Mon, 10 Feb 2025 McDonald's is about to report earnings. Here's what to expect

Shares of McDonald's have risen just 2% over the past year.
McDonald's is expected to report its fourth-quarter earnings on Monday. Despite a summer slowdown, sales had started to pick up due to value meals and a new menu item, the Chicken Big Mac. However, a fatal E. coli outbreak linked to Quarter Pounder burgers in October led to a sharp decline in traffic at McDonald's US restaurants. After switching suppliers for slivered onions, which were likely the cause of the outbreak, sales have slowly recovered. According to analysts, McDonald's US same-store sales are expected to fall 0.6% in the quarter and overall same-store sales to drop 1%, marking the third straight quarter of decline.
