MCD logoMcDonald's (MCD - option chain) shares are rising today after the company announced this morning that its January same-store sales rose 5.3% worldwide, while US same-store sales rose 3.1%. Analysts were expecting sales to rise 4.5%. MCD cited January snowstorms for the disappointing US performance, but super strong performance in Europe, up 7%, is offsetting the weaker US. This stock has been in a bit of a downward slide over the past month or so, but today's data and the stock's reaction could signal a change in fortunes. If you think that the stock won't fall by too much in the coming months, then now could be a good time to look at a bullish hedged trade on MCD.

MCD opened this morning at $74.37. So far today the stock has hit a low of $74.20 and a high of $75.97. As of 12:00, MCD is trading at $75.70 up $2.25 (3.0%). The chart for MCD looks neutral and S&P gives MCD a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold ranking.

Though the company was pleased with results from its Macau properties, company CEO Steve Wynn told a conference call that the company has a bearish outlook for its Las Vegas properties. If you think this stock won't be rising too far in the coming months, then it could be a good time to look at a bearish hedged play on WYNN.

This morning, WYNN opened at $62.49. So far today the stock has hit a high of $63.11 and a low of $61.18. As of 11:55, WYNN is trading at $62.39, down 41 cents (-0.6%). The chart for WYNN looks neutral and S&P gives WYNN a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold ranking.

Limited Brands (LTD - option chain) shares are rising today after the company reported earnings last night, posting a fourth-quarter profit of $356.11 million or $1.08 per share. Excluding one-time items, LTD earned $1.01 per share on revenue of $3.06 billion. Analysts had forecast a profit of 98 cents per share on revenue of $3.05 billion.
