McDonalds - Dividend Aristocrat to Correct by 30%?

Short

NYSE:MCD   McDonald's Corporation
Are we about to observe similar drop for the global giant MCD that we saw in 2020?

These are few points that may trigger it:

Fundamental indicators:
  • Recession - warning macro signals suggest that world economies are slowing down and recession is possible within a year, this may be reflected in the forecast of the company, like any other in S&P500
  • Eastern Europe conflict - suspension of business in Russia will certainly have an impact on earnings
  • P/E - is quite high at 25x and possible correction may let some steam out of the overpriced stock
  • Liabilities - rising against assets and equity which may be at uncomfortable levels for investors

Technically:
  • Since the significant drop we saw in 2020 there was a hype in the market linked to Fed 'money printing', however the bull run is difficult associate with an impulse. Hence this is a complex running correction forming with double zig-zags. And one of the distinctive points of this correction is that waves W and Y are very symmetrical and of the similar amplitude
  • The potential correction may be very rapid after the earnings report and reach levels of $190 to $170.

Alternative scenario - if the report comes out positive then wave X may continue extending and to update current highs before repeating this significant correction

What are your thoughts about this scenario?
