About Yum!
Yum Brands is a US-based restaurant operator featuring a portfolio of four brands: KFC (31,981 global units at year-end 2024), Pizza Hut (20,225 units), Taco Bell (8,757 units), and Habit Burger & Grill (nearly 400 units). With more than $65 billion in 2024 systemwide sales, the firm is the second-largest restaurant company in the world behind McDonald's ($131 billion). Yum is 98% franchised, with the largest franchisee, Yum China, spun out in 2016, after which Yum China agreed to pay 3% royalties to Yum Brands in perpetuity. Yum is the newest evolution of Tricon, formerly a division of PepsiCo, and generates the bulk of its revenue from franchise royalties and marketing contributions.

What the Analysts think about Yum!
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Yum! stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Yum Brands delivered better-than-expected first-quarter comparable-sales growth of 3%, outpacing the 2.76% consensus, driven by a 3.7% rise in U.S. Taco Bell visits and a 3% increase in KFC international sales, reinforcing its long-term profit growth target of 8% (Reuters).
Yum China expanded aggressively in Q2 with 336 net new store openings, fueling 4% sales growth and broadening Yum Brands’ royalty base as the Chinese middle class gains access to its brands (Reuters).
The appointment of Ranjith Roy as CFO brings seasoned financial leadership from Goldman Sachs and e-commerce expertise to Yum Brands, strengthening its governance and strategic execution amid an evolving consumer landscape (Reuters).
Yum Brands missed analysts' second-quarter estimates as rising ingredient costs and subdued consumer demand weighed on its core brands, with global same-store sales up just 2% versus a 2.37% forecast and adjusted EPS of $1.44 falling short of $1.46 expectations (Reuters).
Slowdown in India's fast-food market has left Yum Brands' franchise partners Devyani and Sapphire facing same-store sales declines of up to 13%, potentially constraining future royalty revenue from a key emerging market (Reuters).
Yum China’s same-store sales growth of only 1% in the latest quarter—even amid 336 net new store openings—highlights tightening consumer spending and raises concerns over the sustainability of China-derived royalty streams for Yum Brands (Reuters).
