Arcos Dorados sets targets for 550+ restaurants by 2030
Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ARCO) held its 2026 Investor Day, where management outlined a long-term growth strategy and financial framework covering the period from 2027 through 2030.
The company, which operates more than 2,500 McDonald's restaurants across 21 Latin American and Caribbean countries, said it aims to achieve mid- to high-single digit annual growth in total revenue and high-single to low-double digit annual growth in Adjusted EBITDA over the long term.
From 2027 through 2030, Arcos Dorados plans to open 550 to 600 new restaurants and invest between $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion through its capital expenditure program.

Executive Chairman Woods Staton, Chief Executive Officer Luis Raganato, and other senior management presented the strategy. "The scale and capabilities we have built provide a strong foundation for the next phase of profitable growth," Staton said.
The company noted that it has not provided a reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA growth targets to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, citing the difficulty of forecasting certain items required for such a reconciliation.
