McDonald's U.S. sales show improvement

McDonald's U.S. sales see a recovery after a weak third quarter. The company's stock went up as earnings met or surpassed forecasts and U.S. restaurants showed improvement. Despite a value push, U.S. sales declined for the first time in six quarters. McDonald's plans to deploy new value bundles next year following a decline in U.S. traffic amid inflation. A new burger from McDonald's is attracting interest with rapper John Park.
