This decline has brought its PE multiple to 20.07, which is lower than the S&P 500's multiple, a rare occurrence for the company. The stock's current yield of 2.8% is among its highest in recent years, supported by a consistent free cash flow payout ratio. The analysis delves into McDonald's business model shift towards franchising, which has improved profitability metrics despite stagnant revenue per share.
