McDonald's Corp (NYSE: MCD), the fast-food giant, has had a rough 2026. The stock currently trades just above $230, is down more than 30% since March and is at its lowest level in nearly four years. Its Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum gauge that reads oversold below 30, has fallen to 23, and the company is only three weeks out from its next earnings report.
If there’s one stock out there, in other words, that could do with some positive headlines, it’s the home of the Big Mac. Unfortunately for McDonald’s investors, however, the company appears to have shot itself in the foot during a presentation last week.
