Better Buy: McDonald's vs. Constellation Brands
McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) and Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) (NYSE: STZ.B) are both generally considered recession-resistant stocks. McDonald's operates and franchises more than 39,000 restaurants in over 100 countries, while Constellation owns over 100 brands of alcoholic beverages, including Corona, Modelo, and Pacifico.
Visits to McDonald's and the consumption of beer usually remain stable through economic contractions, but both companies face secular headwinds. McDonald's faces stiff competition in the saturated fast food market, while Constellation faces waning beer consumption in the U.S. and other developed markets.
