McDonald’s reported quarterly earnings and revenue that beat analysts’ expectations, driven by a value-focused push that has boosted customer traffic.

Adjusted earnings per share came in at $3.12 versus the $3.05 expected, while revenue rose 10% to $7 billion, surpassing the $6.84 billion forecast.

Same-store sales climbed 5.7% overall, led by a 6.8% increase in the U.S., with promotions like the Grinch Meal and Monopoly contributing to strong traffic.

Internationally, nearly all markets saw growth, with 5.2% same-store sales in operated markets and 4.5% in developmental licensed markets, CNBC has reported.

Looking ahead to 2026, McDonald’s plans to open roughly 2,600 new restaurants, expand value meals, introduce new beverages, and lean into chicken offerings while adapting menu items for changing consumer trends.
