes a Big Mac, chicken nuggets, fries, a drink, and sauces, including Saweetie and Sour Sauce. McDonald's may not be about to ruin the feathers of leaders Popeyes and Chick-fil-A just yet, as both chains, according to Placer.ai, have seen an increase in traffic themselves. But now, at least, it has a fighting chance. With the recent release of its own Ch'King chicken sandwich by Popeyes, a sister chain of Burger King, the sibling rivalry from Restaurant Brands International could go in McDonald's favor. Until the company introduced its new chicken sandwiches, McDonald's stock was up much less. Since March, however, the company's stock is up about 20 percent, and the restaurant's stock is now looking better than it has in a long time. Focusing on its core menu, giving customers and franchise owners the food they want, and smart partnerships have put McDonald's back on top.

MCDMcDonald’s released better-thanexpected first-quarter financials. The top line rebounded 9% from a year earlier (up 5% on a constant-currency basis), to $5.125 billion, just ahead of our $5.100 billion forecast. Systemwide sales rose 12% (8%) and comparable-store sales increased 7.5%, reflecting growth in all geographic segments. The United States led the charge, posting a same-store sales rise of 13.6%. On our shores, there were fewer operating restrictions than in other regions, and the company continued to benefit from its digital platforms, delivery services, and vast network of drive-thrus. Moreover, the average check increased as people bought for families and groups, not just themselves, and the strength was seen across all dayparts. Marketing initiatives also helped. In the International Developmental Licensed market, comps were up 6.4%, driven by sequential improvement throughout the quarter, primarily in China and Japan. The International Operated market only notched a 0.6% comp increase, as negative results in France, Germany, and other parts of Europe were partially offset by strength in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. All told, it was a nice bounce-back quarter for McDonald’s, and global same-store sales and revenues topped comparable 2019 levels, despite operating restrictions. On the profitability front, adjusted earnings per share clocked in at $1.92, up 31% from a year earlier and ahead of our $1.80 forecast. The company was able to leverage the higher sales and greater average check to increase margins, while favorable foreign-currency movements provided a $0.06-per-share tailwind. We look for the momentum to continue. The U.S. has been making notable progress against COVID-19, though we still anticipate McDonald’s enviable position in the delivery/drive-thru/digital game to keep it top of mind for consumers, even as more-normalized spending patterns slowly emerge. As for the stock, capital appreciation potential is subdued at the recent quotation. However, conservative investors will certainly appreciate the equity’s high marks for Safety and Price Stability, along with the respectable dividend yield. Matthew E.

McDonalds +20% Upside Trade?MCD's has consolidated nicely right along its recent all time high set months ago at $231.91 and is doing so off of consecutive higher highs and higher lows on significant time frames. On the monthly, we also see that McDonalds is putting in a bullish engulfing candle. There are still a few weeks left in the month, but with the price already being in blue sky territory, and very little bearish momentum in sight, there does not appear to be anything in its price chart to hold it back from running all the way to its first fib extension at around $297.88 roughly, based on a retracement from its previous all time high in October 2020, down to the swing low in March 2020. From the time of writing this that would be a 25% gain approximately. Stop loss just below $231.91 and $221.29 would be wise (just incase it wicks). Be very cautious with a close below $221.29 as there is plenty of room to fall swiftly if volume/bids fail to come in.

MCD bull put spread 10 DTE May 21, 27% ROI Potential downward channel with slope translation from the selling highs. Almost into an aggressive buying and demand zone in the 5m timeframe not seen on the hourly chart. 4h trend is up, 1h trend is sideways caught between 1h supply and demand zones, just as I like it. It's a wide 2.5 strike width, but position size reduced. This morning was a huge gap down day for many stocks and I missed many entries at the open. But MCD declined into the strike zone during lunch and I was away from computer. As it was rallying I was able to sell for 0.54, 27% roi, but it's out 10 DTE Sold strike is tucked behind a spike low.

Trading Idea - #McDonaldsBUY: ENTRY: 235.10 USD TARGET: 260.00 USD (+10%) STOP: 221.50 USD 1.) The former downward trend (Oct.2020 - Mar.2021) was ended by a strong upward movement, which broke through the resistance level at 230 USD. Technically speaking, this means an upward movement continuation. 2.) The business of the world's largest fast food group has recovered. The reason for this are the many drive-in restaurants especially in the US, as well as the delivery service and the digital offers. 3.) For 2021, McDonalds is considered a profiteer of the step-by-step reopening in the pandemic.

Daily McD's treatmentThis is your monthly forecast for MCD's, my pattern was unique observed a strange presences of a market fall, but this could be a massive correction before an actual stock market crash that my belief will start 2022 after the massive market correction rebound, but the odds of that happen is very little, it just a belief. Other than that, its a forecast, like any weather man, the only job that cant be blamed or fired if wrong. This is not financial advise, always do your own due diligences. thank you, if you want me to forecast a stock, just simply follow me and comment a ticker and i will be happy to do it next business day! have a happy trading session tomorrow :)
