McDonald's shares fell over 4% after the company announced an $8.5 billion franchisee support plan through 2036, including $5 billion by 2030, aimed at modernizing restaurants and improving operations. The plan includes rent relief and capital contributions as part of the NEXT strategy, which focuses on technology deployment and enhancing food quality and customer experience. Investors are worried about the near-term cash flow impact, though McDonald's expects efficiency gains and improved margins by 2030. The company also delayed its goal of reaching 50,000 restaurants worldwide from 2027 to 2028 due to cautious consumer spending and higher construction costs.
