McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) Stock: Should You Buy After Same-Store Sales Impress?

Naturally, these new offerings could strike a blow to Yum! Brands, which has successfully driven same-store sales increases through its late night “FourthMeal” campaigns.

In the meantime, however, it’s also worth noting that Yum! Brands could more than make up for any lost business to McDonald’s given the Taco Bell owner’s plans to roll out a new breakfast lineup nationwide by the end of next year. McDonald’s investors, then, would be wise to keep an eye on whether Yum!’s breakfast menu performs well next year at McDonald’s expense.

At least for now, though, McDonald’s stock should be able to continue riding high as the company’s current efforts to improve sales seem to be paying off.
