McDonald's (MCD) first-quarter earnings report showcased a combo meal of international headwinds, including global sales growth slowing behind figures from this time last year and boycotts related to the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. Additionally, inflation and rising menu prices are taking a toll on lower-income consumers. On the fast-food chain's earnings call, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski stated that "consumers continue to be even more discriminating with every dollar that they spend as they face elevated prices in their day-to-day spending." Placer.ai Head of Analytical Research R.J. Hottovy sits down with Catalysts to discuss whether McDonald's item prices are beginning to price out certain consumer demographics. Placer.ai data found McDonald's to maintain higher monthly foot traffic growth over the past year than its competition. "Right now consumers are really focused on value, and not just discounts. I think that low price point is something that they're certainly focused in on," Hottovy says. "We've seen groups that really market around a low price point, generally a higher visitation trade. And so I think that's what McDonald's may be pivoting to in the future. There's a lot of discussion about future value plans in the US and abroad in the earnings call today.

PayPal executives on Tuesday emphasized plans to reignite growth in branded checkout products that have struggled in recent years as big tech expanded market share, after the payments firm raised its forecast for full-year adjusted profit. The company's stock had struggled last year on fears that the entry of Apple and Alphabet's Google in digital payments could take away a big chunk of PayPal's mainstay business. PayPal's unbranded businesses have grown, but weakness in its branded business such as Venmo has been central to investor anxieties.
Shares of PayPal (PYPL) are rising Tuesday, buoyed by the company's first quarter performance, which saw payment volume surge 14%. The digital payment giant exceeded analysts' revenue expectations, posting a top-line figure of $7.7 billion, beating the Street's estimate of $7.51 billion.
