McDonald's Reports Q1 Earnings With US Same-Store Sales Rising for Fourth Straight Quarter

McDonald's released its Q1 2026 earnings on May 7, with US same-store sales growing for the fourth consecutive quarter as the company's value strategy and new menu items helped offset broader consumer spending softness.

McDonald's released its first quarter 2026 financial report on May 7th before market open.

Analysts expected the company to earn $2.74 per share with revenue reaching $6.47 billion. U.S. same-store sales are projected to grow approximately 3.9%, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of positive growth.

Last year's E. coli incident had caused the company's sales to decline significantly, so this year's recovery is relatively straightforward. McDonald's recently launched several value-for-money combo meals to attract cost-conscious customers.

Despite the overall consumer environment remaining relatively soft, the company's global store count continues to grow.
