Slow mover <--> low beta. Doubt it keeps pace with the S&P in an up market.

I noticed McDonalds because it appeared in my "steady dividends" screen. This screen requires that dividend yields greater than 2% and further qualifies the stocks with a host of factors designed to ensure that the companies are likely to maintain or increase their dividends during the next year. Although this is a "simple" screen it has outperformed the S&P 500 by 18% per year from 2001 forward. The balance sheet has some debt, but nothing that McDonald's cannot easily handle. Obviously, McDonalds is well positioned for success around the world. The company's earnings results will benefit if the dollar continues to decline.
