McDonald's (MCD) Down 4.8% Since Last Earnings Report: Can It Rebound?
McDonald's stock has declined 4.8% since its Q2 2026 earnings report, underperforming the S&P 500. While the company beat EPS expectations ($3.38 vs. $3.32 consensus) driven by strong franchised margins, revenues missed estimates ($7.10B vs. $7.14B consensus). Global comparable sales grew 1.3%, with positive results across segments, though U.S. margins faced inflationary pressures. Analysts have revised estimates downward, and the stock holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) with a D VGM Score, suggesting in-line returns ahead.

The company expects growth to accelerate in Q3 despite challenging consumer conditions in some regions like China and France.

2 Dow Jones Stocks Down Over 20% I'd Buy on the Dip
Home Depot and McDonald's, both Dow Jones components, have declined over 20% from their highs but present attractive buying opportunities. Home Depot faces cyclical housing market weakness but maintains strong competitive positioning with only 15% market share of a $1.1 trillion addressable market and offers a 2.84% dividend yield. McDonald's has experienced execution challenges and softer consumer demand, but its highly profitable franchise model generates substantial free cash flow and supports a 2.82% dividend yield with a 50-year dividend growth streak.
Bill Gates' Foundation Holds Berkshire Hathaway as Its Top Stock, a Signal of Its Preference for Steady Compounders Over Flashy Tech

With Berkshire Hathaway as its largest holding at $7.4 billion, the foundation also maintains significant positions in Caterpillar, Canadian National Railway, Waste Management, and Deere. This strategy demonstrates that solid long-term returns can be achieved through steady compounders rather than volatile tech stocks, while still benefiting from trends like AI-driven data center construction.
