Q2 FY2026 EarningsQ2 FY2026 results showed a slight miss on revenue ($7.10B vs. $7.13B expected) but a marginal beat on Diluted EPS ($3.32 vs. $3.31 Consensus Mean). Comparable sales growth of 1.3% YoY was underpinned by the International Developmental Licensed segment (+1.9%) and International Operated Markets (+1.5%), while the U.S. segment trailed at 0.8%. Operating income of $3.34B was largely in-line with the $3.39B consensus (excluding restructuring charges), supported by strong franchised margins (+4% YoY), which offset ongoing inflationary pressures in Company-owned operations.
