McDonald's shares drop over 30%, a rare plunge linked to rising US Treasury yields.

McDonald's stock has fallen more than 30%, a rare event seen only a few times in 40 years, mainly due to rising US 10-year Treasury yields making safer investments more attractive compared to McDonald's dividend. Despite the price drop, McDonald's fundamentals remain strong with high operating and free cash flow margins, stable debt, and recent achievement of dividend king status. The stock is rated as a buy, but caution is advised as further increases in Treasury yields could pressure the shares. A strong buy zone is suggested between $205 and $210 per share.

McDonald's shares are trading at USD 233.10 on Pluang, showing a modest gain of 0.52% in the last day. The stock's dividend yield stands at 3.33%, with a market cap of $164.09 billion as of Oct 06, 2026 03:42 WIB.
