McDonald's Corporation held its 2026 annual meeting on May 20th. Results of the voting for officers and directors have been published.
McDonald's has 710 million shares outstanding
The typical board member received just under 500 million votes "For" serving until the 2027 board meeting.
There are always votes "against" certain director candidates. Aside from the CEO/Chairman, the average director received 11 million "Against" votes.
The CEO/Chairman received nearly 39 million votes "Against".
Some have speculated that this highly negative vote was a complaint related to the same person serving as CEO and Chairman. Or, it could just be a reaction to the recent performance of McDonald's shares.
Or it could be a reaction to the CEO's oddball behavior on social media and a fear that the CEO is not a serious or stable person.
