“MCD just cleared its biggest hurdle – this is the kind of setup traders dream about. The bounce-back could be fast and furious.”
The CDC just confirmed that the E. coli outbreak tied to those slivered onions in Quarter Pounders is officially over.
Remember, this was the headline that rocked the stock in October – linked to 49 illnesses across 10 states and even one tragic death.
But now?
The narrative has flipped, and we’ve got a serious recovery opportunity on our hands.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Here’s what’s happening:
MCD shares are still down about 6% from their yearly highs. While the Dow has surged 19% year-to-date, McDonald’s hasn’t kept pace.
That’s a setup we love.
A blue-chip name that’s lagged the broader market – but just had its major headwind completely removed.
In fact, I already jumped on this setup yesterday with some calls in The War Room…and flipped them for a quick 10.8% gain in just a couple of hours.
But here’s the thing… I think the real move is just getting started.
Once Wall Street fully processes this news – that food safety concerns are officially in the rearview mirror – we could see MCD begin closing that performance gap in a big way.
Your Action Plan
With the Santa Claus rally in full swing, traders are hunting for underperforming blue chips that are primed for a year-end rally. McDonald’s fits that bill perfectly.
Here’s why:
- It’s a Dow component that’s underperformed the broader market.
- Its biggest negative catalyst (the E. coli outbreak) is now off the table.
- And traders are piling into these seasonal rotation plays fast.
We’ve seen this play out before – and it can happen quickly.
Just this week in The War Room, we captured gains of 14.2% on HOOD, 36.9% on PLTR, 17.8% on JWN, and another 10.8% on MCD.
And this setup in MCD?
It’s exactly the kind of event-driven catalyst we love to target.
I’ll be watching this closely for another entry point.
