McDonald's Corporation

Analyst Ratings Synthesis

The supplied consensus is Buy across 34 analysts. Reported targets are $290 at the low, $315 at the mean, and $305 at the high; because the stated high is below the mean, the range is internally inconsistent and its true breadth cannot be determined from the evidence. No named analyst is identified as the most or least bullish in the supplied material. JPMorgan Chase lowered its target from $325 to $305 on May 11, 2026, while Weiss Ratings downgraded McDonald’s from Buy (B-) to Hold (C+) on May 29, 2026. Separately, Simply Wall St. says recent research has been skewed toward higher targets and upgrades. No attributable rating revisions during this week are documented. The substantive disagreement centers on brand strength, digital investment, franchising, and valuation versus slower expansion, consumer pressure, and development costs.
