Executive Summary
McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD) reported revenues of $5.956 billion for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a decline of 3.45% year-over-year (YoY) and a 6.76% drop compared to the previous quarter (QoQ). This performance is attributed to macroeconomic pressures and a 1% decline in comparable sales globally due to subdued consumer sentiment, particularly among lower-income cohorts. The management remains optimistic about the company's resilience supported by a robust value proposition, highlighted by the successful launch of their McValue platform and marketing initiatives like the Minecraft Movie Meal. This strategic focus aims to attract a broader consumer base and drive traffic growth, despite continuing economic challenges.
