Analysts Expect McDonald’s EPS Growth to Slow in 2019
McDonald’s Stock Is Up 8.2% since Its Last Earnings: What’s Next? (Continued from Prior Part) ## Analysts’ EPS expectations for 2018 In the first three quarters of 2018, McDonald’s (MCD) adjusted EPS rose 18.5% to $5.88. An expanded EBIT margin, a lower effective tax rate, and share repurchases drove the company’s EPS during the period. However, some of the growth in its EPS was offset by a fall in its revenue. During the period, the company’s EBIT margin improved from 38.4% to 43.6% due to increased revenue from a more profitable franchised business and sales leverage from positive SSSG (same-store sales growth). The company’s effective tax rate stood at 25.7% compared to 32.8% in the previous year. McDonald’s repurchased 26.7 million shares for $4.3 billion in the first three quarters of 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2018, analysts expect McDonald’s to post adjusted EPS of $1.89 to take its total EPS for 2018 to $7.75, a rise of 16.4% from $6.66 in 2017. During the same period, McDonald’s peers Starbucks (SBUX) and Wendy’s (WEN) are expected to post EPS rises of 13.6% and 32.6%, respectively, while Jack in the Box’s (JACK) EPS are likely to fall 1.8%. ## Analysts’ EPS expectations for 2019 Analysts expect McDonald’s EPS growth to slow in 2019. For 2019, McDonald’s is expected to post adjusted EPS of $8.23, an increase of 6.2% from $7.75 in 2017. This EPS growth will likely to be driven by the expansion of its net margins and share repurchases. Analysts expect McDonald’s net margin to expand from 28.8% in 2018 to 30% in 2019. At the end of the third quarter, the company had $7.98 billion left under its share repurchase program. Share repurchases drive a company’s EPS by lowering its number of shares outstanding. In 2019, Starbucks, Wendy’s, and Jack in the Box are expected to post EPS rises of 12.8%, 16.2%, and 15.0%, respectively.

The company’s stock price was also positively affected by Morgan Stanley’s upgrade on November 29.
