Following earnings, the firm revised its Q4 and FY25 EPS forecasts down slightly and updated its 12-month forward estimates accordingly. The firm maintains its position due to the perception of constrained opportunities for substantial positive EPS adjustments within the franchise model, especially with the continuation of modest top-line growth.
McDonald's Q3 earnings surpassed expectations, with beneficial SG&A and other income compensating for the weaker comparable store sales and the margin effects stemming from their value offerings.
