McDonald’s has always managed to scramble through recessions Here’s a Thought! 29 July, 2020, by Vladimir Rojankovski, Senior Analyst, Grand Capital
McDonald’s has always managed to scramble through recessions posting strong financial numbers. This time was different. Wall Street expected McDonald’s to report quarterly earnings at 74 cents per share on revenue of $3.68 billion, but McDonald’s only managed to post its Q2 diluted earnings at 65 cents per share, dropping 67% from the same period a year ago and missing market estimates. As a result, McDonald’s shares fell 2.5% to $196.24 at yesterday’s market close.
Also, contributing to bad news, the fast-food chain's revenue in the past three-month period dropped 30% on an annual basis to $3.76 billion. Meanwhile, operating income plunged 58% to $961 million. The company’s global comparable sales also significantly fell by almost 24% amid sluggish demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
This sad story suggests there is no escape from economic slowdown, and we must rethink the entire universe of formerly considered defensive instruments.

V BottomConsolidating and PUSHING! OOPS! for some reason targets are now showing up on chart//275.5 292
Earnings are 7-26 BMO so risky, but not to break out. Stop under 176. I do not see where earnings are supposed to be overly high. Surprised since they were not a Covidee Closed Company...a CCC They were among the chosen few.
Dunno..just writing what I see.
Not a recommendation and this one has a ways to break out..but I have figured out..I just never ever know!
MCDIf the rotation has any staying power whatsoever. (time has proven that it usually doesn't) but MCD could be a continued play. Not a momentum name but the set up is there. Cup formed handle is getting there. Normally i stick to S/R levls only but hard to ignore decent more. Could be a nice trade have to take what the market gives you.
MCD to 200 (still out of the flag) MCD is next. Ronal fucking mcdonald dude. Perfect breakout and catch. Right out of a bull flag BUT now it’s back in it’s triangle. PT is still 200. Calls we have are for August so will see what the rest of the week brings. Contract down a bit but we’ve got some time. For those who missed out we could be seeing better buying opportunity. Looking at the chart again it is still out of the flag so bullish run til earnings maybe. Will monitor.
MCD 200Looking to see a bounce at 180. It's moving slowly. 200 call for 7/24 is looking good. .29 premium. Will watch to see if the flag is filled or the stock is able to break above 187. McDonald's is a good stock long term. The important points are 180 and 187. Will watch it on Monday with everything else. If it falls down to the 180 I'll be looking for cheaper premiums.
