McDonald’s MCD 4.80% < U.S. store sales and earnings fell as the burger chain
dealt with the fallout of a n E. coli outbreak hitting its domestic business last
year.
The company said its U.S. same -store sales declined 1.4% in the three months
ended Dec. 31, driven in part by customers spending less money per visit. A
slowdown in the pace of price increases across restaurants also contributed.
The chain's fourth-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings per share trailed
analysts' expectations. Some investors had feared steeper declines, and were
upbeat about the company's recovery in many international markets.
