Because of the boycott, McDonald's fails to achieve targeted sales. Due to the effects of the Gaza War and other factors, McDonald’s financial results fell below expectations.
The company announced today, Monday, that it had not achieved its targeted sales for the first time in nearly 4 years during the past quarter. McDonald's global store sales rose 3.4% in the fourth quarter, contrary to estimates that expected a 4.9% increase. The quarter's results represent the slowest sales growth in nearly 3 years.
