Big changes are happening in the fast-food world! President Trump's tariffs (taxes on imported goods) are making things tough for many restaurants. Some are raising prices, while others are trying to keep costs low.
- McDonald's is doing well because of its affordable menu.
- KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell (Yum Brands) are also doing pretty well.
- But some fancier fast-food places, like Chipotle and Shake Shack, are not doing as well.
| Restaurant | Stock Change (Recent) |
|---|---|
| McDonald's | Up 5% |
| Yum Brands | Up 22% (year-to-date) |
| Chipotle | Down 9% |
| Shake Shack | Down 15% |
The tariffs are making it hard for restaurants to plan for the future because they don't know how much things will cost.
