McDonald's profit rises 10.9 percent


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp reported a higher quarterly profit on Thursday as the world's largest restaurant company appeared to put more distance between itself and many smaller U.S. restaurant chains.

    First-quarter net income rose 10.9 percent to $1.21 billion, or $1.15 per share, from $1.09 billion, or $1 per share, a year earlier.
