McDonald’s Stock Surges 1.27% on DoorDash Expansion Ranks 47th in $1.45 Billion Volume Spike

On August 14, 2025, McDonald’s (MCD) traded at $1.27 higher, with a daily volume of $1.45 billion, marking a 58.52% surge from the previous day’s volume and ranking 47th in market activity. The stock’s performance followed a strategic expansion of its global delivery partnership with DoorDash.

McDonald’s and DoorDash launched a new online ordering platform via McDonalds.com, enabling customers to place McDelivery orders without requiring an app, account, or login. The initiative, operational across 29 countries, aims to streamline the checkout process with flexible payment options and faster fulfillment by DoorDash’s delivery network. This integration is positioned to enhance customer accessibility and align with growing demand for digital convenience in fast food services.

Tim Snyder, McDonald’s USA Head of Delivery, emphasized the channel’s potential to extend reach by leveraging the 13.5 million monthly visitors to McDonalds.com. The collaboration also deepens DoorDash’s role in key markets such as Canada, Germany, and Japan, with Shanna Prevé of DoorDash highlighting the partnership’s focus on innovation and operational efficiency. The move reflects McDonald’s ongoing commitment to digital transformation and customer-centric service models.
