McDonald’s (MCD) is the world’s largest fast food restaurant chain, serving over 69 million customers daily in over 100 countries in more than 40,000 outlets as of 2021. McDonald’s is best known for its hamburgers, cheeseburgers and french fries, although their menu also includes other items like chicken, fish, fruit, and salads.
Since the largest fast food franchise in the world was created, it has been a money-making machine. The share prices has always kept bullish, facing very well catastrophic scenarios such as the last financial and real estate crisis of 2008. Only in certain specific periods of history can we see that the value dropped more than 40% of its price. In 1975, the oil crisis; 1987, Black Monday; in 2000 with the dotcom crisis and now with the COVID19 pandemic. If you are a long-term investor, this MCD stock should definitely be in your portfolio.
