McDonald’s Corp., the world’s largest restaurant chain, said sales at stores open at least 13 months fell less than analysts estimated in February as low prices kept consumers coming to restaurants amid a weak economy.
Global same-store sales fell 1.5 percent, the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company said today in a statement. Analysts projected a 1.6 percent drop, the average of 13 estimates compiled by Consensus Metrix.
