McDonald's is forecasted to report first-quarter earnings slightly below Wall Street expectations due to softer consumer demand in March, leading Jefferies to lower same-store sales estimates for both US and international markets. Despite this near-term softness, McDonald's is positioned to gain market share through value offerings, marketing, and digital growth. Jefferies maintains a "Buy" rating with a $375 price target, expecting earnings growth to accelerate later in 2026. The company will report earnings on May 7.
