McDonald's Earnings: What to Watch

McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) business has been setting new records in 2021, but its stock returns haven't been as impressive. McDonald's last quarterly update contained plenty of encouraging growth news, with comparable-store sales returning to gains and global sales finally surpassing 2019 levels following a tough pandemic year. As for competition, McDonald's is hoping its drive-thru dominance, plus rising customer satisfaction, will help it fend off a flood of new entrants in the delivery and mobile ordering niche.
