McDonald's stock hit a new 52-week low in late August 2026, sliding to $260.95 on the New York Stock Exchange before recovering slightly to around $261.52.
The drop underscores pressure on value-focused consumers, which is weighing on the fast-food giant despite its global scale and brand strength.
As of August 28, 2026, McDonald's market value stood at around $180 billion, down from prior highs due to a material drawdown in the stock price.
The company's shares have underperformed compared to the broader S&P 500 constituents, with some valuation screens indicating that the stock is trading at a discounted level.
According to GF Value metric, McDonald's intrinsic value estimate stands at $324.54 per share, implying that the stock is trading 19.9% below its fair value.
