McDonald’s stock heads into Monday near $307 after Truist target hike — here’s what could move it next

McDonald’s stock starts 2026 lower: what MCD investors watch before Monday

McDonald’s stock starts 2026 lower: what MCD investors watch before Monday

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. The Dow rose 0.7% and the S&P 500 gained 0.2%, while the Nasdaq finished little changed. AP News The move matters because investors often treat McDonald’s as a defensive consumer name, and relative weakness early in the year can signal caution around restaurant demand and cost pressure. With fourth-quarter earnings season approaching, traders are also sensitive to any shift in the interest-rate

McDonald’s (MCD) stock slips today as consumer discretionary lags, rate focus returns

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 15:24 ET — Regular session McDonald’s shares fell 0.7% to $303.38 in late-afternoon trading on Friday, starting 2026 on the back foot as investors trimmed exposure to consumer-facing names. The move matters now because trading volumes are returning after the holiday lull, and the market’s attention is shifting back to interest rates and consumer demand. Consumer discretionary stocks were among the day’s laggards in early action, a pressure point for restaurant operators that rely on steady traffic. Reuters Next week brings the first major slate of U.S. economic reports of the year, including the monthly

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

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. It also shows how social media is reshaping that fight, turning promotional pricing into a public, brand-versus-brand argument about what counts as a “deal.” In the post, Chili’s

Chili’s takes aim at McDonald’s value meals with $10.99 deal as diners balk at fast-food prices

Chili’s takes aim at McDonald’s value meals with $10.99 deal as diners balk at fast-food prices

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 18:14 ET Chili’s Grill & Bar took aim at McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King on Wednesday, arguing that fast-food value meals no longer feel like a bargain and promoting its own $10.99 burger-and-sides deal. The post landed as McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski told investors, “We continue to see a bifurcated consumer base,” a reference to spending splitting between higher- and lower-income diners. Fox News+1 The exchange matters now because value is becoming a front-line battleground in U.S. dining, with more consumers watching every dollar as food inflation and higher menu prices squeeze budgets.

McDonald’s stock today: MCD edges down as Fed minutes, year-end trade keep investors cautious

McDonald’s stock today: MCD edges down as Fed minutes, year-end trade keep investors cautious

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:29 ET — Regular session McDonald’s Corp shares edged lower on Tuesday, trading at $308.37, down 0.05% in late-afternoon dealings. The timing matters. With two sessions left in the year, trading volumes tend to thin out, and small shifts in positioning can move stocks more than usual, especially in defensive names investors use to park cash. Portfolio managers also use the final week of December to trim big winners and rebalance exposure for January. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at

McDonald’s stock slips into the close as year-end trading turns choppy — what investors watch next for MCD

McDonald’s stock slips into the close as year-end trading turns choppy — what investors watch next for MCD

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:56 ET — Market closed McDonald’s shares ended down 0.7% at $308.53 on Monday, extending a soft start to the final week of the year for the Dow component. The decline matters now because year-end positioning and thin liquidity can amplify routine moves in large, widely held names, even without fresh company-specific news. Reuters Markets are also heading into a holiday-shortened stretch, with just two U.S. trading days left before the year ends and markets closed Thursday for New Year’s Day.

McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) News on Dec. 25, 2025: Christmas Day Hours, 2026 Value Rules, and Wall Street Forecasts

McDonald’s Corporation heads into Christmas Day 2025 with two storylines dominating the headlines: the practical question of which restaurants are open today, and the higher-stakes strategic shift now looming for 2026—new global franchising standards designed to sharpen “value leadership” across the system. For consumers, the takeaway is straightforward: many McDonald’s locations are open on Christmas Day, but operating hours are largely a franchise decision and can vary sharply by store. Axios For investors, the conversation is broader. The company is preparing to tighten accountability around value outcomes starting January 1, 2026, while analysts’ price targets cluster in the low-to-mid $300s

McDonald’s Stock (NYSE: MCD) Week Ahead: Holiday-Shortened Trading, “Value Reset” Momentum, Dividend Support, and Analyst Targets (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

As investors head into Christmas week, McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) enters a shortened trading calendar with a familiar positioning: a low-volatility, dividend-paying consumer brand that many market participants treat as a “steady compounder” during uncertain macro stretches. But the headline theme into the final full week before year-end isn’t just defensiveness. It’s value—specifically, how McDonald’s is trying to rebuild traffic among pressured consumers, while also tightening how franchise pricing and “value perception” are managed across the system.
