Page 2 of 2

Other contenders for this spot include Yum! Brands, Inc (NYSE:YUM) and Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX). McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD)’s got the nod over Yum! because of management using the menu to adapt to markets. Starbucks didn’t make the cut because of valuation.

As with Chevron, the only reason I wouldn’t buy McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD)’s today is it’s already one of my largest holdings.

Foolish takeaway
Good current yield and prospects to continue providing shareholders with a raise every year make McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD)’s and Chevron good candidates to join the stock team for an income-oriented portfolio. I can’t tell if they’re good fits for your portfolio or investment objectives, but I believe they’re still great fits for me.
