- Tuesday, January 22, 12:29 PM McDonald's (MCD +0.6%) could put in an ugly couple of quarters as it heads into tough comparables, warns RetailGeeks. The group sees revenue slipping 0.3% Y/Y for McDonald's during Q4 with restaurant margins lower in the U.S. and global divisions. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, January 18, 9:25 AM McDonald's (MCD) continues to try to find a way to put a charge into sales in Japan after a recent series of stumbles. The latest moves involve a 24-hour breakfast menu and promoting its "60 seconds service." The big picture: The company hasn't been able at to adapt successfully to the significant shifts in dining preferences and spending habits by consumers in Japan following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, January 18, 8:37 AM Wells Fargo tips off that McDonald's (MCD) will report better than anticipated Q4 earnings and sees a higher multiple on shares as same-store sales growth picks back up again in Q2 and Q3. It's a much more bullish stance than the Street as a whole with global sales pressures and the prospect for higher beef prices keeping many firms more cautious on the restaurant chain. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, January 16, 7:55 AM Shares of Chipotle (CMG) shed 10.7% in premarket trading after the company estimated its Q4 profit would fall well-below the estimate of analysts. Analysts think Chipotle's warning on food costs could cut a wide swath across the quick-service restaurant sector with the introduction of more dollar value menus making price hikes trickier. 1 Comment
- Monday, January 14, 1:17 PM Taco Bell (YUM -0.3%) expands on testing a new dollar menu initiative that could place it in closer competition with the value propositions at McDonald's (MCD -0.1%), Burger King (BKW -2.9%), and Wendy's (WEN +0.7%) in the U.S. Analysts see the move as well-timed with the burger chains likely to struggle a bit to hold the line on prices in the face of escalating beef costs. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, January 9, 7:55 AM Raymond James downgrades McDonald's (MCD) to Market Perform from Outperform as the firm views the industry cautiously as a whole and can't find any visible catalysts for the restaurant operator in particular. On tap: McDonald's global sales will be heavily scrutinized after an initial report from Japan came in weak. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, January 9, 6:50 AM Hedgeye says current employment trends show a potential deceleration of employment growth in the casual dining restaurant sector as compared to the broader economy. According to the firm, the data suggests a possible slowing of casual dining sales as a result. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, January 8, 1:42 PM McDonald's (MCD -0.7%) saw its same-store sales in Japan fall 8.6% in December to add to a multi-month streak of slipping sales. The company blames a tough restaurant environment in the nation as well its decision to hold off on becoming too promotional. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, January 8, 10:54 AM Is there more to McDonald's (MCD -0.7%) move to test selling chicken wings that meets the eye? Hedgeye's Howard Penney notes the traditional business model of the restaurant operator will be under margin pressure with beef prices set to soar to record highs in 2013. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, January 7, 12:47 PM A spokesperson for McDonald's (MCD +0.6%) confirms the restaurant chain will test selling chicken wings at select outlets. Though the move into wings could help widen the menu gap with Burger King and Wendy's again, a national rollout would be risky with wholesale chicken wing prices high and Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD -1.6%) a dominant force. 7 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, December 31, 2012, 7:07 AM Yum Brands (YUM) and McDonald's (MCD) stopped buying meat from China's largest meat seller even before issues with contamination cropped up, according to the companies. Concerns over the level of antibiotics and hormones in chicken could still cut into sales a bit in the nation for the ambitious fast-food chains. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 5:51 AM McDonalds (MCD) and Yum! Brands (YUM) get caught up in a food-safety affair in China following a TV report that two of their past and/or current suppliers bought chicken that may have been fed with non-approved antibiotics and growth hormones. Both companies say they're working with suppliers to ensure safety. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 7:25 AM Bah, humbug! McDonald's (MCD) wants franchisees to stay open on Christmas after a push to keep selling burgers on Thanksgiving helped lift November same-store sales. According to internal estimates, the extra revenue haul for Christmas could reach as high as $84M if stores take the plunge. 7 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, December 17, 2012, 7:57 PM Finding encouragement from strong numbers posted on Thanksgiving Day, McDonald's (MCD) is urging its franchises to remain open on Christmas Day this year. The burger giant says that franchises that remained open on Thanksgiving accounted for almost one percentage point of the company's 2.5% domestic same store sales growth in November. What that could mean to the company's bottom line? Well, if all 14K stores participated - a long shot at best - it could equate to nearly $72M in Ronald's stocking this quarter. 1 Comment [Consumer, Earnings]
- Friday, December 14, 2012, 10:50 AM McDonald's (MCD +0.1%) finds itself the talk of dividend investors after its H2 slump left it with a yield north of 3.4% amidst a backdrop of the company's long history of boosting payouts. If execs can stabilize store traffic and push menu innovation back ahead of peers, a buy in the $80-$90 range looks appealing for the long-term. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, December 10, 2012, 10:07 AM China's retail sales shot up 14.9% in October, providing companies selling in the region a reason to breath just a tad bit easier. The China Generak Chamber of Commerce estimates retail sales will surpass 20 trillion yuan ($3.21T) in 2012 and add another 15% to that mark by 2015. But the trick for U.S. companies with China is to move into rural areas in order to tap into growth potential without stepping into quicksand if brand recognition isn't strong or prices are too high. Walking the tightrope: F, EL, YUM, SBUX, TIF, MCD. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Consumer]
