Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Yum China stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Yum China opened a net 336 new restaurants in Q2 2025 and plans to open 1,600–1,800 new stores this year, using its extensive logistics network to enter more than 2,200 underserved cities and capture rising demand from China’s middle class (Reuters)
The company is testing Q-Smart, an AI-powered, hands-free assistant at KFC restaurants to automate tasks such as employee scheduling and inventory management, positioning Yum China for efficiency gains and lower labor costs (Reuters)
Changing consumer preferences among millennials and Gen Z for technology-driven, loyalty-based experiences, along with the rapid rise of China’s 'silver economy', provide positive momentum for Yum China’s digitally integrated brands (Reuters)
Yum China's same-store sales growth was just 1% in Q2 2025, showing consumer spending is still weak and could deteriorate further if macroeconomic challenges persist (Reuters)
China's overall retail sector is slowing, with both retail and industrial output declining as GDP growth slows to 5.2% in Q2 2025, creating obstacles for restaurant chains like Yum China (Reuters)
Yum China's aggressive plan to open as many as 1,800 net new stores in 2025 risks overextending in smaller cities and straining operational resources, potentially squeezing profit margins if the new stores do not perform (Reuters)
