Monday, March 11, 6:06 PM
After-hours top gainers, as of 5:30 p.m.: HEK +10%. IRBT +10%. PAY +8%. YUM +6%. HTZ +6%.
After-hours top losers: PWRD -9%. DMND -6%. GOV -5%. [PCRX -5%. SLCA -3%. Comment! [On the Move] - Monday, March 11, 4:30 PM Yum Brands (YUM) reports same-store sales in China -20% in Q1 vs. its earlier estimate of 25%. February same-store sales registered a sequential gain of about 2%. For the full quarter thus far, the impact of the Chinese New Year is judged as neutral. Shares +7.5% AH. 4 Comments [Consumer, On the Move, Breaking News]
- Monday, March 11, 8:19 AM The number of negative comments about Yum Brands (YUM) on blogging sites in China dropped from a monthly peak of 3M, but still totaled just over a million during a recent tracking period. The company reports February same-store sales in China later today which will give investors a better idea on the lingering effect of the chicken contamination scare. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, March 8, 11:36 AM What's the right mix for U.S. fast-food companies in China? Though forecasts for the QSR market in the nation range as high as spectacular 50% growth by 2015, some analysts remain wary the novelty could wear off and burn those expanding too fast. China plans: 1) McDonald's (MCD +1.4%) wants 2K locations by the end of 2013 which will still stand far below the 5.2K outlets Yum Brands (YUM +1.2%) operates. 2) Starbucks (SBUX +0.9%) is easing into China with a plan for 1.5K stores by 2015 3) Privately-owned Subway has 374 locations with more on tap. 4) Burger King (BKW +0.1%) (<100 locations) and Wendy's (WEN -0.2%) are currently non-factors but keep talking up China. 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Friday, March 8, 8:50 AM What to make of Yum Brands (YUM)? After McDonald's showed some promise in Asia for February sales, retail analysts will be anxious to see if Yum Brands is able to stem the bleeding in China after the chicken contamination issue helped to wallop sales. A couple of retail analysts think Yum's trends in Asia look promising, which could be critical to help determine if the early success of KFC and Taco Bell in the nation was due to novelty or can sustain. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 6, 10:29 AM OTG Global is out with positive comments on sales trends for Yum Brands (YUM +1.6%) in China. The firm thinks China KFC sales are stabilizing and could meet or exceed the lowered expectations that dropped the floor out from under shares. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, March 1, 9:58 AM The meat scandal in Europe touches Yum Brands (YUM -0.5%) after the company is forced to disclose to the Food Standards Agency in the U.K. that it found supplier samples for Taco Bell which tested positive for horsemeat. The timing isn't great after the company already saw its financial results rocked by a chicken contamination issue in China. Execs say Yum Brands has discontinued buying from the supplier in question. 4 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Thursday, February 28, 7:05 AM Restaurant analysts thinks the next frontier for the industry will be Africa as the Middle East and BRIC nations reach saturation points. Yum Brands' (YUM) is the largest chain in the region by a wide margin with over 900 KFC units, while other restaurant companies are considering expansion opportunities. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, February 25, 6:58 AM Yum Brands (YUM) says it will make changes to its supply chain in China as it tries to reel back consumer confidence following a scare with chicken products. Quality control will be increased and small individual farmers will be cut out of the chicken loop. The issue is critical to the company with China now accounting for 44% of its total sales. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, February 22, 8:50 AM The restaurant sector is on watch after a pre-earnings warning from Darden Restaurants (DRI) and a harsh downgrade on Wendy's (WEN) sets a negative tone. The picture being painted for 2013 is starting to get pretty consistent - margin pain and soft traffic trends. Other things to watch in 2013 for the sector: 1) The impact of higher payroll taxes. 2) The coming costs of the Affordable Care Act. 3) The push to raise the minimum wage. 4) Which chains can succeed in China and India? 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 13, 10:14 AM Margin pain on the horizon: Restaurants could get squeezed this year from a combination of higher commodity costs and frugal consumers, according to AlixPartners. Though traffic is forecast to rise 3%, the average ticket is expected to decline 4.7% with coupons, promotions, and discounts gaining favor. Chains that are expected to ride out the expected tough environment are those that can deliver healthy food fast. Chipotle (CMG -1.8%), privately-held Subway, and Panera (PNRA -1.5%) fit the bill. 6 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, February 12, 10:45 AM A food testing indicator for consumers will hit China soon to help them identify contaminated food. Yum Brands (YUM -0.5%) could see a minor boost from the development if its KFC brand can recover from the recent stumbles in the nation over the issue. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Monday, February 11, 10:00 AM Will Yum Brands (YUM -0.4%) consider making a play for Wendy's (WEN +3.4%)? David Englander raises the idea as he notes how the positive changes at Wendy's makes the company quite attractive to Yum Brands which has a gaping hole in its restaurant brand portfolio without a burger business of its own. An acquisition would also lower the company's dependence on China - a sticking point to some investors at the moment. 2 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]

Monday, February 4, 5:47 PM
After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: JNY +5%. EDMC +5%. BRKS +5%. MM +5%. GFF +4%.
After-hours top losers: PC -10%. IDIX -7%. RTEC -6%. YUM -6%. BIDU -5%. Comment! [On the Move] - Monday, February 4, 5:25 PM More on Yum Brands (YUM) Q4 earnings: "Adverse publicity on poultry supply continues to significantly impact China KFC sales." Indeed. Same-store sales in China for January and February off about 25% Y/Y. Shares -6.2% AH. (PR) 13 Comments [Consumer, On the Move, Earnings]
- Monday, February 4, 4:51 PM Yum Brands (YUM): Q4 EPS of $0.83 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $4.12B beats by $0.B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
