The move comes after McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD) reported better-than-expected results in its Q1 report on May 7, with the foodservice retailer topping estimates in both profits and revenue. The company’s global comparable sales surged by 3.8% during the quarter, up from a 1% decline reported last year.

Ian Borden, McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD)’s CFO, flagged a weaker start to the second quarter due to the high fuel prices putting persistent pressure on low-income consumers and turning sales slightly negative in April. However, the company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 financial guidance and reiterated its plan to expand to about 50,000 restaurants by the end of 2027.
