McDonald’s stock may be down 21% from its peak, but it’s still 4% above its yearly low — and the numbers say the business is thriving. Sales at existing locations have grown steadily for four quarters, with U.S. performance surprisingly strong. The secret? Over $16 billion in rent and royalties from franchisees keeps margins healthy at 40%+. Their loyalty program drives billions in sales. Sure, recent growth slowed slightly — partly due to currency — and U.S. traffic could be a concern. But at current prices, this is a solid long-term play: consistent sales, juicy margins, and a decent dividend. Hold onto it.
