McDonald&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) stock fell 2.6% to $309.02 Tuesday afternoon as Wall Street's volatility continued, with broader market weakness exacerbated by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44258002/wall-street-drop-deepens-as-trade-war-fears-escalate-sp-500-hits-7-month-lows-whats-driving-markets-tuesday">heightened trade tensions</a>.
The fast-food giant, a Dow Jones component, saw shares slip alongside industrials and consumer discretionary stocks as investors digested President Donald Trump's decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44253100/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-canadian-steel-aluminum-threatens-auto-industry">double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum</a>.
What It Means For McDonald&#8217;s: McDonald's relies heavily on a robust supply chain, with North American suppliers playing a crucial role in providing equipment, packaging and construction materials for its locations.

Higher tariffs on Canadian steel, a key material for restaurant equipment and renovation projects, could increase operational costs and weigh on expansion plans.
Franchisees, already facing margin pressures from rising wages and food inflation, may see additional financial strain as remodeling and new store development become more expensive.
What Else: The company also faces indirect risks from broader market volatility, as weaker consumer sentiment could lead to softer discretionary spending. 
With McDonald's still recovering from slowing foot traffic and increased competition, any macroeconomic headwinds that dampen spending power could pressure sales.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MCD Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for McDonald&#8217;s &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MCD has a 52-week high of $326.32 and a 52-week low of $243.53.

Decoding McDonald's's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

In the current session, the stock is trading at $323.67, after a 0.74% increase. Over the past month, McDonald's Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) stock increased by 4.34%, and in the past year, by 9.98%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741617920_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does McDonald's P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
McDonald's has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 92.17 of the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741617920_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

McDonald's Unusual Options Activity

Chick-fil-A's well-known policy of closing on Sundays—a decision rooted in its founder's Christian values—continues to have a significant impact on the fast-food industry. While the brand remains one of the most successful chicken chains in the U.S., its weekly closure creates a vacuum that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/fast-food-stocks">competitors are eager to fill.</a>
What To Know: According to data from Veraset, a location data provider, over a quarter (27.4%) of Chick-fil-A's weekday customers in Atlanta, the chain&#8217;s most popular hub, turn to local eateries when the chain is closed. However, major publicly traded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/fast-food-restaurants">fast-food brands</a> also benefit from the Sunday void.

McDonald&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) captures 12.2% of displaced customers, while Wendy&#8217;s Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">WEN</a>) and Burger King, owned by Restaurant Brands International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>), help drive a 16% shift toward burger restaurants. 
Additionally, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>), which offers a fast-casual alternative, benefits from the 8% of Chick-fil-A customers opting for Mexican and Tex-Mex options. Meanwhile, Popeyes—another QSR brand—and KFC, a part of Yum! Brands Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>), see an 11.8% boost from chicken lovers looking for a substitute.
What Else: For investors, this data highlights the resilience of these brands and their ability to capitalize on consumer habits. McDonald's, Wendy's and Chipotle in particular have strong Sunday sales, benefiting from Chick-fil-A's absence. That said, the entire quick service restaurant industry in Georgia in February took a hit to foot traffic when compared with last year. Three of the four weeks showed a contraction when compared with the prior year, <a href="https://www.placer.ai/industries/quick-service#Georgia">according to</a> Placer.ai, ranging from down 6.3% in the week of February 17 to up 1.65% in the week of February 24. Georgia&#8217;s performance has only slightly outperformed the nationwide trends. 
As fast-food competition intensifies, understanding how companies position themselves to absorb these customer shifts could be crucial for evaluating stock performance.
Despite its Sunday closures, Chick-fil-A remains dominant, but its competitors have learned how to turn the weekly day of rest into an opportunity.

March 2 will go down as National Egg McMuffin Day for restaurant giant McDonald's Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>). This year, the restaurant chain celebrates 50 years of nationwide breakfast with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/02/43977975/mcdonalds-says-no-to-egg-surcharges-celebrates-50-years-of-egg-mcmuffin-breakfast-experience-anchored-in-great-value"> several special offers.</a>
Here's a look back at the launch of the Egg McMuffin and how much investors could have made along the way.
McDonald's Breakfast Launch: McDonald's has launched many menu items over the year, but like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/22/07/28213102/if-you-invested-1000-in-mcdonalds-stock-when-happy-meal-was-launched-heres-how-much-youd-have-1">the Happy Meal</a>, the launch of the Egg McMuffin might be one of the most iconic in the company's history.
"In 1975, a breakfast revolution began with the nationwide debut of the Egg McMuffin at McDonald's," the company said.
McDonald's is celebrating the anniversary with $1 Egg McMuffin offers for its app users and several breakfast specials throughout the month of March.
"50 years later, it's still the GOAT."
The Egg McMuffin invention is credited to Herb Peterson, a McDonald's franchisee in California. In 1971, Peterson presented his take on the classic Eggs Benedict breakfast staple that was ins sandwich form.
"When I watched my father introduce this idea to Ray Kroc, we could not have anticipated it would become the foundation for the renowned McDonald's breakfast menu," said Peterson's son and McDonald's Owner/Operator David Peterson. "It's been remarkable to see people embrace this innovation over the last five decades, and now we get to share that heritage with a new generation of breakfast fans."
The introduction of the Egg McMuffin by Peterson came as several restaurant operators considered developing a breakfast menu for McDonald's.
The Egg McMuffin <a href="https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/article/egg-mcmuffin-history.html">launched </a>in test markets in 1972 at a cost of 63 cents. Later in 1975, the Egg McMuffin national roll-out took place.
McDonald's launching the Egg McMuffin nationwide kickstarted its breakfast ambitions and two years later the company would add a full breakfast menu that featured this iconic sandwich, hotcakes, hash browns, sausage, scrambled eggs, toasted English muffins and danishes.
The addition of breakfast has added billions of dollars in revenue to McDonald's over the years.

Investing $1,000 in MCD Stock: Investors who recognized the potential of additional revenue from having breakfast items and being open for breakfast hours could have considered buying McDonald's stock in 1975.
McDonald's stock traded at a split-adjusted high of $1.03 on March 2, 1975, the date used in this exercise for the national rollout of the Egg McMuffin.
A $1,000 investment at the time could have purchased 970.87 MCD shares.
Today, the $1,000 investment would be worth $299,339.10, up 29,833.9%. This return does not include dividends, which could have been reinvested or used to buy McDonald's menu items like the Egg McMuffin to support your stock holding.

McDonald's Unusual Options Activity For February 27

Live On CNBC, Rob Sechan Announces Sold Mcdonalds

Restaurant giant McDonald's Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) is celebrating 50 years of breakfast with specials and promotions that brush off the egg surcharges other restaurant chains have added with the breakfast commodity<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43663963/record-high-egg-prices-drive-inflation-higher-in-january"> hitting record highs.</a>
What Happened: While restaurants like Waffle House and Denny's Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DENN#NASDAQ">DENN</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/02/43511263/high-egg-prices-drive-waffle-house-to-add-50-cent-surcharge">adding egg surcharges </a>to pass the rising costs of eggs back to consumers, McDonald's is offering some relief for its customers.
The company <a href="https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/article/celebrate-50years-ofmornings-atmcd-special-deals-breakfast-favorites.html">announced </a>its celebration of 50 years of the Egg McMuffin breakfast sandwich with special deals and increased breakfast options.
McDonald's launched the Egg McMuffin nationwide in 1975 and will celebrate the 50th anniversary with National Egg McMuffin Day on March 2. On that day, McDonald's app users can get an Egg McMuffin or Sausage McMuffin with Egg breakfast sandwich for $1.
"50 years later, it's still the GOAT. In honor of this golden anniversary, the Golden Arches are doubling down on breakfast – offering fans even more reasons to wake up with McDonald's and save on their favorites," the restaurant company said.
Another promotion running March 3 through March 30 offers buy one get one free on Sausage McMuffin with Egg sandwiches using McDelivery through the McDonald's app.
The restaurant company also announced its bagel sandwiches are now available nationwide, including options like the Bacon, Egg &amp; Cheese and the Steak, Egg &amp; Cheese. McDonald's is also expanding its partnership with Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>) to offer donuts in New York, its latest expansion. By the end of 2025, over half of the U.S. McDonald's locations are expected to have Krispy Kreme donuts.
"At McDonald's, breakfast isn't just a meal; it's a cherished tradition and cornerstone of our brand," McDonald's USA president Joe Erlinger said. "Every morning when we open our doors, we are a breakfast restaurant."
Erlinger added that McDonald's customers can count on the company's "one-of-a-kind breakfast experience, anchored in great value and high-quality ingredients."

Why It's Important: Waffle House recently announced a 50 cent surcharge on eggs due to the record highs. Denny's followed with a plan to add a temporary surcharge on eggs based on individual markets.
McDonald's North American chief impact officer Michael Gonda took a shot at the other restaurants in a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/michaelgonda_breakfastcomesfirst-activity-7300205561386610689-65GH/">post </a>celebrating McDonald's new breakfast promotions.
"While many in the U.S. are talking about [eggs], we've had something in the works for a while and the timing couldn't be better (important side note: unlike others making news recently, you definitely WON'T see McDonald's USA issuing surcharge on eggs, which are 100% cage-free and sourced in the U.S.)," Gonda said.
The timing of McDonald's breakfast themed promotions could be a catalyst to watch for investors after the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43592025/fast-food-major-mcdonalds-stocks-rise-despite-q4-sales-miss-details">fourth-quarter financial results</a> missed estimates.
The company reported a 0.3% year-over-year sales decline in the fourth quarter with U.S. comparable sales down 1.4% year-over-year.
McDonald's is seeing increased user counts for its app and the breakfast promotions could add to that total, giving the restaurant giant another way to market its products and promotions to a large user base.
"We're playing to win, focusing on our customers with outstanding value, exciting menu innovation and culturally relevant marketing," McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said during the third-quarter financial results.
MCD Price Action: McDonald's stock is down 1% to $307.73 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $243.53 to $317.90. McDonald's stock is up 4% over the last year.

McDonald's Says No To Egg Surcharges, Celebrates 50 Years Of Egg McMuffin: 'Breakfast Experience Anchored In Great Value'

McDonald's's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) short percent of float has fallen 17.78% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 7.91 million shares sold short, which is 1.11% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.59 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>McDonald's Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740584737_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for McDonald's has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing McDonald's's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, McDonald's's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.53%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Is McDonald's Gaining or Losing Market Support?

The U.S. restaurant industry is staring down the barrel of a potential $12 billion setback. This comes in the wake of President Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed&nbsp;tariffs on food and beverages, as per the National Restaurant Association&#8216;s warning.
What Happened: The National Restaurant Association has voiced its concerns to President Trump regarding the possible repercussions of his proposed tariffs, reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-26/restaurants-warn-of-potential-12-billion-hit-from-trump-tariffs">Bloomberg </a>on Tuesday. The association, which represents restaurants nationwide, estimates that the tariffs could inflict a cost of over $12 billion on the industry and trigger a hike in consumer prices.
In a letter addressed to the President in February, the association cautioned that the industry, which operates on thin&nbsp;profit margins of 3% to&nbsp;5%, would be compelled to increase prices if the tariffs come into effect. The group has appealed to the president to exclude&nbsp;food and beverage products from&nbsp;the tariffs to mitigate&nbsp;the effect on consumers and restaurant owners.
The association&#8217;s projections are based on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43926015/trump-confirms-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-will-take-effect-as-planned">25% tariff on food and beverage</a> imports from Mexico and Canada. The group also emphasized that these products do not play a significant role in the trade deficits that Trump aims to address.
The association reported that food expenses make up approximately 33 cents of every sales dollar, meaning tariffs could cause the average small restaurant operator&#8217;s profits to drop by around 30%. The letter signed by the association CEO Michelle Korsmo stated, "For many food products, the appropriate climate and growing conditions do not exist in the U.S. year-round to produce the quantities needed for our businesses.&#8221; 
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43957368/lung-disease-focused-insmed-is-an-attractive-midcap-biotech-analyst-says">Lung Disease-Focused Insmed &#8216;Is An Attractive Midcap Biotech,&#8217; Analyst Says</a>
Why It Matters: The proposed tariffs could further strain the restaurant industry, which has been grappling with challenges such as rising food costs. For instance, McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/43657072/mcdonalds-underwhelmed-in-q4-why-investors-shouldnt-worry">reported underwhelming fourth </a>and full-year 2024 results, despite its share price uptrend. The proposed tariffs could exacerbate these issues, potentially hampering the growth of not only McDonald&#8217;s but the entire restaurant industry.
However, according to S&amp;P Global, the tariffs may have less impact on quick service restaurants (QSRs) than restaurants. The think tank says McDonald&#8217;s Corp. and Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>) are largely shielded from food costs at the restaurant level. Due to the large-scale focus on specific items, QSRs may face temporary price increases for certain menu items (e.g., frozen French fries from Canada-based McCain Foods). However, S&amp;P Global believes this risk can be managed by proactively planning for tariffs and leveraging supplier relationships to transition to local sourcing.
&#8220;If broad-based tariffs strain the overall economy, we could see more traffic to QSRs because of value-oriented offerings,&#8221; states S&amp;P Global.
