McDonald's India removed a series of posts in which an alleged intern claimed unpaid wages and promoted a meme coin, naming a manager and sharing crypto wallet addresses before the thread was pulled. The company has not confirmed a breach or verified the claims and responded on X with a meme. Despite the social-media episode and a one-year low in the share price, analysts' average 12-month target for McDonald's stands about 24% above the recent close. » More on finance.yahoo.com
