McDonald's says a key sales figure rose 2.6% in May, with the world's biggest hamburger chain attributing the bump to its focus on value and new menu options.
The Illinois-based company noted that the increase in global sales at restaurants open at least 13 months came despite ongoing economic uncertainty.
In the US, the figure rose 2.4%. It rose 2% in Europe and edged up 0.9% in the region encompassing Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
After years of outperforming rivals, McDonald's Corp. Had been struggling to boost sales as it faces changing eating habits and weak growth in the restaurant industry.
