barrons3	It also means that there will be a bid under stocks as diverse as Intel (INTC) and McDonald's (MCD) or Kimberly Clark (KMB), which yield around 3% (give or take some small amount) and are a terrific alternative to a piece of 7-year Treasury paper that yields about 2.8% and is much worse after tax.

barrons3	He told Mad Money viewers to buy stocks that aren’t up year-over-year but should be. McDonald’s (MCD), Nucor (NUE) and UPS (UPS) are strong businesses that deserve better share prices than they have right now, Cramer said.	Love	November 27, 2009

barrons3	Despite Mickey D's domination of a relatively recession-resistant industry, its revenue and net income growth isn't always consistent. However, the stock yields about 3.5%, and dividends have grown nearly 30% annually over the past five years. Bahl & Gaynor's McCormick says expansion outside the U.S., particularly in higher-growth markets like China, will help the fast-food chain over the long term and support its dividend.

barrons3	"But what does this allow us to buy," asked Cramer? "Pretty much anything," he concluded. Cramer said that commodities rallied on Bernanke's words, as did the recession stocks like McDonald's (MCD), Merck (MRK), Kimberly-Clark (KMB) and Procter & Gamble (PG), a stock which he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.

barrons3	I’d fold ‘em, says Jim Iurio on the Halftime Report. Look at MCD instead.	Love	November 18, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"McDonald's has climbed 3% this year, underperforming major U.S. indices. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 17, a discount to the market and restaurants. The shares pay a 3.4% dividend yield." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10627829/5/five-large-cap-stocks-poised-to-climb.html" target="_blank">Read more here.</a>	Love	November 18, 2009
barrons3	The big apple and the hedge-fund haven Greenwich, Conn., were well-represented on the dais. The normally reticent hedge-fund manager Steve Mandel of Lone Pine Capital threw out a passel of stocks that he finds under-valued, including McDonald's (MCD), Abbott Laboratories (ABT) and Monsanto (MON), now a biotech leader.

barrons3	The estimates for McDonald's' business are so U.S.-centric that they simply don't even seem to take into account the fact the company's growth is all international. People continue to underrate the franchise even though the company raised its dividend in part to signal the underlying strength of their business.	Love	November 12, 2009
barrons3	And don't forget all of the translation gains that can be had for everyone from McDonald's (MCD) to Coca-Cola (KO). Federal Express (FDX) -- classic weak-dollar play.	Love	November 12, 2009
barrons3	Finally, Cramer said McDonalds (MCD) completes his four-legged chair. He said McDonald's is another consistent company which beat the street by 4 cents a share, improved same store sales by 3.8%, and raised its dividend to a 4% yield.	Love	November 05, 2009

barrons3	Is it too late to buy McDonald's (MCD), when it has a roughly 4% yield and is the ultimate weak dollar play?	Love	October 15, 2009
barrons3	The third quarter didn't see much dividend action among the 65 Dow stocks. Happily, however, what did occur was positive. Barron's statistics director Peter Miller could find only three boosts among the 30 industrials, by Chevron (CVX), McDonald's (MCD) and Verizon (VZ), although the latter two aren't payable until this quarter. The industrials as a whole disbursed $66.90 in the September quarter, down 14.53% from $78.27 a year earlier, for a 2.95% yield.	Love	October 10, 2009

supratrade	Low cost, consistency, and let's face it, some darn good-tasting burgers, fries and shakes have made McDonald's (MCD) the most successful restaurant chain ever. McDonald's has more than 31,000 local restaurants, serving more than 58 million people in 118 countries each day. More than 75% of McDonald's restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent local businesspeople, making this company the quintessential example of a worldwide franchise business success. When people want great fast food at a great price, they go to McDonald's. Because McDonald's gives consumers what they want at a price they want to pay, and because they make big profits doing so, I consider the company a precious jewel of capitalism.	Love	October 03, 2009

barrons3	Big dividends where also announced by corporate giants Lockheed Martin (LMT) and McDonald's (MCD) Thursday. Lockheed boosted its quarterly common payout 10.5%, to 63 cents a share from 57 cents, for a 3.23% yield. This is the eighth hike since 2003. Dividends have been ongoing since 1995. McDonald's declared a new quarterly of 55 cents a share, up 10% from 50 cents. Yield: 3.86%. Payouts have risen every year since the company initiated them in 1976.	Love	September 26, 2009
