McDonald's is planning a revamp of its value strategy to revive US sales, according to Bloomberg News. This follows Q2 results where US comparable sales grew just 0.8%, missing estimates and slowing sharply from a year ago. The company's stock is trading near its 52-week low, reflecting investor concern over the sales slowdown. A revamped value strategy could address the self-inflicted issues management identified, but details are not yet disclosed. The move signals a direct response to the weak US performance and could be a key driver for a turnaround.
