What the Analysts think about McDonald's

Bulls say / Bears say
McDonald’s global comparable sales fell 1% in Q2 2025—the first decline in 13 quarters—missing analysts’ forecasts of a 0.5% increase and indicating weaker consumer demand across the system (Reuters).
U.S. comparable sales dropped 0.7% in Q2 2025 compared to a 10.3% increase a year earlier, as low-income consumers facing inflationary pressure reduced visits to McDonald’s restaurants (Reuters).
International markets reported a 1.1% decline in Q2 2025 sales, reflecting weakness in France, a slower-than-expected recovery in China, and consumer boycotts related to the Gaza conflict, which affected locally operated restaurants (Reuters).
