据外媒报道,麦当劳董事怀特(Miles D. White)15日表示,该公司正评估是否分拆所持有的大量美国地产,近期或公布最终结果。
据报道,麦当劳长期以来一直强调持有不动产的重要性,但近期由于本业销售低迷,部分投资人和分析师不断呼吁分拆旗下的美国不动产,成为类似不动产信托基金(REIT)的形式,以回馈股东。
自新执行长伊斯特布鲁克(Steve Easterbrook)3月接任后便开始聘雇外部顾问和财务专家,评估此事的可行性。麦当劳的高层近几个月也都说正评估提升股东价值的各种可行方案。

McDonald's board and management haven't made a decision yet, but “we have had a lot of review and a lot of debate,” said Mr. White, chief executive of Abbott Laboratories and head of the corporate-governance committee for McDonald's board.
