McDonald's delivered 4.3% global unit growth and a 1.3% bump in comparable sales in the second quarter. Meanwhile, 0.8% US comparable sales growth trailed the pack due to traffic losses. Global company-owned restaurant margin contracted 20 basis points to 15.3%.
McDonald’s is well-positioned to capture market share, despite the intensely competitive backdrop, thanks to its sharp value focus and ability to invest in traffic-driving promotions and menu innovation.
Rising beef costs and further minimum wage hikes could strain franchisees, limiting their appetite to deepen promotion in a weaker macroenvironment and possibly curtailing development prospects.
