McDonald’s Wednesday Report Quarterly earnings and revenue exceeded analyst expectations as Buzzy Promotions helped its U.S. restaurant rebound.
The company’s shares rose 3% in listing trading.
According to LSEG’s survey of analysts, the company reported what the company reported:
- Earnings per share: $3.19 adjusted with expected $3.15
- income: $6.84 billion vs. $6.7 billion expected
The fast food restaurant reported net revenue of $2.25 billion, or $3.14 a share in the second quarter, up from $2.02 billion a year ago, or $2.80 a share.
Excluding restructuring fees and other items, McDonald’s earnings per share are $3.19.
Revenue rose 5% to $6.84 billion. CEO Chris Kempczinski believes that system sales increased 6% of the chain’s value, marketing and new menu items in the quarter.
Same-store sales, a restaurant that can only track performance for openings for at least one year, rose 3.8%, the chain’s biggest growth in nearly two years.
Same-store sales at McDonald’s U.S. restaurants rose 2.5%, reversing two domestic sales declines.
Last quarterExecutives say low- and middle-income diners are coming to the market at a lower frequency, which puts pressure on sales. But in the quarter, the sales of burger chains may be from “Minecraft” movie and the launch of McCrispy chicken strips.
Outside the United States, demand for its Big Mac and French fries is even stronger. The chain’s international development licensing market segment includes Japan and China, reporting a 5.6% increase in same-store sales. Same-store sales in market segments in their internationally operated markets grew by 4% due to growth in markets such as the UK, Australia and Canada.
