Positive Outlook for McDonald’s: Buy Rating Backed by Strong Sales, Innovation, and Growth Strategies

McDonald’s, the Consumer Cyclical sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst yesterday. Analyst Jon Tower from Citi maintained a Buy rating on the stock and has a $365.00 price target.

Jon Tower has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest a positive outlook for McDonald’s. The company’s comparable sales in the U.S. are expected to meet or exceed expectations, with an improving trajectory that could attract more investor interest in the latter half of 2025. McDonald’s focus on product innovation, strategic collaborations, and intellectual property tie-ins is anticipated to enhance its digital capabilities and leverage its marketing scale, potentially driving traffic and supporting balanced franchisee economics.
Additionally, the performance of new products and the continued appeal of the value Meal Deal are expected to contribute positively to the company’s growth. McDonald’s is also exploring opportunities to extend operating hours, which could further boost revenue. The company’s stable performance in key international markets, along with easing inflationary pressures, supports a favorable environment for sustained sales growth. These factors, combined with adjusted earnings estimates and a slightly increased price target, underpin Jon Tower’s optimistic Buy rating for McDonald’s stock.

In another report released on July 2, Oppenheimer also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $552.00 price target.

MCD’s price has also changed slightly for the past six months – from $286.900 to $291.670, which is a 1.66% increase.
