SBUX gets another earnings miss SHORTSBUX on the dialy chart may be another candidate to short while the general market remains challenging in the face of the loss of anticipated rate cuts and ongoing geopolitical risk. SBUX has been trending down for nearly six months and the earnings miss add emphaisis to the trend. At this juncture, there is nothing to suggest a turnaround. I am adding SBUX to my short list. I will look for pivot highs on a lower time frame and average into an overall position in pieces.

McDonald’s Misses Profit Estimates Amidst Middle East Conflict:McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: NYSE:MCD ) falls short of quarterly profit estimates for the first time in two years. Amidst a backdrop of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and evolving consumer preferences, the iconic fast-food chain faces challenges in maintaining its market dominance. This article delves into the factors behind McDonald's recent performance and the broader implications for its global operations. Growing Consumer Landscape: In an era where consumers are becoming increasingly budget-conscious, McDonald's, known for its affordability, is witnessing a shift in consumer behavior. CEO Chris Kempczinski acknowledged that consumers are becoming more discerning with their spending, signaling a departure from traditional consumption patterns. This shift underscores the need for McDonald's to reassess its pricing strategy and value proposition in the face of changing market dynamics. Impact of Middle East Conflict: The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has cast a shadow over McDonald's international sales, particularly in regions where geopolitical tensions are high. With CFO Ian Borden's warning of a sequential decline in international sales, the company faces headwinds in key markets such as China, where economic sluggishness compounds the challenges posed by geopolitical unrest. Western brands like McDonald's find themselves embroiled in controversy, facing protests and boycott campaigns over perceived political affiliations, further exacerbating the situation. Franchise Disputes and Public Relations Challenges: McDonald's recent controversies, including backlash from franchises in Muslim-majority countries and legal disputes in Malaysia, highlight the complexities of operating a global brand in a politically charged environment. The company's acquisition of its Israeli franchise and legal actions against boycott movements underscore its efforts to manage reputational risks and safeguard its business interests. However, navigating geopolitical sensitivities while maintaining a consistent brand image remains a delicate balancing act for McDonald's. Looking Ahead: As McDonald's grapples with the fallout from missed profit estimates and geopolitical tensions, the road ahead remains uncertain. The company must adapt to evolving consumer preferences, mitigate geopolitical risks, and navigate public relations challenges to regain its footing in the global market. Strategic adjustments in pricing, marketing, and corporate governance will be crucial as McDonald's seeks to restore investor confidence and sustain long-term growth. Technical Outlook Despite the miss in profit estimates, McDonald's stock ( NYSE:MCD ) is up 1.02% trading with a moderate Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 53.12.

MCD is topped out the long fast food trend may be SHORTMCD lives on people liking what they eat and eating a lot of it. The Happy Meal is famous. into the business model comes the new wave biologics for obesity and diabetes. the shots that cut down the weight and the food addiction. Insurance companies are jumping on the bandwagon. 1/3 of the people eat half the food. Increasingly, those people are seeking treatment. The fastfood executives know this. Same for the sugar beverages. Anyway, enough said. MC on the monthly chart is stuck at a double top even more obvious on a weekly or daily chart. At present it is stuck in a symmetrical triangle compressing price. The mathematical predictive algorithm forecasts price will move down the remainder of this year. I respect the mathematics and understand the medical trend. LLY makes money supplying insulin and now it makes money actually reversing diabetes and obesity. One way or another it makes money and MCD is supplying the patient flow. In the meanwhile if those patients are detoxified and lower their caloric intake, MCD is the one that suffers a regression of the growth story. I am short MCD and add to my position whenever there is a little upward price movement. Yeah, comarketing donuts with Krispy is an act of desperation.

CMG to split price SHORTCMG has announced a split. Makes sense to make shares more affordable but fractionals are widely available. CMG may be fundamentally challenged by the underpinnings of the fast food markets. that is overeating and rising prices. In the meanwhile the anti-obesity and anti- diabetes trends are pushing hard led by the bological injectable meds from LLY, NVO and others. One third of the people eat one half of the food and now an effective treatment for that addiction is becoming increasingly available. The writing is on the wall and food biz executives can read that writing. Enough said. I am going short on CMG. It's best days of growth may behind it. The company announced plans for 4000 more stores nationwide. Really? Time will tell. I vote with my wallet. My position will not be small. The predictive algo has its forecast. My education included both medicine and engineering. I understand the power of biology and mathematics. I deeply respect both.

McDonald's: Is the Feast Over? For McDonald's Corporation, we continue to believe that we are in a long-term downward correction on the daily chart. We completed the first 5-wave cycle with Wave (5), nearly at the all-time high of around $300. Since then, we've developed the subordinate Wave A and potentially also completed Wave B or at least its initial parts. We expect to see Wave C and the overarching Wave (A) at the level of the subordinate Wave A, i.e., at $245.88. However, if Wave B extends beyond 138%, or $319, and we break above this $319 level, our scenario would be invalidated, and we would need to reconsider our analysis. Until then, we anticipate a subordinate Wave ((c)) moving towards subordinate Wave B in a zigzag pattern, as the structure from Wave A to subordinate Wave ((a)) is a five-wave impulse, indicating a zigzag movement is the only possibility. Therefore, we expect a decline to between $267 and $258, followed by a reversal to develop Wave B, potentially at 138% or 127.2%.

McDonald's:A Time-Tested Investment Recipe for Long-Term SuccessMcDonald's: A Time-Tested Investment Recipe for Long-Term Success McDonald's, an iconic symbol of the fast-food industry, has not only defined the sector but has been a consistent performer, enriching investors globally. Despite its historical success, a prudent investor must evaluate the potential for future returns. Here are three compelling reasons why McDonald's deserves consideration for a long-term investment strategy. 1. Robust Dividend Growth: While rapid stock price surges might not be the norm for McDonald's, its dividend story stands out. With a quarterly dividend of $1.67 and a yield just below 2.2%, McDonald's has a reliable dividend with a positive trajectory. What sets it apart is its consistent annual dividend growth for 47 consecutive years, a trajectory that positions it to achieve Dividend King status. The recent 10% boost to its dividend is a testament to a decade of doubling its payout. The reasonable payout ratio of 53% further ensures stability, allowing for strategic business initiatives. 2. Global Expansion Through Localization: From its humble beginnings in San Bernardino, California, McDonald's has become a global giant with a presence in over 115 countries. Key to its global success is an astute strategy of localization, tailoring its offerings to suit local tastes. Menu adaptations like the Ebi Filet-O in Japan or the McSpicy Paneer in India showcase this approach. In Q3, McDonald's reported sales growth outpacing the US, underscoring the effectiveness of its localization strategy. 3. Franchisee-Centric Business Model: Despite its vast global reach, McDonald's directly operates only a fraction of its outlets. The majority are owned by franchisees, providing McDonald's with a dual revenue stream from franchisee fees and rental income. This shift to a more franchisee-centric model has positively impacted gross profit margins, with rental income carrying higher margins than operational income from food sales. This strategic move enables shareholder-friendly practices like substantial share buybacks and dividends, ensuring enduring value for investors. McDonald's continues to serve up success with a blend of dividend consistency, global adaptability, and a franchisee-centric model. Its ability to evolve with local tastes and navigate the complexities of global markets positions it as a compelling long-term investment. As the golden arches continue to stand tall, McDonald's remains an enduring symbol not just in the fast-food industry but also in the portfolios of savvy, forward-thinking investors. Compared to the current market price of 286.60 USD, McDonald's Corp is Overvalued by 30%.

CMG - it might be expensive but the value is there LONGCMG on the weekly chart has been uptrending for a year after being rangebound sideways for a year. It has seen a volume spike and corresponding price action with the current earnings beat Price rose 60% in the past year and 16% YTD. This is not linear and nor is it parabolic. The MACD supports the bullish momentum observation in the price action while the RS indicator shows good strength in both shorter and longer time frames. This is a blue chip megacap for sure. While it is not technology like the MAg7, the food business is lucrative. the CEO in the earnings call announced plans to expand to 7000 stores nationally. This is ambitious. Those who are ambitious investors or traders and are well funded could consider adding some shares or even a few options of CMG. I am going with a few options OTM at $3000 six months out. I believe that I will be well rewarded for the risk taken especially given the expansion plans and the historical track record here.

McDonald's Faces Headwinds as Global Sales Miss for the 1st Time McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ), the global fast-food giant, has hit a speed bump in its impressive growth trajectory, reporting its first quarterly sales miss in nearly four years. The challenges stem primarily from sluggish international business, particularly in the Middle East, China, and India, impacting its bottom line. While overall net profit increased by 7% in the fourth quarter, concerns are emerging about the company's ability to navigate geopolitical tensions, regional conflicts, and changing consumer behaviors. Slow Growth in International Markets: McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) faced unexpected headwinds in its International Developmental Licensed Markets segment, which includes the Middle East, China, and India. Comparable sales in this crucial business division rose only 0.7% in the quarter, significantly missing the estimated 5.5% growth. The Middle East market experienced a notable decline, attributed to the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting misinformation affecting the brand's perception. The fallout from these geopolitical tensions has put a dent in McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) international expansion plans. China's Economic Challenges: China, McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) second-largest market, poses another challenge as consumer spending remains weak despite government support measures. The slow recovery in China has mirrored trends seen by other Western brands, such as Starbucks, highlighting broader economic concerns in the region. Impact of Geopolitical Tensions on Brand Perception: CEO Chris Kempczinski pointed out the "meaningful business impact" caused by the conflict in the Middle East and surrounding regions. The company is among several Western brands facing protests and boycott campaigns due to perceived pro-Israeli stances. This not only affected sales but also raised questions about the long-term impact on McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) brand image and consumer loyalty. Struggling U.S. Business: Even in its home market, signs of weakness are emerging. Traffic at McDonald's U.S. stores saw a significant decline, slumping 13% in October and continuing to decline in November and December. While comparable sales in the U.S. climbed 4.3% in the fourth quarter, just shy of estimates, concerns about sustained growth are starting to surface. Global Same-Store Sales Disappointment: The global same-store sales increased by 3.4% in the quarter, missing estimates of a 4.9% rise. This represents the slowest sales growth in about three years, indicating broader challenges beyond specific regional issues. McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) will need to reassess its strategies to reinvigorate growth and respond to evolving consumer preferences. Conclusion: McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ), a global icon of fast food, is facing a challenging period as it grapples with geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties, and shifting consumer behaviors. The first sales miss in nearly four years underscores the need for the company to adapt swiftly to these changing dynamics, reevaluate its international strategies, and address concerns in both emerging and mature markets. As McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ) navigates these challenges, investors and industry observers will be closely watching its initiatives to regain momentum and sustain its position in the competitive global fast-food landscape.

MCD, WILL EARNINGS INCLUDE A HAPPY MEAL?On quick glance, maybe a little bit of a happy meal, but they definitely gonna forget the toy. Why does this chart look like a child drew it? Well, it was drawn on my one of the streams I did back in oct and since the lines are still holding and trends are still holding, I figured I'd share it again. my last post was deleted because I used a bad word. which is fair. Price is sitting right under major rejection, if it breaks over, the rocket can continue, but if it can't, lookout. I think it's getting close to the top and earnings takes it maybe up a little past 300, but more than likely, we start to see the downside take over for a bit. Again, fully depends on the trend and what happens with earnings because things can change fast with these numbers but as of now. I'd say bears get favoring.

$MCD Double Top Short With A Tight StopThe NYSE:MCD (McDonald's Corporation) stock is exhibiting a double top pattern, which is often interpreted as a bearish signal in technical analysis. This pattern is characterized by the stock reaching a high price point twice, with a moderate decline in between, forming an 'M' shape. Given this pattern, a trading strategy could be to enter a short position, capitalizing on the anticipated downward movement following the formation of the double top. However, it's crucial to implement a tight stop-loss order to minimize potential losses. This stop-loss could be set just above the level of the blue line that marks the recent highs, as shown on the daily chart. If the stock's price closes above this blue line, it may invalidate the double top pattern and suggest a potential upward trend, triggering the stop-loss and limiting the downside risk of the short position. This strategy hinges on the assumption that the double top pattern will lead to a price decline, but it's important to be prepared for alternative scenarios, which is where the tight stop-loss comes into play.

Why I Buy MacDonalds With Both HandsMCD tanked impressively lately. I had no clue why. Then I checked the News, which I very rarely do. There was one article that made absolutely no sense to me: "Concerns about weight-loss drugs: There are some concerns that the growing popularity of weight-loss drugs, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, could take away demand from food companies like McDonald's." To me, this writer has inverse Logic. Why? Because if I would love the (crappy) MCD Food, and I could just take a Pill and loose weight, I would probably eat more at MCD. However, I buy with both hands since MCD is a the Center-Line of this Pull-Back Fork, as soon I have some indication. (Heads Up: Earnings ahead!) And remember: You can buy, even when you sell (...hint: Puts). It's the Buffet way. If price close in the money at end of DTE, you got the Put's premium, AND the Stock for a way cheaper price. If price is closing out of the money after DTE, you keep the premium....double Whopper §8-) Away for a healthy Burger at $MyOneKitchen.

McDonald (MCD) Aiming Higher McDonald's (MCD) beat earnings estimates for the third quarter as higher menu prices boosted sales growth. Global systemwide sales — which include sales at company-owned and franchised restaurants — increased 11%. Global same-store sales jumped 8.8%, higher than analysts' estimates of 7.79%, per Bloomberg consensus data. Revenue jumped 14% year-over-year to $6.69 billion, higher than estimates of $6.52 billion. Adjusted earnings per share came in at 3.19, up 19% from last year. Shares of McDonald's are down nearly 3% year-to-date, trailing behind Restaurant Brands International (QSR) which is up nearly 2% year-to-date, but ahead of YUM! Brands (YUM) shares, which are down nearly 7%. As consumers buckled down on where they spent their money, McDonald's says it got a boost in the US. In the US, sales benefitted from higher menu prices, new marketing campaigns, and growing digital and delivery orders. Beginning in August, the company launched its As Featured In Meal campaign that showed meals that have appeared in films, movies or TV shoes. Baird analyst David Tarantino said McDonald's typically gains foot traffic when there are "mounting macroeconomic uncertainties" in a note to clients, adding that the Golden Arches is "one of the best positioned brands...to navigate a tougher backdrop." During the financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, sales growth averaged 3.4% in the U.S. and 6.9% in Europe, he said. The company also reported systemwide digital sales — which includes sales made on the app, delivery or on the kiosk — totaled $9 billion across its six biggest markets, making up 40% of total sales. That's more than Q2, which saw $8 billion in digital sales. Price Momentum MCD is trading near the bottom of its 52-week range and below its 200-day simple moving average. Investors have been pushing the share price lower, and the stock still appears to have downward momentum. This is a negative sign for the stock's future value, but we may expect a consolidation move after reaching its Lower Low (LL) we will expect an upward momentum.

MCDONALDS Very rare yearly buy opportunity close to be confirmedMcDonalds Corporation (MCD) has been trading on a Fibonacci Channel Up since late 2020 and since the May 2023 High, has started a correction that twice in October hit the bottom (Higher Lows trend-line) of the pattern. On the October 06 bottom in particular, the 1D RSI reached 20.00, which means massively oversold on strength. Since the 2020 COVID crash, the RSI approached/ hit this level another 3 times, all of which have been enormous buy opportunities on an annual basis. The respective rebounds that followed quickly hit first the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level before going for a new All Time High (ATH) and the buy confirmation every time has been the RSI breaking above its Lower Highs trend-line. As a result, we are waiting for that closing above it (right now it has marginally broken) in order to enter a (still) low risk buy and target 288.00 (0.786 Fib) on the medium-term. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

McDonald's: Unwrapping the Unique Investment Opportunity Unwrapping the Unique Investment Opportunity: The McDonald's Story McDonald's, the golden arches that symbolize fast food worldwide, may not shine with the glamour of tech giants, but it offers a distinct investment opportunity. Beyond its role as a fast-food behemoth, McDonald's operates on a unique model that sets it apart from traditional restaurant businesses. In this article, we'll uncover three key facts about McDonald's stock that make it an intriguing investment prospect. McDonald's Is Not What It Seems While many might see McDonald's as just another restaurant chain, a closer look reveals a different story. In reality, McDonald's functions more like a real estate investment trust (REIT) masquerading as a restaurant company. The company owns the physical buildings housing its franchisees' operations and collects rental income from these properties. Additionally, McDonald's takes a percentage fee based on sales and an initial fee when a new franchise is established. These real estate-related activities contribute significantly to McDonald's income, anchoring its success to the stability of the real estate market. The steady stream of rental payments also provides a reliable source of income. This unique structure shields McDonald's from the volatility of the restaurant industry, helping it weather industry ups and downs more gracefully. McDonald's Financial Health In the first half of 2023, McDonald's reported impressive revenue exceeding $12 billion, with a remarkable 62% stemming from its franchise operations. The remaining 38% is attributed to the 5% of restaurants it directly owns. What's particularly intriguing is that, despite company-owned restaurants accounting for slightly over half of its total expenses, they contributed only a fraction to its operating income, which totaled approximately $5.6 billion, primarily driven by its franchised locations. After accounting for interest, non-operating expenses, and taxes, McDonald's achieved a GAAP net income of $4.1 billion in the first half of the year, marking a significant 78% surge compared to the same period the previous year. McDonald's also stands out as a dividend payer, offering an annual payout of $6.08 per share, resulting in a dividend yield of 2.3%, surpassing the S&P 500's 1.6% yield. Notably, McDonald's has consistently increased its dividend annually since 1976, signaling that rising profits are likely to fuel further dividend growth. McDonald's Presents an Attractive Valuation Beyond its financial prowess, McDonald's offers an appealing valuation. Excluding the brief dip in early 2020, its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 24 is near its five-year lows for this earnings multiple. This valuation places it in a similar range to peers like Restaurant Brands International and Yum! Brands. This relatively low P/E ratio enhances McDonald's attractiveness, especially considering its consistent dividend growth and steadily rising profits, which have contributed to its outperformance compared to both the S&P 500 and its industry peers. Conclusion McDonald's success story is rooted in its astute business strategy. By focusing on real estate ownership and a franchise-centric model, the company has not only bolstered its revenue but also established a remarkable degree of stability in an otherwise unpredictable industry. This unique approach has resulted in consistent growth in revenue, net income, and dividend payments. Coupled with its comparatively low P/E ratio, McDonald's emerges as an attractive option for investors seeking opportunities in the restaurant sector or those searching for a reliable source of dividend income. In summary, McDonald's has effectively harnessed its distinctive business model to create a compelling investment proposition, making it a stock worthy of consideration for discerning investors.

McDonald's Corp: Bearish Deep Crab with Double PPO ConfirmationWe have a Bearish Deep Crab with a PPO Confirmation Arrow and a Circle with MACD Bearish Divergence and have broken below the faster moving EMAs. I would next expect this to make at least a 61.8% Retrace, which would take it back to about $185. This makes the third major Dow 30 Stock that has signalled something ultra bearish like this; the other two being UNH and MSFT, which can be seen below: We are likely looking at a major correction coming to the Dow Jones Industrial Average very soon.
