7. McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 67

McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD) is one of the biggest fast-food chains in the world. It’s somewhat of a defensive play as while demand is influenced by inflation, the business remains resilient due to its end market. As markets bled more than a trillion dollars during Thursday’s selloff, McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD)’s shares jumped by 2% as investors fled to safety. Commenting on the share price movement, here is what Cramer said:

“We should recognize that. The rates are really braking. And then you buy safety. Buy a McDonald’s.”

“But you know you just gotta look at companies whose brand names are good, McDonald’s, it’s viewed as a safety. And it’ll work.”
