BTIG Research reaffirmed a Buy rating and kept its USD 295.00 price target for McDonald's on October 26, 2026, according to MarketBeat. At USD 248.62 on the NYSE, that target stood 18.65 percent above the stock price on October 27, 2026. McDonald's stock was trading at EUR 223.20 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 5:46 p.m. CEST, down 0.76 percent versus the Xetra close of October 26, 2026 at EUR 224.90.

Revenue reached USD 7.10 billion

McDonald's generated USD 7.10 billion in revenue during the second quarter of 2026, while diluted earnings per share came to USD 3.32. MarketBeat reported that earnings per share exceeded the USD 3.32 consensus estimate in the quarter, while revenue increased 3.70 percent from the prior year to USD 7.10 billion. The comparison points to stronger earnings delivery than revenue growth.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The NYSE quote of USD 248.62 on October 27, 2026 placed McDonald's 27.25 percent below its 52-week high of USD 341.75 and 8.20 percent above its 52-week low of USD 229.20. Its market capitalization stood at USD 175.9 billion, and the price-to-earnings ratio was 20.20 on the same date. The euro quotation and the US quotation describe separate venues and currencies.

Results date sets the next checkpoint

McDonald's is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results on November 4, 2026, before the US market opens, according to El-Fondo. The cited consensus calls for USD 3.42 in earnings per share and USD 7.36 billion in revenue for that quarter. Those estimates give the November report a clear numerical test against the USD 3.32 earnings per share and USD 7.10 billion revenue reported for the second quarter.

Peer context stays secondary

For investors, the key contrast is between a USD 295.00 analyst target and the stock's USD 248.62 NYSE price, alongside the upcoming earnings test. The current euro quotation remains below the October 26 Xetra close even as the analyst target implies a materially higher US-dollar valuation. No causal link between the daily move and the analyst view is established in the cited reports.

Price and dates at a glance

McDonald's combines a USD 175.9 billion market value with a 20.20 price-to-earnings ratio and a November 4, 2026 reporting date. The next results will determine whether the second-quarter earnings advantage can continue while revenue expectations stand at USD 7.36 billion.
