McDonald’s is proving its defensive strength.
The fast food giant beat expectations as global sales rose 5.7% and US revenue climbed despite pressure on consumer spending. While rivals like Chipotle saw sales slip, McDonald’s gained market share with its value offerings and high-profile marketing campaigns.
In this video, Mark Robinson joins Dan Jones to break down what’s driving the outperformance, whether GLP-1 weight-loss drugs pose a real threat, and whether the stock still makes sense at current valuations. Is McDonald’s the ultimate defensive play for 2026?
