McDonald's stock has seen a multi-month sell-off, returning to 2021 levels, despite a recent earnings beat and only slightly missed revenue. Management attributed weaker U.S. sales growth to execution issues and delayed a key expansion target, but analysts maintain a "Moderate Buy" rating due to the company's strong brand, fixable problems, and attractive valuation with a reliable dividend. This suggests the recent decline might present a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
