McDonald's and the weak dollar
I read McDonald's will benefit greatly from the weak dollar, how so? is it because of all of its international branches making money in foreign currencies that when translated to dollars increase profits?
sounds about right, can't think of anything else - the exact opposite happened to airbus, amongst other thigns
That would be it. As opposed to Wendy's and all the other junk food shops in the US, McD's small at home yet the global leader abroad.
depends if they hedge their currency risk or not
what do you mean?
mcd's will benefit from the weak dollar if their fx risk is unhedged. they won't otherwise.
just like airlines are hit by oil prices in accordance with their hedging profiles
got it
