McDonald's plans new value bundles next year after U.S. traffic falls in third quarter - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

McDonald's U.S. sales begin to rebound

McDonald's U.S. sales see a recovery after a weak third quarter. The company's stock gained value as earnings beat estimates and U.S. restaurants displayed better performance. Despite a value push, U.S. sales showed a decrease for the first time in six quarters. McDonald's plans to bring in new value bundles next year following a decline in U.S. traffic amid inflation. A new burger from McDonald's is receiving attention with rapper John Park.

“The company's stock gained value as earnings beat estimates and U.S,” — Elena Iversen, policy watcher at Healey Stow Partnership, observed.
