McDonald's Shares Slump 30% as Big Mac Prices Fuel Backlash
Original: McDonald’s Sell-Off Hits 30% as Big Mac Inflation Spurs Pushback
McDonald's stock has fallen roughly 30% as customers push back against sharp price increases on menu items like the Big Mac. The fast-food giant is facing criticism that its prices have risen well beyond general inflation, turning affordable staples into luxury purchases for many consumers. The sell-off has drawn attention across financial outlets and reignited debate over fast-food pricing and consumer spending pressure.
Why now: A steep share decline combined with consumer anger over fast-food prices makes the story relevant to both investors and everyday customers.
