McDonald’s is set to report its first-quarter earnings, with analysts expecting earnings per share of $2.66 and revenue of $6.09 billion. The fast-food giant has been facing challenges in its home market, with expected declines in U.S. same-store sales for the second straight quarter. Despite this, McDonald’s plans to attract customers with value meals and new menu items like snack wraps.

CFO Ian Borden anticipates the first quarter to be the low point for McDonald’s same-store sales, citing a weak start to the year in the U.S. Trade conflicts and consumer sentiment have also impacted sales, with concerns about a recession looming. Despite these challenges, McDonald’s shares have risen by 15% this year, increasing its market value to nearly $26 billion.
