The coronavirus outbreak in China has forced McDonald’s to temporarily close its 3,000-plus restaurants there. Assuming the virus’s spread continues to slow in China, the closures would have only a small impact on the company given that China supplies just 3% of its earnings.
Meanwhile, McDonald’s plan to build long-term value by shifting more of its stores to franchisees continues to pay off for investors....

Consumers continue to shift to more-healthful foods with less sugar and salt. That has forced many makers of packaged foods to improve the quality of their products—and so protect value for investors. Industry leaders are also using acquisitions to bolster their current offerings....
We often remind our readers that spinoffs are a great way for companies to unlock hidden value. A good example is eBay’s move in 2015 to set up its payment-processing business, PayPal, as a separate company.
