McDonald's Q2 2026: revenue up 4%, EPS up 6%, U.S. comps lag
McDonald's put up a solid quarter: revenue rose 4% to $7.10 billion, diluted EPS rose 6% to $3.32, and every segment posted positive comparable sales. Adjusted EPS of $3.38 just cleared the $3.3487 consensus. The catch is the U.S., where comparable sales grew only 0.8% on negative guest counts. View: Bullish, on global breadth rather than American momentum.
