What does the world think of McDonald's?

Mixed

Score in full report

Current coverage splits sharply: McDonald's remains a culturally dominant brand with enormous everyday usage, an App Store rating of 4.8 from roughly 7.7 million ratings and genuine hype around collaborations and collectibles, yet the tone of recent independent coverage is soft. Q2 results beat estimates but reporting focused on slowing US sales, a value-deal push the CEO admitted fell short, a share price down about 11 percent this year and a widely discussed story about the chain losing lower-income customers. Social conversation is dominated by affordability jokes and high-engagement critic
