McDonald's Reports Q3 2026 Results with 1% Revenue Growth and Dividend Increase
McDonald's (MCD) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $7.2 billion, a 1% increase driven by global comparable sales and system expansion. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share rose 11% on a constant currency basis to $3.57, excluding restructuring charges. While international markets like Japan and Germany showed strength, U.S. comparable sales saw a slight decline of 0.2% due to lower guest counts, though average check growth provided some offset. The company is actively addressing consumer demand through value-based interventions, including an eight-week pricing test in 1,900 U.S. restaurants and the expansion of Extra Value Meal platforms. Additionally, McDonald's announced a 4% increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $1.93 per share. Looking forward, management plans to expand specialty beverage offerings across Europe and deploy 'Archy' automated drive-through technology throughout much of the U.S. by late 2027.
