Earlier this morning, I posted the results to the question I posed to MCD franchisees regarding their current level of contentment (relative to past periods) as it relates to how they feel Oak Brook is handling the issues facing franchisees today (please refer to my ‘The Question’ posting for more details). To recount, “1” is 100% contentment and “10” is wanting out as fast as you can.
When you match up that franchisee sentiment with MCD’s stock price, it becomes apparent that increased levels of franchisee anxiety does not bode well for the overall MCD system and its stock price. For reference, the late 1990’s to 2002 was one of the worst periods for McDonald’s franchisees and not surprisingly, MCD’s stock. This number has now crept up to 5.2 (above the 3.7 average)…Stay tuned!
