McDonald's topped Wall Street's second-quarter earnings estimates Tuesday even as U.S. same-store sales growth slowed sharply and domestic guest traffic declined, a mixed report that arrived alongside the company's announcement of a new McDonald's USA president. Net revenue climbed 4% to $7.1 billion, roughly in line with analyst expectations near $7.13 billion. Global same-store sales rose 1.3% for the quarter, meeting Wall Street's expectations, but the headline figure masked a sharp divergence between McDonald's international and domestic performance. McDonald's also named Skye Anderson as president of McDonald's USA, effective Tuesday. The divergence between steady international growth and weakening U.S. traffic also points to broader pressure on lower-income American households that form a core part of McDonald's domestic customer base, a dynamic that value-focused competitors across the quick-service industry have flagged as well.
