Share of Combined Market Value

MCD 60%SBUX 40%

Both are global restaurant chains with different revenue structures: most McDonald's restaurants are franchised, so much of its revenue is rent and royalties, while Starbucks runs most of its stores itself and carries their costs directly.

Each series is converted to a percentage of its own starting point, so all of them begin at zero. What is compared is the return over the period, not price levels.
