The net profit of McDonald’s increased by 11% to $2.25 billion (€1.95 billion) in the second quarter of 2025, the fast-food company announced today.
The Chicago-based company reported that its revenue rose 5% to $6.8 billion (€5.89 billion) from April to June.
This figure exceeded Wall Street’s forecast of $6.7 billion (€5.80 billion), according to analysts consulted by FactSet.
Same-store sales, or sales at locations open for at least a year, rose nearly 4%. Analysts had predicted a decline of 1%.
Adjusted for restructuring costs and other one-time items, the company earned $3.14 per share.
Some of McDonald’s competitors did not perform as well from April to June. Yum Brands, owner of KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, reported lower-than-expected revenues on Tuesday and stated that sales at KFC stores in the U.S. fell 5%.
