McDonald’s Q2 Preview: World Cup, New $3 Menu, Higher Gas Prices – Which Theme Wins Out?

McDonald's is preparing to release its second-quarter earnings, with analysts expecting revenue of $7.13 billion and EPS of $3.32. The company faces challenges such as declining visits and a foodborne illness outbreak, but has potential offsets from its World Cup partnership and new value menus. Investors will be watching to see whether these positive factors can counteract the negative trends, especially given the stock is trading at 24-month lows.
