McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) shares are currently trading at $270.64, down about 21% from their 52-week high of $341.75, but still 4% above their 52-week low. The company’s dividend yield is approximately 2.7%. Despite the decline in its stock price, McDonald’s has achieved global comparable sales growth in each of the past four quarters. In the first quarter of 2026, revenue rose 9% year-over-year to approximately $6.5 billion, operating profit increased 12% to nearly $3 billion, and earnings per share grew 7% to $2.78. Analysts note that the stock price decline stems primarily from investors applying lower valuation multiples to McDonald’s earnings, rather than a decline in the company’s profitability. Its market capitalization has shrunk by approximately $50 billion to about $191 billion, yet the business continues to grow.
