McDonald's Names New US President After 0.8% Q2 Sales Gain Misses Estimates

Summary
McDonald’s installed a new US president to add “focus and urgency” in its home market after established US restaurant sales rose just 0.8% in the second quarter.
That was the chain’s slowest US growth since the start of 2025 and fell short of analysts’ average estimate, underscoring weaker demand from American diners.
Higher check sizes from pricier menu items partly cushioned results, but that lift was offset by a decline in customer visits.
The reshuffle highlights pressure on McDonald’s biggest market as consumers pull back, even with the company still trying to drive growth through stronger execution.
