McDonald’s Corporation Stock Slides Before Earnings as Its Big Drink Bet Comes Due

McDonald’s Corporation Stock Slides Before Earnings as Its Big Drink Bet Comes Due

Shares of McDonald’s Corporation dropped 2.37% to end at $286.64 on Friday, lagging behind most restaurant stocks. Investors are eyeing next week’s earnings along with a new U.S. beverage launch, which the burger giant hopes will spark fresh growth. Starbucks finished higher, and Yum Brands declined, but by a smaller margin. Timing’s no small detail here. McDonald’s will post its first-quarter numbers before the bell on May 7. Wall Street’s looking for $2.75 a share in earnings and roughly $6.48 billion in revenue. Not much cushion if U.S. guest counts, value deals, or franchisee profits come in below par.

Mortgage rates cling to 6% as jobs data softens; Pizza Hut lines up 250 closures

A daily gauge dipped on Thursday after a run of downbeat employment data sparked a bond rally. The timing matters for buyers and sellers heading into the spring home-sales season, when activity usually picks up. Rates are hovering around their lowest levels in more than three years, and small changes can still shift affordability.

Taco Bell Approved Near Merry Hill as UK Fast-Food Expansion Accelerates and Christmas Toy Deals Intensify

December 23, 2025 — A new Taco Bell is on the way to one of the West Midlands’ busiest shopping corridors, after planners approved a move into a long-vacant retail park unit near Merry Hill. The decision lands during the peak Christmas rush, when retailers are fighting for footfall with late-season discounts — even as authorities warn families to avoid “too good to be true” toy bargains that could be counterfeit and unsafe. Together, the stories underline a wider December pattern: retail parks doubling down on food-and-drink anchors, and shoppers chasing value — whether that means a quick-service meal on a busy day out, or a last-minute toy deal before Christmas morning.
