A sober valuation analysis on $MCD 🧘🏽♂️
•NTM P/E Ratio: 21.24x
•10-Year Mean: 23.35x
•NTM FCF Yield: 4.53%
•10-Year Mean: 4.07%
As you can see, $MCD appears to be trading below fair value
Going forward, investors can receive ~10% MORE in earnings per share & ~11% MORE in FCF per share 🧠***
Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $MCD is a quality business
BALANCE SHEET🆗
•Cash & Short-Term Inv: $838.00M
•Long-Term Debt: $37.21B
$MCD has a decent balance sheet*, a BBB+ S&P Credit Rating, & ~7x FFO Interest Coverage Ratio
* $MCD owns plenty of land, with a total value of $7.08B as of Dec 2023
RETURN ON CAPITAL✅
•2019: 22.0%
•2020: 16.4%
•2021: 21.7%
•2022: 23.1%
•2023: 23.4%
•LTM: 25.5%
$MCD has strong return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business
REVENUES🆗
•2018: $21.26B
•2023: $25.49B
•CAGR: 3.69%
FREE CASH FLOW✅
•2018: $4.22B
•2023: $7.25B
•CAGR: 11.43%
NORMALIZED EPS✅
•2013: $5.55
•2023: $11.94
•CAGR: 7.96%
SHARE BUYBACKS✅
•2013 Shares Outstanding: 1.00B
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 726.85M
By reducing its shares outstanding 27.3%, $MCD increased its EPS by 37.5% (assuming 0 growth)
MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 57.0%
•LTM Operating Margins: 45.7%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 32.2%
***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~10% MORE in EPS & ~11% MORE in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $MCD has to grow earnings at a 10.62% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be less than the (10.62%) required growth rate:
2024E: $12.01 (0.6% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $13.16 (9.6% YoY)
2026E: $14.33 (8.9% YoY)
$MCD has a good track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $MCD ends 2026 with $14.33 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
24x P/E: $343.92💵 … ~14.2% CAGR
23x P/E: $329.59💵 … ~12.3% CAGR
22x P/E: $315.26💵 … ~10.4% CAGR
21 P/E: $300.93💵 … ~8.4% CAGR
As you can see, $MCD appears to have attractive return potential IF we assume >22x earnings, a multiple below its 10-year mean & a multiple that’s not too far off from 20x which is where $MCD has a history of bottoming at — implying a decent margin of safety
Today at $261💵 $MCD appears to be a worthwhile consideration for investment, especially for investors looking to establish a position in a strong dividend grower with relatively low volatility
