Hamburg. (bm) The analyst downgrades for McDonald’s stock came fast after a disappointing Q2/2014 financial statement. Wall Street firms used words like «deteriorating», «limited» and «uninspiring» to describe the fast food company and its business prospects – CBS News said in a «MoneyWatch» commentary. According to the news company, U.S. Analysts had stuck by the fast-food giant for a long time, even as global sales started to slide and one promotional stunt after another failed to take hold. Now, many of them are no longer willing to wait it out. McDonald’s shares fell by nearly three percent this week. Other topics of the week:
