The first stock which I add to my fund is "McDonalds" (MCD)
No need much introduction about this company. Its well known fast food brand all over world also one of my daughter favorite place for ice creams and happy meals, she just love it. I usualy take a coffe with a pie and my wife likes their salads so seems they have something for everyone
Some information about it from Reuters page:
McDonald’s Corporation franchises and operates McDonald’s restaurants in the global restaurant industry. These restaurants serve menu at various price points providing value in 119 countries globally. All restaurants are operated either by the Company or by franchisees, including conventional franchisees under franchise arrangements, and developmental licensees and foreign affiliated markets under license agreements. Under the conventional franchise arrangement, franchisees provide a portion of the capital required by initially investing in the equipment, signs, seating and decor of their restaurant businesses, and by reinvesting in the business over time. As of December 31, 2012, 34,480 restaurants in 119 countries at year-end 2012, 27,882 were franchised or licensed (including 19,869 franchised to conventional franchisees, 4,350 licensed to developmental licensees and 3,663 licensed to foreign affiliates (primarily Japan) and 6,598 were operated by the Company.
I just can add that they are paying dividends more than one decade and they constantly increasing. At the moment I purchased this stock the dividend yield is 3.42% and they pay them quarterly.
Bought 33 shares of MCD for price 94,16$ per share
Just interesting fact: McDonalds is the larges toy distrubutor in the word. They distributes 1.5 billion toys annually around the world. That is more than Toys R’ Us. Obviously, the reason is that each happy meal comes with a toy. In the U.S. nine out of ten kids between the ages of 3 and 9 eat at McDonalds once a month.
What's your opinion about my first stock?
