McDonald's biggest competitor is YUM Brands Inc. (YUM). YUM currently trades around $54 with a market cap of $25.01 billion and a price to earnings ratio of $21.63. YUM pays a dividend which yields 2.1% versus McDonald's dividend yield of 2.8%.

McDonald's has been a profitable company for many years and has increased net income in each of the last four years. In the second quarter, the company increased net income by 14.6% over the second quarter of 2010. McDonald's has also been an excellent dividend-paying company. The company has paid dividends for decades.
In 2008, the company began paying quarterly dividends rather than annual dividends. Also, since 2008, the company has increased its dividend by 62.6%. Investors seem to like McDonald's' profitability and dividend. The stock price has increased by 18.8% over the last 52 weeks and by 52% over the last 3 years. I believe that McDonald's will continue to grow income and pay a generous dividend. I rate McDonald's as a buy.
