McDonald's rebounds in US in 2nd quarter
August 6, 2025
McDonald's came out on top in its Q2 earnings report, besting analysts' expectations.
Earnings per share came in at $3.19 adjusted versus the expected $3.15. Revenue topped out at $6.84 billion versus $6.7 billion expected.
The Chicago-based burger company reported net income of $2.25 billion, up from $2.02 billion a year prior.
The brand reported its revenue rose 5% to $6.84 billion, which Chris Kempczinski, CEO, credited to new menu items, its value proposition and heavy marketing appeal.
Same-store sales rose 3.8% — McDonald's biggest increase in two years.
"Our 6% global systemwide sales growth this quarter is a testament to the power of compelling value, standout marketing, and menu innovation — proving again that when we stay focused on executing what matters most to our customers, we grow," Kempczinski said in the report. "Our technology investments and ability to scale digital solutions at speed will continue to elevate the McDonald's experience for customers, crew, and our global system."
Though the company has had two straight quarters of domestic declines, it reported that same-store sales growth rose 2.5%.
McDonald's has more than 14,700 units in the U.S.
