Mcdonald's Stock Crashes Hard in Spite of the Reopening of Decline

War-weary investors are taking the news in stride, with the stock running up in advance of the July 4 holiday, but already the weakness of the technique of positioning can take its toll ahead of the July 28 earnings report.

The fast-food giant is unlikely to conduct reopenings after three weeks of pause, given the current trajectory of the infections, the addition of a new charge for the third quarter of profits and income. More importantly, the decision could induce other channels to follow, even in places that have re-opened successfully. Taken together with the new term of city and county-level closures, it could trigger a new surge of unemployment in the hospitality industry, the cancellation of the second quarter of progress.

Mcdonald’s is facing an additional burden, because he rents the properties to 85% of franchises, put them on the hook for direct monthly payments. He had to provide programmes of support to keep the weakest, the franchise from bankruptcy during the stop, further eroding profitability. And while many restaurants are now running successful pick-up and delivery operations, almost all of them have reported loss of income, without the benefit of dining services.
