Goldman Sachs upgraded its rating to Buy with a target of $345, and Truist Securities keeps a Buy rating with a target of $356. Keybanc also maintains an Overweight rating with a target of $325 [4].
Options activity for McDonald's has shown a mix of bullish and bearish sentiments, with significant investors aiming for price targets between $270.0 and $310.0 [3]. The trading volume for McDonald's stands at 2,128,330, with the stock down by -0.4% as of July 2, 2025, and an RSI indicator suggesting the stock may be approaching overbought territory [4].
McDonald's is expected to release its earnings announcement in 16 days, which could provide further insights into the company's financial performance and influence its stock price.
