2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Above 2.5% — resolved “No” on 4 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if McDonald's reports global comparable sales growth above 2.5% for the third quarter of 2026. It resolves to No if that specific metric is 2.5% or lower. Readers often mistake the linked news headline about current beef prices for the actual resolution data, but only the official Q3 2026 financial report counts.
  • Above 3% — the market puts it at 38%, closing 27 Apr 2027. The market resolves to Yes if McDonald's reports global comparable sales growth above 3.0% for fiscal 2026. It resolves to No if that growth is 3.0% or lower. Readers often mistake the linked news story about beef prices for the official data source, but only McDonald's reported fiscal results count.
