Comparable Sales Return to Global Growth🧔 But Decline in US

McDonald's said Monday that global 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:comparable sales rose 0.4%, better than the 0.41% drop analysts had expected. Its global comparable sales had declined each of the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:last two quarters.

However, comparable sales dropped 1.4% in the U.S., more than analysts had expected, as McDonald's dealt with 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:the impact of an 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:October E. coli outbreak that affected 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:traffic in several states.

Executives have acknowledged over the last year that McDonald's prices had risen too high for many consumers, as many Americans with strained budgets turned away from spending on fast food. The chain responded by launching new 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:value-centric deals last summer, with a number of 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:new promotions rolled out at the start of 2025 as McDonald's looks to win back customers.
