MCD Cited as Long-Term Dividend Hold With 49-Year Increase Streak
What happened
The Motley Fool included McDonald's in a five-stock list of dividend names flagged for long-term holding. McDonald's has raised its dividend for approximately 49 consecutive years, qualifying it as a Dividend Aristocrat. The company's franchise-heavy model generates recurring royalty and rent income that has historically supported steady payout growth. Its annual dividend currently runs near $7.08 per share, implying a yield of roughly 2.6% at the $270.98 closing price recorded June 22.
