McDonald's (MCD, $230.46) to shutter hundreds of outlets in Walmart

McDonald's is planning to shutter hundreds of its outlets in Walmart  stores by the end of the summer.

Walmart confirmed Friday that the fast-food restaurant chain will have around 150 locations after the closures. That’s down from 500 at the start of the year and from an overall peak of about 1,000.  

down from 500 at the start of the year and from an overall peak of about 1,000, The Wall Street Journal reported.

A former McDonald's executive told Dow Jones that stand-alone McDonald's locations with drive-throughs were far more profitable, even before the pandemic.

According to the executive, a third of the sales from Walmart-sited McDonald’s restaurants came from Walmart employees, while many patrons visited them only to load “up on refills and condiments, diluting margins.”

Walmart is now considering other restaurant options “that don't rely solely on store traffic,” others familiar with the situation told Dow Jones.

If Hedge Funds are Using AI to Invest, Why Shouldn’t You?

The AI revolution is so big that as it stands today, the world’s five biggest hedge funds all use systems-based approaches to trade financial markets.Indeed, quantitative trading hedge funds now manage $918 billion (according to HFR), which amounts to 30% of the $3 trillion hedge fund industry – a percentage continues to grow with each year that passes.

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

Between their inherently technical nature, multiple varieties and sub-varieties, and endless terminology, cryptocurrency (defined here as digital or virtual currencies that are encrypted using cryptography, powered by the immutable digital ledger known as the blockchain) represents a whole, complex world.All altcoins possess their own blockchain, independent from their source code, that records all transactions of their native coins. Many altcoins are variants, or forks, of Bitcoin that leverage that cryptocurrency’s open-source protocol as the basis.

Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Where smaller, more volatile companies can placate shareholders with higher returns, larger companies often use dividend payouts to entice new investors and hold their existing ones. These low-risk options may not work for every investment approach, but dividend-producing stocks can offer great benefits under the right circumstances – especially for portfolios built for the long-term.Beyond the ability to rely on these semi-regular payouts as an income stream – a strategy favored by retirees – dividends are an excellent vehicle for compounding earnings through reinvestment.
