McDonald's tests new value menu amid rising fast-food discount competition

McDonald's has started an eight-week trial of new value menu options in about 1,900 U.S. restaurants, introducing mix-and-match combos and fixed bundles. This move aims to strengthen its value proposition as visits to its outlets fell 6.2% in the third quarter. The test reflects McDonald's response to intensifying discount battles in the fast-food industry. The company plans to roll out these new value meals more broadly next year if the trial proves successful.

McDonald's (MCD) shares rose 6.29% to USD 279.59 as of Nov 05, 2026 03:51 WIB on Pluang. The stock trades below its 52-week high of USD 341.06 but above its 52-week low of USD 230.88. Despite a 90% sell order activity on Pluang, the company maintains a dividend yield of 2.93%.
