McDonald’s shares slide to a $263.65 52-week low ahead of Aug. 4 Q2 2026 earnings

AI Market Summary
McDonald's hit a new 52-week low near $263.65 (about 23% below its March peak) as investors brace for Q2 2026 earnings on Aug. 4. Consensus expectations point to weaker U.S. same-store sales (around -2%) and softer traffic (-4.6% YoY), limiting near-term confidence in a rebound despite a cheaper forward P/E (~20.4x, lowest since 2018). The setup increases event risk and sensitivity to guidance.
