Higher prices and chicken sandwiches are helping boost McDonald's sales. But earnings disappointed Wall Street Thursday morning.
Last year, sales at US stores open at least 13 months jumped 13.8%, the largest annual increase since McDonald's started reporting comparable sales in 1993, the company said Thursday.
In the fourth quarter, US sales jumped 7.5%, thanks in part to menu price increases, powerful digital sales and menu items like the crispy chicken sandwich and the imited-time McRib, which became available for purchase on November 1. Last year, McDonald's made McRib NFTs to mark the product's 40th anniversary.
