Description: YUM Yum! Brands December 04, 2025
Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE:YUM) develops, operates, and franchises quick-service restaurants worldwide through four primary divisions-KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and Habit Burger & Grill-covering chicken, char-grilled burgers, Mexican-style fare, and pizza. The company, originally incorporated in 1997 as TRICON Global Restaurants, rebranded to Yum! Brands in 2002 and is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky.
Key operational metrics as of the latest quarter include a 3.2% same-store sales growth in the U.S. system-wide segment and a 68% franchisee-owned restaurant mix, which cushions capital intensity. The business is sensitive to commodity prices (notably chicken and beef) and labor cost inflation, while emerging-market expansion-particularly in China and India-remains a primary growth driver, accounting for roughly 30% of total restaurant count.
