McDonald's (MCD) said its “Summer of Value” is extending into fall.
The golden arches are keeping in place the popular $5 value meal promotion—it comes with a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, drink, french fries and a 10-piece McNuggets—into December.
The offering was expected to run for just four weeks following its June 25 launch, but many locations kept it going into August. A memo from Chief Marketing Officer Tariq Hassan and National Field President Myra Doria in July said the promotion “is meeting the objective of driving guests back to our restaurants," according to .
McDonald’s second-quarter results, reported in July, missed expectations, but the company said it has seen sales growth among lower-income consumers during the value meal's cycle. Other food chains have launched similar deals, seeking to get inflation-weary diners in the door with options emphasizing value.
Shares of McDonalds were little changed Thursday. They're up about 15% since the $5 meal promotion launched, and down slightly for the year.

He added Having served in this capacity for a period of 1 year and 7 months. wish to respectfully tender my resignation.
Your Excellency, as you may recall, I was offered an appointment to serve as your Special Assistant. Artist, on 6th January 2023. I accepted the offer because I saw it as a call to service and an opportunity to showcase my talents. Regrettably. I have not been able to achieve any of these things. Aside from the fact that I don’t have a specific schedule of duty, circumstances have not availed me the opportunity to perform my responsibilities maximally.
Therefore, since my appointment is based on public trust. I cannot continue to break that trust by taking a salary for doing nothing.
As an Islamic cleric, it is against my beliefs, and I haven’t been at peace with myself. So. I want my salary to be stopped immediately.
I am grateful for the confidence reposed in me, and I hope that one day. I will be abie to fully utilize my talents for the development of our state.

Investors will be focused on whether Adobe (ADBE) can keep its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven momentum when the software maker reports after the bell; August wholesale prices are due; SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission completes first commercial spacewalk; Norfolk Southern (NSC) fires Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Alan Shaw over a relationship with its legal chief; and China weakness sent global oil demand growth in the first half of the year to its lowest since the pandemic, the IEA says. U.S. stock futures are edging higher after major indexes surged Wednesday on a rally by Nvidia (NVDA). Here's what investors need to know today.
Adobe (ADBE) is expected by analysts to post rising third-quarter revenue and earnings from the year-ago period when it reports results after the bell, partly fueled by demand for artificial intelligence (AI). Analysts are projecting quarterly revenue of $5.37 billion, up 10% year-over-year, and profit of $1.57 billion, up 12%, according to estimates compiled by Visible Alpha. The company could also provide updates on its AI integration and monetization efforts.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) for August is due at 8:30 a.m. ET, likely reinforcing investor expectations of an interest-rate cut by the Federal Reserve at its meeting next week. Sticky rents, even as overall consumer inflation cooled in August, has dampened expectations of an aggressive cut by the Fed. Economists surveyed by and expect wholesale prices to have grown monthly by 0.2% in August, up from 0.1% in July, while "core" PPI—which excludes volatile food and energy prices—is also seen having grown by 0.2%, down from 0.3% last month.
The astronauts on board the Polaris Dawn flight from SpaceX that launched earlier this week spent time outside of their spacecraft Thursday morning, the first commercial spacewalk. The four-person crew is in the midst of a five-day orbit after launching Tuesday morning, and the company has said the group is orbiting higher above the Earth than any space exploration missions since the Apollo missions decades ago.
Norfolk Southern (NSC) fired CEO Alan Shaw over a relationship with the railroad freight firm's top legal officer. The company had been investigating allegations of misconduct against Shaw, and said Wednesday he had been fired because it found he broke company policies "by engaging in a consensual relationship" with Chief Legal Officer Nabanita Nag, who also has been let go. Shaw, who was terminated "for cause, effective immediately," will be succeeded by Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Mark George.
Global oil demand in the first half of the year grew at the slowest level since 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, according to the latest monthly report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The Paris-based organization attributed the slump to a "rapidly slowing China" and the country's transition to electric vehicles (EVs), adding that demand outside China remains "tepid at best." Crude oil futures have been hit recently as OPEC—a dominant coalition of oil-producing nations—cut back on its demand outlook and growth projections, and the IEA warned that OPEC and its allies "may be staring at a substantial surplus."
