Better Buy: McDonald's vs. Coca Cola
McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) and Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) are two of the most iconic brands in America. They're also both Dividend Aristocrats -- members of the S&P 500 that have raised their dividends for at least 25 straight years.
Over the past decade, McDonald's and Coca-Cola generated total returns of about 265% and 140%, respectively, making them sound long-term investments. However, both companies face new challenges as health-conscious consumers shun fast food and sugary sodas. So are McDonald's and Coca-Cola still great stocks to "buy and forget" for the next few decades?
