McDonald's
The fast food chain earlier this month reported 6.7% global comparable sales growth in January.
"January's +6.7% global comp was higher than our/Street estimates of 5.9%," Oppenheimer analysts wrote in a Feb. 8 report. "Trends were solid across all regions driven in part by new product buzz (like Chicken McBites in the US) and favorable weather patterns. We keep our 2012E/2013E EPS estimates of $5.73/$6.30 unchanged and believe the stock's risk/reward profile remains fairly balanced." Forward Annual Dividend Yield: 2.8% Rated "A+ (Buy)" by TheStreet Ratings: The company's fourth-quarter gross profit margin decreased from the prior year. TheStreet Ratings' price target is $124.32. The stock closed Friday at $100.32 and is down 0.01% year to date.Select the service that is right for you!
