McDonald s (MCD) is set to report its second quarter earnings before the opening bell on Wednesday, with analysts predicting a continuation of COVID-19 era takeout trends that helped make the fast food chain an unlikely beneficiary of the pandemic.
Although McDonald s smashed Q1 expectations on strong drive-through and digital sales, Wall Street will be eager to see whether the current U.S. labor shortage may pose a threat to its ability to meet demand.
Here’s what Wall Street is expecting, as compiled by Bloomberg:
Revenue: $5.57 billion estimated
Same-store sales: 38.73% estimated
For most of last year, the pandemic wreaked havoc on the food and restaurant space as diners remained largely indoors.

Currently, the stock is hovering near record highs.
