Introduction
When we think about Arcos Dorados, we think of it as a Brazilian stock. Not because it's actually Brazilian, but most of its restaurants (933 of its 2191 restaurants) are based in Brazil.
In truth, the company is actually active in 20 regions south of the USA. Among those regions are: Argentina and yes, also Venezuela. Two regions that are experiencing major socio-economic stress.
And as if that wasn't enough, Arcos also has to deal with the political and economic turmoil of Brazil due to the recent truck drivers' strike and the upcoming elections.
