Casual dining chains are more attractive than fast food companies. You don't find the lines at McDonald's that you do at places like Olive Garden and Red Lobster on a Friday night. There is room for more restaurants in casual dining. |
My basic premise is that, as time moves along, they're going to have to spend more from operating cash flow, and that's going to increase the cost burden in the future compared to more nimble companies like Motorola. Investors are going to be interested in companies with rising operating margins, not ones struggling to raise them. |
There was no incremental news that came out of the meeting. McDonald's has reached maturity in its life cycle and it can't turn around, while its growth may be on the decline as consumers move toward healthier choices. |
