If you believe PLAY can sustainably restore revenue growth and convert its high gross margin into materially stronger operating and net margins, then PLAY could merit a re-rating; otherwise, the current discount is rational because MCD is far superior on growth, profitability, ROIC, and leverage.
PLAY trades at 0.2x P/S and 0.9x EV/Revenue versus MCD at 7.0x and 8.5x, so the valuation gap is extreme on sales-based measures. The implied price of $424.28 versus a current price of $11.56 suggests a large mechanical upside, but MCD comparison is distorted because MCD is a much higher-quality, more profitable business.
