The companies that you cite appear to be quality companies in decline. MCD and KO are becoming less relevant as society's tastes and habits change. XOM and COP pay their dividends via financing and are having greater and greater difficulty in replacing reserves. None will collapse over night, but I think that they all have potential to become dead money value traps.
