What happened
McDonald’s Corporation was trading near its 52-week low of $229.20, having declined 21.67% over twelve months. The company maintains a high operating margin of 46.49%. This margin is achieved because most restaurants are operated by franchisees, allowing McDonald's to collect rent and royalties rather than food sales proceeds.

Why it matters
The structure of McDonald's allows for predictable royalty income, which can be borrowed against. The company’s financial model involves buying back stock, a choice that can cause its book value per share to be negative by design.
