🟡 Fair value zone · current yield 3.48%
The Geraldine Weiss dividend yield theory applied to McDonald’s Corporation ($MCD) uses the stock's historical dividend yield range to estimate when the price is cheap or expensive relative to its own dividend-paying history (2016–2026). Based on that history, $MCD is currently trading close to its fair value.
When the $MCD yield climbs above 🟢 3.52%, the stock has historically been undervalued. When the yield falls below 🔴 1.95%, McDonald’s Corporation has historically been overvalued. The dashed 🟡 fair value (~2.73%) line marks the orientative midpoint between both extremes, not a price target.
