McDonald’s Q2 2026 Earnings: Revenue Grows as Comparable Sales Slow

McDonald’s Q2 2026 revenue rose 4% to $7.10 billion, while diluted EPS increased 6% to $3.32 and net income advanced 5% to $2.36 billion. Global comparable sales remained positive across all three segments but slowed to 1.3% from 3.8% a year earlier, with U.S. comparable sales up 0.8% as higher average checks were partly offset by lower guest counts. Higher franchised margins and other operating income supported profit growth, while higher selling, general and administrative expenses remained a pressure point.
