McDonald's Q2 Profit Rises Amid Slower US Sales Growth and Leadership Change
McDonald's reported a higher second-quarter profit of $2.36 billion and revenue of $7.1 billion, slightly below expectations. However, US same-store sales growth slowed to 0.8%, down from 2.5% the previous year, affected by tough competition, higher gasoline prices, and cautious consumer spending. The company introduced value meals and appointed Skye Anderson as president of McDonald's USA to address these challenges and revive momentum in its largest market.
