McDonald's taps Skye Anderson as US chief as Q2 growth slows
McDonald's posted 1.3% global same-store sales growth in Q2 (below consensus) with US comps up 0.8% (below expectations), and named Skye Anderson as president of McDonald's USA as part of its McDonald’s Next growth plan. Management cited execution and menu-mix issues—such as the rollout of a new value menu and too many new items—that pressured service times and customer satisfaction. Adjusted EPS rose to $3.32 on $7.1B revenue, and the stock remains down year-to-date ahead of a September investor meeting.
