McDonald’s stock heads into CPI week after Friday dip — what’s next for MCD

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 15:40 EST — Market closed McDonald’s Corp shares (MCD.N) closed Friday at $307.32, slipping 0.51%. About 3 million shares traded as investors braced for a week packed with U.S. inflation and consumer demand reports.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 15:53 ET — Market closed McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) shares ended down 0.8% at $303.26 on Friday, lagging a modest rise in the broader market on the first U.S. trading day of 2026.

Chili’s jabs at McDonald’s ‘value meals’ with $10.99 deal as diners watch prices

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 19:24 ET Chili’s Grill & Bar took a swipe at fast-food value meals this week, promoting a $10.99 burger-and-sides deal on X and saying there is little value left in the bundles many chains advertise. X (formerly Twitter) The exchange matters now because restaurant brands are fighting harder for price-conscious diners who are comparing what they pay at the drive-thru with what they can get sitting down.
