As of the August 28, 2026 close, MCD finished 10.94% below its 150-day moving average ($292.00) and 11.86% below its 200-day moving average ($295.05). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is MCD overbought or oversold?
At the August 28, 2026 close, MCD's RSI(14) was 28.5, in oversold territory (below 30). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, MCD has $822.0M in cash with $54.60B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. The company generates $6.26B in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. Return on assets of 13.2% further supports the picture of efficient asset utilization. Revenue has been uneven over recent years, ranging from $23.22B to $26.89B.
The relatively low beta of 0.41 suggests MCD is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. McDonald's Corporation carries a heavier debt load relative to its cash position, which introduces financial risk that investors should weigh. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence McDonald's Corporation's trajectory.
