From Bloomberg News
McDonald’s Corp. shares had their biggest gain in nine months after second-quarter profit beat analysts’ estimates, spurred by new menu items and longer hours in the United States.
Net income fell to about 42 cents a share from 47 cents a year earlier, McDonald’s said. But sales at locations open more than a year had their biggest gains since March, rising 3.8% in June and 2.8% in the quarter.
Shares of McDonald’s rose $1.39 to $30.99.
