why is mcdonald's doing this?hink you have to go back to the start of this conflict, october seven, after that alonya which owns the mcdonald's franchise in israel, said they would give free meals to many israeli soldiers. that sparked a boycott on the company. whether thatis a boycott on the company. whether that is related to this decision it is impossible to know. but they are ending a 30 year relationship in which essentially this franchisee has built up mcdonald's' reputation and the business in israel and now they are potting ways. if i could just read you a bit of the statement, mcdonald said we thank alonya group limited for building mcdonald's' business and brand and it goes on to say mcdonald's remains committed to the israeli market and maintaining a positive relationship with its customers in the market. that's crucial because it has lots of stores and 5000 employees. they have been told they will be kept on, that they will be taken over by mcdonald's. we have heard from the ceo in the past who is said

mcdonald's looking to a fourth straight drop. mcdonald's and starbucks reporting today. that's despite higher prices. let's talk more about this with brian harburg at morgan stanley. brian, good morning from london. i want to start off with mcdonald's. you have an overweight rating and target of 320. a 15% upside. higher than the street has it. what do you see with the company after the struggles earlier this year? >> good morning, frank. thanks for having me. i would say there will be sales deceleration this quarter. mcdonald's has been cautious about that over the last couple months in the u.s. and internationally. we feel on a relative bases this is a gainer despite the slower sales environment this year which hurts the peers where the environment and mcdonald's comes out in a better place over the competition. >> you know, a lot of times when we talk about mcdonald's, we talk about higher food prices and consumer being stretched. we forget the business is franc franchising. it is not making food. franchises increasing year over year at 10%. is there a danger of it no

let's take mcdonald's. lengths say mcdamaged's misses. >> misses on earnings. >> yeah. >> they have to say we raised the price too much. i want a burger that's less money. david, the franchisees don't want to take that hit. but they're not in sync with what the ceo and the shareholders are in sync with. i'm not calling for marlboro monday. what they have to do is say we're going to take the hit, cut our earnings, lower the price of our burgers. the franchisees take a hit and then you have to lower the price. >> they are not talking about price cuts, but they are talking about larger burgers. >> larger burgers are something that the franchisees can get behind. this is an era where, if you don't offer rollback, like walmart, costco, then you're just not going to get the numbers. mcdonald's doesn't have the numbers. brinker has a higher price. kevin hoffman can afford to raise prices. he's been willing to lose lower-end customers because he makes a lot of money offer the largest margarita maker in the country.

mcdonald's down 2%.ted a double beat on earnings and revenue but the stock is down a fraction. boycotts in the middle east weighing on mcdonald's and coca-cola's international sales. we'll get amazon after the bell tonight. that will likely be a market mover because it gives us a window into the consumer. followed by cvs health and then tomorrow cvs health and a apple is out on thursday, mark. what is your reaction to the earnings you've seen so far? are there trends that you can take away and what are you expecting from the big one, which is apple on thursday. >> let's start with this morning. i think it's pretty interesting that you have eli lilly, mcdonald's and coca-cola all reporting this morning because as cheryl and i were talking about, this is a trend that's going to be a strong trend, strong theme over the course of the next five to 10 years which is the glp-1 drugs, aka ozempic or munjaro and zepbound versus s foods and beverages that aren't quite as healthy. with coca-cola, volume was flat. p

mcdonald's is seeing a slowdown across several of its markets, the u.s.ncluded, and many large international markets. they are also seeing a slowdown among the lower income consumer and all income cohorts are visiting less often. what is really interesting here is mcdonald's is calling this out but we are not seeing it at domino's. domino's said the exact opposite yesterday come and support leg last week -- yesterday, and chipotle last week said the opposite. maybe a little more to mcdonald's than it is necessarily across the entire industry but they are seeing a slowdown. it is evident in the numbers we saw this morning. katie: interesting perspective when it comes to the competitive landscape of some of their peers who are not having as tough of a time, which raises the question, what does mcdonald's do here? you take a look at it seems like they may be focusing on potentially a nationwide value menu. hinting at that in a call with investors. would that be enough? what with the impact be? peter: so i think that is in the playbook, to push harder and har

mcdonald's is a business first and foremost.erned about the loss of sales in israel and in other parts of the world, because of the move which was done in earnest and no doubt the franchisee thought they were doing the right thing. but unfortunately for the company more broadly, it has had these repercussions. yes, it is about commerce ultimately rather than politics. one of the concerns therefore for mcdonald's globally, because again this is a global brand, is how do we stem these losses in visitors and sales? and could this actually make it even worse? at this spread further, beyond just the middle east region? and the challenges, when you are a global brand like mcdonald's is, you need to balance the global and the local. this is a big situation and issue for all sorts of brands, not just mcdonald's. an earthquake has hit the us state of newjersey, rattling buildings in nearby new york city. the quake was magnitude 4.8. the tremor was centred in lebanon, newjersey. there are no reports of any major damage but social media us

what do you do with mcdonald's here?onald's the chart pattern looks like the golden arches symbol of mcdonald's. it looks like a topic i like to interpret these charge with what the market is doing. s&p 500 broke out to all-time highs but mcdonald's was not able to do that but it got stuck below peak levels with last summer. that is an indication of weakness. when the market receives in recent months, but we get weaker. mcdonald has slid back below the average with the indication of our poor trend. generally we are over all more skeptical of more lowball stocks. >> why is this not doing what walmart is doing? you would think that would be good for mcdonald's? >> walmart does not fit the general offense over defense call we have been talking about in a bull market. consumer staples, probably relatively weak. within staples some of the retail names, costco and walmart have been able to hold up what is driving that? >> let us stick with food put up next is brinker britishers up 10% in 2024 by 30% below 2021 levels. wedbush

fast—food giant mcdonald's is to buy back all its israeli restaurants because of boycotts of the chainr the company's israel—based franchisee gave away thousands of free meals to israeli soldiers. emer mccarthy has more from the newsroom. mcdonald's says it has reached an agreement with local franchisee alonyal for the return of its 225 outlets across israel. it said in a statement, "we thank alonya for building the mcdonald's business and brand in israel over the past 30 years. mcdonald's remains committed to the israeli market and to ensuring a positive employee and customer experience in the market going forward." mcdonald's was criticised after alonyal started giving away thousands of free meals to israeli soldiers back in october. this triggered boycotts across a number of muslim majority countries including malaysia and pakistan. they issued statements in distancing themselves from the golden arches for its perceived support of israel. back injanuary, mcdonald's said the conflict had meaningfully impacted performance in some overseas markets leading to it missing key sales target

investors not loving mcdonald's this week.stock closing with a sixth straight day of losses the longest losing streak since september 2022. announcing thursday that it will buy all 225 of its israel franchise stores for an undisclosed price. facing decreased revenues particularly in the middle east markets due to calls for boycotts. is that what is ailing mcdonald's? >> i think they are suffering from a couple of things. suffering also from just a wealth of success during both covid and kind of around it, growth of their digital program. there has been such a move in the stock. it's been one of the quiet winners over the last five years. we have heard in the last couple of weeks about what's going on in california around fast food, especially mcdonald's going to be hurt as much as anybody. i think the cost on the wage side in fast food ar big deal and the affordability parst and parcel, if you force wages on franchisees, they have to raise prices for fire team. it's an economic discussion and debate. but i think marginalized m

mcdonald's customers have to do with today's selloff. what i told you there were a lot of investors just selling? seems those value meals don't represent as much value as mcdonald's's ceo when plumping down $18 for male in some places, not worth it so more customers are not doing it. if this is some sign the consumer is retrenching, start worrying. it isn't a sweeping sign. one company does not define the whole market, the economy is going bust, the timing is a tad weird given the fed is kicking off a tuesday meeting where it is expected to hold cat on rates for the sixth straight time. the consumer pausing and the pace of prices jumping. we've had our fill. every burger reference i put my welcome everybody. they will both be identified their fine skills, and it might empty something -- $18 is not very economical. and 3 or 4 kids spending $70, all of that at mcdonald's and for a value deal. stuart: ashley: mcdonald's is a fast food place. does it have a menu? what do you think of that? plenty of examples, but on the low end i am wonderin

mcdonald's, starbucks, chipotle and other major chains have said publicly they intend to raise prices, but by how much? some economists anticipate about 5%. others as little as 2%. >> for a $5 mac that would be a dime. ten cents. people notice it, but i don't think they believe notice their behavior. >> reporter: people say the wage increase will accelerate trains that hurt workers, like replacing cashiers with electronic kiosks. some pizza franchise own verse already announced layoffs of in-house drivers switching to third-party delivery apps instead and there's no question the rise in labor costs will put e pressure franchise owners like carey harper whose family owns 21 mcdonald's in the los angeles area. >> we will, of course, like everyone else's will have to increase prices in some way, shape or form and what people don't understand, it doesn't matter, mcdonald's and taco bell, they're just big corporations. we are family businesses. >> reporter: some fast food customers say even if they do pay more it's a price worth paying. >> i'm okay with it because it feels like everything

so mcdonald's, pizza hut, subway and starbucks, for example. this will impact more than half a million, 500,000 federal workers here in the state of california who until today averaged $16.60 an hour, which is only slightly above the state's minimum wage. the new $20 minimum wage amounts to roughly $20.50 pay raise. the state said that restaurants that produce and sell bread are exempt, but not if the dough is premade elsewhere. restaurants inside grocery stores are exempt, as are theme parks and other locations. during this morning's press conference, we heard from a mcdonald's worker in los angeles who was appointed by governor newsom to work on the fast food council. here is what she said through an interpreter. >> workers are worth more and our families deserve better than poverty wages. even though we are the engine of a billion dollar industry, too many of us struggle to keep up with rent, the bills and the cost of living. this gives us a chance to breathe a little easy, a chance to buy a coffee or maybe take our family to the movies. >>

then the surprising new snack coming to mcdonald's.n with our expert panel and three things investors ought to be thinking about right now. on the barron's round table, ben levisohn, teresa rivas and jack howe. so, ben, the market was down this week, but you say it was misunderstood. it was down for a different reason than most people think. >> yeah. i mean, if you just looked at how the market did, the s&p 500 was down about 1%, its worst week since january 5th, and then you looked at the jobs that data that we got on friday, 303,000 jobs created, a lot more than expected, you would have thought, uh-oh. people looked at the market, looked at the data and said the fed's not going to be cutting rates, and the stock market would drop. but that's not what happened. we had a great day on friday when we got that jobs number. i think people were kind of excited. it was down more because of oil going up and that signals maybe geopolitical concerns are weighing on stocks. the other thing is stocks have just gone up a lot, and people are lookin

mcdonald's and taco bell, they're just big corporations.ly businesses. >> reporter: some fast food customers say even if they do pay more, it's a price worth paying. >> i'm okay with it because it feels like everything else is going up. it's about time wages go up. >> reporter: david noriega, nbc news, los angeles. >>> spring break season is in full swing. over the weekend, tsa reported that thursday was its tenth busiest day ever with agents screening 2.79 million passengers. back in early march, the tsa predicted 2024 travel volumes would be about 6% above the same time period last year. if you're still heading home from the easter weekend, tsa says, you guessed it, get to the airport early. >>> still to come here on "early today," the final four goes from busting brackets to breaking the banks. and what happens in vegas stays in vegas, as long as you get there first. new details on the a's shaky stadium situation, right after this.

so mcdonald's, pizza hut, kfc, subway.g to federal data, this will affect more than 500,000 fast food workers here in california who until today, averaged around $16.60 an hour. this new $20 minimum wage amount to a 20.5% pay raise. there are exceptions to the new rule. the state has said that restaurants that produce bread but not if the dough is premade elsewhere. restaurants inside a grocery store as well as theme parks and other locations. during this morning's conference, we heard from a mcdonald's worker in los angeles who was appointed by the governor. here's what she said. >> we are in this fight because workers are worth more and our families deserve better than poverty wages. even though we are the engine of a billion dollar industry, too many of us struggle to keep up with rent, our bills and the rising cost of working. >> as an owner or employer, you have to have coverage to pay them. if you cannot, you have to shut your doors. or they're going to lose hours. >> reporter: that was the owner of a round table who

so this applies to employees at fast food chains like mcdonald's here. they have to have more than 60 locations. they also have to have limited or no table service. now this will give californians fast food workers one of the highest minimum wages in the country, the state's minimum wage for all other workers is $15.50 an hour. labor unions and the fast food industry have been fighting over wages for years before lawmakers passed this law last year, saying many of the more than 500,000 fast food workers in the state they aren't teens earning extra spending money. they're adults. depending on that money to support their families, customers stopping at mcdonald's for breakfast this morning say they support this increase. >> i think that's great news. i think that's a long time coming. you know, it's hard hard to live out here with the wages that we currently have. so, you know, i think it's great for them. it's great. >> you know all around i think it's about time that like people start getting paid more, obviously mcdonald's is always profiting, but its w
