- Friday, June 8, 2012, 8:21 AM More on McDonald's (MCD) global sales: A sharp 11% Y/Y decline in sales in Japan during May was strongly influenced by a tough comparable from last year after sales soared in the month after the earthquake and tsunami that disrupted the nation. MCD -2.7% premarket. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, June 8, 2012, 8:17 AM McDonald's (MCD) reports global comparable sales were up 3.3% in May. Sales rose 4.4% in the U.S. as new breakfast items contributed and Europe saw a 2.9% gain, but Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa saw a drop off of 1.7% for the month. Shares -2.6% premarket. 3 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, June 7, 2012, 10:58 AM Yum Brands (YUM +0.2%) looks to set the same expansion path in India that is currently clicking in Asia with an eye on the nation's population of 1.2B. The company's game plan - more aggressive than rival McDonald's (MCD +0.2%) - includes jumping on prime locations for restaurants and moving into lower-tier cities after flagship locations are established. If the recipe sounds familiar, it's because McDonald's used it to a bit of success in the U.S. throughout its history. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 5, 2012, 1:56 PM It seems so easy. The combined population of BRIC nations is close to 3B and they all love American fast food, so explosive growth is a certainty. But not so fast, according to the reports from global players such as Yum Brands (YUM +0.3%), Arcos Dorados (ARCO +3.5%), McDonald's (MCD +0.5%), and Wendy's (WEN -0.5%). The global economy has wreaked havoc on the rosy estimates for revenue, while local tastes in Brazil, India, Russia, and China don't always mesh with U.S. fast food staples. 3 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Monday, June 4, 2012, 8:28 AM Deutsche Bank reduces its price target on McDonald's (MCD) to $100 from $108 after hearing execs with the company warn that margins in Europe will be under pressure in the near term. Despite the worries about global sale numbers, SA author Garrett Blackwood sees the McDonald's dropoff as overdone and calls the stock very close to a textbook-defined undervalued play. Shares -0.2% premarket to $86.63. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, June 1, 2012, 3:09 PM McDonald's (MCD -2.5%) tweets Michael Bloomberg, telling the NYC mayor that customers know how to make the best choices for themselves after Bloomberg opened the Twitter battle by calling out the large sizes of its drinks. The company has every intention of not getting lumped into the obesity debate, with its top chef noting publicly that the chain now offers salads, smoothies, and oatmeal - not to mention the ability for customers to just say no to supersizing soft drinks. 17 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 8:29 AM Execs with McDonald's (MCD) tip off at the Sanford Bernstein Strategic Decision Conference that the company is on track to open 1,300 new restaurants in 2012 and update another 225. The company has already made significant headway in differentiating its modernized restaurants from older Burger King, Hardee's, and Wendy's restaurants. (webcast) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 24, 2012, 1:38 PM McDonald's (MCD -0.5%) won't have to be a profit-making company and the surrogate parents for millions of kids after all, as a shareholder resolution to assess the effects of products and marketing on children's health fails to land more than 6.4% of the votes at the company's annual meeting. Execs did say that new healthier choices for Happy Meals could be part of Mickey D's menu in the future. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 24, 2012, 6:57 AM McDonald's (MCD) ups its previously-announced $750M bond sale to $900M and scores near-record low interest rates in the process. The company sold $500M of 3-year notes with a 0.75% coupon and $400M of 7-year notes with a 1.875% coupon. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 23, 2012, 12:45 PM McDonald's (MCD -0.6%) plans to sell $750M worth of 3-year and 7-year notes amid an aggressive plan to hire 70K workers in China and ramp up store openings. The company paid a record-low 3.70% on a 30-year issue floated earlier this year. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 23, 2012, 12:36 PM Though Burger King trails restaurant chains McDonald's (MCD -0.5%) and Yum Brands (YUM -1.4%) by a wide margin in China, it's sticking to a plan to offer premium food that caters to local tastes in a bid to make a splash in the market. Truffle burgers in Hong Kong and Sichuan pepper-spiced burgers on the mainland are two products the company will offer in hopes that what it calls its "taste of royal delicacy" will resonate with consumers. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 12:28 PM Apple (AAPL) still has the world's most valuable brand, according to BrandZ's annual study, which estimates its value has risen 19% Y/Y to $182.9B. IBM is believed to have passed Google (GOOG) for the #2 spot thanks to a 15% increase, while McDonald's (MCD) is seen holding steady at #4 in spite of a 17% gain. Also in the top 10: Microsoft (MSFT), Coca-Cola (KO), Marlboro (PM), AT&T (T), Verizon (VZ), and China Mobile (CHL). Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 9:51 AM The public launch of CKE Restaurants - owner of burger chains Carl's Jr. and Hardee's - doesn't appear set to pose an imminent threat to McDonald's (MCD +0.1%) due to the pile of challenges at the cash-strapped company. Funds from the IPO are already earmarked for paying off debt, instead of going to upgrade company-owned restaurants in near-desperate need of a facelift. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, May 21, 2012, 9:44 AM McDonald's (MCD +0.4%) starts its biggest recruiting plan ever in China as it looks to hire 70K workers and open 220-225 new stores in the nation. While the company's food prices in China remain elevated, workers will earn in some cases less than 10 yuan ($1.58) an hour. 8 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 17, 2012, 1:18 PM Though Panera Bread (PNRA -2.5%) finds that its decision to offer free Wi-Fi to customers was a big boost to revenue as it beat rivals to the punch, it now struggles to keep up with the burdens of the demand. While charging a fee for access is unlikely to sail smoothly with customers, Piper Nicole Miller Regan says tying premium Wi-Fi to the firm's loyalty program makes sense. The bigger question: Will free Wi-Fi hangouts such as PNRA, SBUX, and MCD lose revenue if truly unlimited mobile data plans take off? 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 15, 2012, 8:37 AM Bailing out on Mickey D's? Cowen downgrades McDonald's (MCD) to Neutral on its view that the ten-year thesis on the stock launched in 2002 has now played out. MCD +0.5% premarket, -5.1% since its April SSS report disappointed analysts. 5 Comments [Consumer]
