McDonald’s Insiders Sell Shares! Investors Should Do the Opposite

McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) insiders are selling shares of this in 2025, but investors should do the opposite. The Insider selling is inconsequential despite its broad nature due to the company’s use of share-based compensation and insider selling trends. MCD insiders, including numerous EVPs, presidents, the CMO, the CEO, and directors, have sold shares in small, regularly spaced amounts over the past two to three years as they take money earned off the table. 

MarketBeat tracks insider sales in 2025, which amount to about $9.2 million. This is a drop in the bucket compared to the $2.8 billion in share repurchases in 2024 and the outlook for buybacks in 2025.
