YUM is a leader in multibranding, offering combinations of its KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and Habit Burger & Grill brands at single locations. It has spun off its China business into a separately traded company. With a market cap of about $41.9 billion, YUM is generally classified as a large-cap growth stock.
RatingPrice TargetStocks are up at midday, with the Nasdaq rallying on strong tech earnings.
Stocks are up at midday, with the Nasdaq rallying on strong tech earnings. Weekly jobless claims reported this morning showed a sharp increase. The number reported for the week was 241,000, which compares to readings closer to 200,000 for most of the year and the four-week moving average of 226,000. We're not worried yet about the economy, despite yesterday's report that GDP outright declined in 1Q, but these trends are beginning to head in a negative direction. Tomorrow's nonfarm payrolls report will indeed be a critical indicator.
Yum Brands Earnings: Expectations Met on Mixed Divisional Results; Shares Fairly Valued
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), ahead of Restaurant Brands International ($44 billion) and Starbucks ($30 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.
