Deceptions

80%

Examples:

  • Given the current uncertain macroeconomic environment with high oil prices and elevated interest rates, could MCD face a similar situation as it did in 2023 and underperform the S&P over the next 12 months - or will it see a strong jump?
  • It should be noted that MCD shares are trading at a valuation of 21x forward price-to-earnings ratio which is below its five-year average of 28x, indicating that the stock could move higher again in the long term.
  • The stock decline can be attributed to investors' concern about rising costs.
