McDonald's (MCD) has declined ~30% from its February peak, now offering a 3.3% dividend yield and trading at a significant discount to historical EV/EBIT multiples. MCD's recent underperformance stems from inconsistent value proposition execution and decentralized franchisee pricing, especially impacting low-income customer traffic.
