FAQ · McDonald's Q1 FY2026
How much revenue did McDonald's report in Q1 FY2026?
McDonald's reported $6.52 billion in revenue for Q1 FY2026, the quarter ended March 31, 2026. That is up 9.4% from $5.96 billion in the same quarter a year earlier, an increase helped substantially by favorable foreign currency translation.
What was McDonald's earnings per share in Q1 FY2026?
McDonald's reported diluted earnings per share of $2.78 for Q1 FY2026, up 6.9% from $2.60 a year earlier, and net income of $1.98 billion, up 6.2%. Almost all of that reported growth came from favorable foreign currency translation; in constant currencies, McDonald's earnings per share and net income were close to flat against the year-ago quarter.
How much did McDonald's comparable sales grow in Q1 FY2026?
Global comparable sales at McDonald's rose 3.8% in Q1 FY2026, the quarter ended March 31, 2026, after a decline of 1.0% in the same quarter a year earlier.
What were McDonald's systemwide sales in Q1 FY2026?
Systemwide sales, which cover restaurants run by franchisees and licensees as well as the ones McDonald's operates itself, were $34.23 billion in Q1 FY2026, up 10.7% from $30.94 billion a year earlier, though roughly half of that reported increase came from favorable foreign currency translation and growth in constant currencies was considerably smaller. McDonald's own revenue of $6.52 billion is far smaller because most of its restaurants are franchised and pay rent and royalties rather than remitting their sales.

How this page was built
This page was built from McDonald's Corporation's own filings with the SEC, read one at a time, and nothing on it is taken from a pre-tagged dataset, a data vendor or another website. The figures are on the company's own fiscal calendar and in actual dollars, as the filings report them. Where the filings do not support a figure, the record says so instead of reporting a zero; this period names six such gaps.
A single company files thousands of pages with the SEC in a year, and no two companies file them the same way, so the reading and the assembly here are done by AI rather than by rules that break on the differences. Every pass is then audited back against the filings it came from before the page is published, and anything the filings do not support is left out and named rather than filled in. AI can still make mistakes. That is why the accession numbers are printed: the filing is the authority, and this page is a route to it.
