McDonald's Expands Value Offerings with McValue Program and New Promotions

Key Highlights:

• McDonald's launches its "McValue" program, featuring an extended $5 Meal Deal and a "buy one, add one for $1" promotion.
• Partnerships with brands like YouTube TV and Tinder offer added customer perks.
• Inflation concerns have led McDonald's to focus on value to attract budget-conscious consumers.

McDonald's (MCD) unveiled its "McValue" program on Tuesday, continuing its commitment to value-focused offerings. The $5 Meal Deal, which includes a small fry, drink, four-piece chicken McNuggets, and a choice of two sandwiches, will now run through summer 2025.

The new "buy one, add one for $1" deal allows customers to purchase items like the sausage McMuffin, double cheeseburger, or McChicken and add another for just $1.

Additionally, McDonald's is rolling out a marketing campaign featuring John Cena and promotional partnerships worth over $3 million. Offers include perks like free YouTube TV subscriptions and American Airlines Wi-Fi.

Despite inflation-driven declines in spending, the $5 Meal Deal has performed well, leading to its continued extension.

McDonald’s stock remained steady on Tuesday, trading near $293.

In related news, Taco Bell (YUM) introduced "Cravings Boxes" at $5, $7, and $9, running through June, highlighting the growing trend of value promotions in fast food.
