Context

• Sales by executives can be routine (diversification, liquidity, tax reasons) and do not by themselves indicate a change in company prospects. This sale is modest in dollar terms relative to McDonald’s large market capitalization. For investors who track insider activity, purchases often carry more informational weight than routine sales.
