As of April 16, 2018, McDonald’s (MCD) was trading at $161.63, a fall of 0.1% from the previous day’s close. The downgrade from Stephens appears to have led the stock to fall to as low as $160.83. However, the stock recovered due to strength in the broader equity market due to the easing of Syria-related tensions. On April 16, the S&P 500 Index (SPY) and the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLY) rose 0.8% and 0.75%, respectively.

Why Stephens Downgraded McDonald’s
On April 16, 2018, Will Slabaugh of Stephens downgraded McDonald’s (MCD) from “overweight” to “equal weight.” He also lowered his 12-month target price from $185 to $170, which represents a return potential of 8.3%. In his research note, Slabaugh wrote that although McDonald’s was able to post SSSG (same-store sales growth) in the mid-single digits in the last few quarters, especially in the US region, investors should not consider this the norm. Overall, analysts are expecting the company’s stock price to reach $186.46 in the next 12 months, which represents a return potential of 15.4%.

Why McDonald’s Revenues Declined in 2017
In 2017, McDonald’s (MCD) posted revenues of ~$22.8 billion, which represents a fall of 7.3% from ~$24.6 billion in 2016. The effects of the addition of new franchised restaurants and positive SSSG (same-store sales growth) were more than offset by the refranchising of company-owned restaurants, which led to a fall in the company’s stock price. Due to the refranchising and closing of underperforming company-owned restaurants, the segment operated 222 fewer restaurants by the end of 2017 than the unit count at the end of 2016.
