Fast food giant McDonald's delivered fresh evidence to investors that its prolonged turnaround effort is gaining traction.

The Dow component reported quarterly earnings and revenue that topped estimates on Thursday, snapping a streak of sales contractions at established restaurants in the U.S.

Following the report, McDonald's stock jumped to an all-time high, boosting the Dow by 47 points. (Click here to track the fast food chain's shares.)
 
I went to McDonalds. They didn't have the McGriddle anymore. I left.
Don't tease me with breakfast if you don't continue to sell your best item.
 
But the disgruntled chains said...

Yes, it's going to be harder. Buy giving people what they want obviously will boost any sagging business.
 
They need to change up their market strategy... Stop separating markets by biscuits vs mcmuffins. Makes no sense.

Yeah they need to take the vastly superior biscuit worldwide. Fuck a McMuffin, but a sausage and egg biscuit? Yes please.

Who goes to McDs for biscuits? Especially when Bojangles and Hardee's/Carls Jr has infinitely better biscuits, and Bojangles also serves theirs all day.

This is true also(i'd add DQ to the list, and alas, there are no bojangles left in the area), but the biscuit, even if inferior to other biscuit competition, is still a million times better than the muffin.
 
The McMuffin's taste so much better in the afternoon/evening hours.

Probably because they are made fresh instead of ones that have been sitting under the hot lamp since 6am
 
As somebody who worked at mcdonnalds as a kid, doubling the items a cook has to make will suck horribly. I'm so glad I don't have to work those jobs any more.
 
The Waffle Slider breakfast sandwiches at White Castle absolutely WRECKS McGriddles.

At my White Castles they serve them all the time.
 
Nice to see it do well for them. They were hemorrhaging money, right?

No, they weren't hemorrhaging money. They were making plenty of money, but they weren't meeting expected earnings so investors soured on them a bit. As for breakfast all day, no one will know the impact of that until early next year. That just launched two weeks ago and isn't reflected in this earnings report.
 
i came in here to complain about the lack of mcgriddles but i see the fine folk have spoken for me

carry on, mcdonalds... i have my eye on you
 
My market has biscuits and that's all that matters.

The McD's near me seems to have handled the transition great. Breakfast food is fresh regardless of the time and the lines move just as quickly as before.

It's still pretty dumb that they went with this either/or approach for biscuits and muffins.
 
My mother is a supervisor for a McDonald's franchise and was saying how breakfast is much more popular than expected. There was concern that the slimmed down breakfast menu would also frustrate people which hasn't really happened. She was also saying how it's been a huge money maker because food costs of breakfast are much much lower than the regular menu so the offset has does a lot for profit margins at a time where they're getting killed on costs.

Who goes to McDonald's for anything, really. Most other food > McGriddle > Fast food breakfast > McMuffin > Detritus

I think I made this through laziness once when I didn't want to go to the store and just combined some things I had left in the fridge.
 
I don't see where this has anything to do with breakfast all day. This was the third quarter ending September 30th, while the breakfast thing didn't begin until October.
 
Are they going back up again or is it them grinding down there assets. I mean it's easy to increase profits without increasing sales and trick the market.

That's pretty much what I make at home every time I have all those ingredients at once. (Which was very often in the past). Seems like a no brainer tbh.
