MCD Stock Is Better Than Most Others Out There!

[@TheDGICrab]

MCD is perhaps my favorite stock of all time. It’s a qualified dividend that is a sneaky real estate play since they own the land under their restaurants.

Hi Sven, thanks for hearing my biggest wish and making this video. Best KZbin channel!

[@johnw8938]

I go to a nearby MCD's 2-3 times a week, and always when I travel, for their coffee only. it's consistently good and a reasonable (low) price...Buffet & Munger too have talked about "would have/could have/should have" invested in MCD's (in hindsight), but did not, b/c they originally didn't think it had a competitive advantage over the other fast food restaurants. IMAO, it does and MCD's advantages over the others in the US, include their locations and how well the restaurants are managed and the employees trained - I always marvel at their consistent speed and efficiency at the drive-thru.... Outstanding analysis and insights as always, including the overview at 3:37. Thank you..

[@maxdancelife]

I'm not sure how coffee is in the US McDonalds, but coffee at McDonald's is awful in Poland. Maybe, they allow such quality because other places also serve poor coffee. Fun fact, they have a cool professional coffee machine in the house, but they use an automatic coffee machine. When I asked why they don't use professional coffee machines the answer was we don't have time for that... Sure, it's much easier just to push one button instead of doing the whole coffee brew process...

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

@3:58 According to ValueLine, MCD has 5-yr EPS & dividend growth rates of 8% and dividends are expected to grow by 8.5%. So if MCD continues this trend through 2034, EPS would be $25.78 and dividends $13.45. 11 P/E would be $284/share with 4.74% dividend yield and 5.19% yield on cost (5.56% yield on Sven's $242). Being paid over 5% yield to wait on the market bump up the valuation multiple on a stalwart like MCD doesn't seem like such a poor bargain.

[@jansehnal177]

Great point at the end of the video. I'm also thinking about the possibility of a valuation drop in the future. MCD has an ROC of around 20. I looked at WMT between 2000 and 2010. WMT had a similar ROC at that time, around 20. Earnings per share were up, but the share price hasn't moved anywhere in ten years.

Sven, good point on the key risk- moving to a lower PE of 11 over time. Interesting to hear what can cause it considering that PE does not go down at current FED rates and likely direction of the rates is either down or stay the same (otherwise it will be hard for the US to service their debt)

[@BarsonlineOrg2013]

Ok PE will not go down, then it will double again in 10 years! But with a real inflation rate of an average of 6-9% per annum it will be a loss.... :((( Better to buy it cheaper, then on the more expensive side (general rule) ;) ...or you have to hold it 20 years to be really happy with your investment. ;)

[@musad6763]

Add to that the taxation benefits starting from 2017 with Trump tax law. An increase back would reduce EPS and thus also impacts quite a lot the stock price.

[@massafelipe8063]

Amazing explanation of how P/E and earnings work, thx Sven.

[@asdfasd95]

Potentially a random question, but do you ever consider the implication of taxes on your returns? Since MCD is a US company, you'll obviously have to pay 10-30% witholding tax depending on your location (15% for me since I'm in the UK) and that'll eat into your dividend return over time. Arguably, not that much with MCD, but you get my point. Thanks for the videos! Long-time fan here :)

[@TheBooban]

But then you don't pay UK taxes on them, so it evens out. Don't it? Or if you have it in a retirement account, you get it back, don't you? You have to invest in countries which have these kinds of international agreements and find out for yourself.

[@asdfasd95]

@@TheBooban yes, I don't pay UK taxes, but I pay US taxes and that's 15% taken straight off the bat, meaning a 2.5% yield ends up being 2.125% which isn't an astronomical difference, but does add up if you hold long-term. Given that Sven includes dividends in the total returns (as he should), I wonder if he considers those taxes. Obviously, there's no way around, but it could potentially turn 10% into 9% or so if the main source of returns is dividends

[@TheBooban]

@@asdfasd95 well yes, but he can’t cover taxes for every country. Nobody anywhere reminds viewers of paying tax. You just have to pay it and figure it out. It’s not a factor when evaluating the actual stock. Btw, no, I don’t pay these taxes. Everyone has a special retirement account to not pay dividend tax. So no, no point bringing up taxes.

[@asdfasd95]

​@@TheBooban I feel like you're completely missing my point, my friend :D I'm not asking him to cover taxes for every country, but rather does he consider them when he invests himself, hence why I was addressing him... Not to mention that the US charges all foreign investors with a witholding tax so this applies to basically anyone who is not a US resident...

[@TheBooban]

@@asdfasd95 oh, that’s a personal calculation and I assume he does like everyone else. But since its the same no matter what you do, at least I, don’t think about it too much. Point is to just maximize whatever you can. And I’m not a US resident. But I don’t pay much of your taxes, It gets canceled out in the end. Sweden doesn’t have capital gains tax. We have some special stuff. I’ll tell you if you want to know. And I don’t think about forex too much either and that’s even more important. Taxes or exchange rate, I can’t do much about. Edit: I just checked. I get 100% of US taxes back. Many countries make these deals. Edit2: ah dividends are different. And its 16% or more! But i get 36-93% of it back. Luckily my BNS stock is Canadian so I get all of it back. If I bought the US one, the tax is 25% and I only get 60% of that back.

Solid company. The thing is, we can "only" expect a 10% annualized earnings growth (including dividends) for a PE Ratio of 22? We had Google under that ratio some months ago with forward expected earnings growth in the mid-teens. It's true that the "safety" of this stock has kept its PE Ratio in a premium range, but this can change very quickly, as it happened with Starbucks. It might happen to Costco too. Who knows... I would not like to take that risk.

[@frankyfourfingers1382]

Nominal revenue is where is was 15 years ago, on a real basis sales are down substantially in that time. So this is not a growing business. It sells for 7X (and recently almost 10X) sales, which is insane and therefor it depends on very high margins to stay elevated to eke out any yield from a purchase at this price ... and that is where returns have come from - operating margins have expanded to 46% - and the rest of the return has come from multiple expansion and buybacks ... and thus, given that it would be a stretch to imagine margins could get much better, and price multiples are already very elevated, and sales are not growing much, even on a nominal basis - your only source of return in MCD would have to come from buybacks. And so, the yield on buybacks at the current price would be 4.5%, less than you can get in risk-free t-bills, and with a lot of downside risk, if margins or multiples contract.

That's the advantage they have over companies such as Starbucks, people get hungry, period, AND they are addicted to the sugar/fat/tastyness/etc Also, their business model is almost cruel (owning the land, shifting the risk to the "owner", etc) Could there be a naff period where people only go to Maccys once a week as opposed to now, definitely. Could they trim all the restaurants that aren't making absolute bank, yes. Will people stop shovelling the nuggies into their face, no...they simply will not. The only thing I've ever seen (please batter me on this if I'm way off the mark), is the debt they're carrying.
