McDonald's Shares Down 30% as Price Hikes Fuel Backlash
Original: McDonald’s Selloff Hits 30% as Big Mac Inflation Spurs Pushback
McDonald's stock has fallen roughly 30% as customers push back against steep price increases for items like the Big Mac. The burger chain's years of aggressive menu inflation have reportedly alienated low-income diners, its core customer base, prompting complaints about paying far more for familiar combo meals. Investors are watching whether the company can win back price-sensitive customers and reverse the slump.
Why now: McDonald's steep share decline and customer anger over menu price inflation are making headlines simultaneously.
