Forget McDonald's, Starbucks Is a Better Fast Food Stock

McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) are two of the most well-known fast food brands in the world. McDonald's operates and franchises over 36,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries, while Starbucks owns and franchises more than 32,000 stores in over 75 markets.

McDonald's and Starbucks might seem like similar investments. The COVID-19 crisis will curb the growth of both companies this year, but both chains should recover next year with double-digit sales growth. Their dividends are also comparable: McDonald's forward yield of 2.7% is only slightly higher than Starbucks' yield of 2.2%.
