A year of buying MCD
Over the last 364 days MCD closed between $262.33 (July 23, 2026) and $340.84 (March 1, 2026). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $104 today; at the high, $80. The current price $272.62 is above 38 of those 364 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 10% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves MCD by 1.3%: a $1,000 position swings about $13 a day.
