- Thursday, December 6, 2012, 8:42 AM The Yum Brands (YUM) annual investor meeting kicks off in minutes with a sharper focus on the comments of executives than in years past. A sluggish sales performance from McDonald's as of late and a biting profit warning from Darden Restaurants has the entire sector rather edgy. Will Yum Brands swim against the current? (webcast) Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 9:09 AM The restaurant sector is on watch after a profit warning from Darden Restaurants points to weakness, not in Europe or China, but at home in the U.S. While increased promotional activity in the sector is behind part of the slip from Darden, the bigger question is why are sales so weak for big players if consumer confidence is supposedly bouncing back? 12 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, November 30, 2012, 11:34 AM Hedgeye has something to say about the scare Yum Brands (YUM -9.7%) threw into the market over its comps in China. The firm notes previous sequential decelerations in China GDP Growth and Yum's sales in the nation haven't slammed the firm's earnings growth. The take: After being tagged a "China stock" a bit too vociferously by analysts, YUM is actually attractive at today's oversold level. 4 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, November 30, 2012, 7:43 AM More reaction to Yum Brands (YUM): The announcement that sales could slip in China for the first time since Q4 of 2009 is "very surprising" to analysts expecting the growth train to roar on. Raymond James doesn't mince words, saying the drop off in China traffic creates "significant visibility issues" for profits. Shares of YUM are stumbling, -9.7% premarket to $67.28. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, November 30, 2012, 7:33 AM Yum Brands (YUM) starts to fall out of favor with analysts after the company lowered its profit expectations for 2013. Susquehanna downgrades the restaurant operator to Neutral from Positive, while Deutsche Bank clipped its price target to $66 and lowered EPS estimates. YUM -9.5% premarket. Comment!

Thursday, November 29, 2012, 5:46 PM
After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: CBK +17.1%. FIVE +8.6%. SKUL +6.8%. ULTA +5.2%. RGC +3.9%.
After-hours top losers: ZNGA -10.7%. YUM -7.3%. ZUMZ -6.9%. AVGO -3.1%. GRPN -3.0%. 5 Comments [On the Move] - Thursday, November 29, 2012, 4:48 PM Reaffirming its FY2012 EPS growth forecast of 13%, or $3.24/share, Yum Brands (YUM) sees softer business in China in Q4 leading to negative (-4%) same-store sales growth. Shares -4% AH. (PR) 2 Comments [Consumer, Breaking News, On the Move]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 10:03 AM Efforts to unionize fast-food workers ramp up this week with organized protests in the works at McDonald's (MCD -0.3%), Taco Bell (YUM +1%), and Wendy's (WEN -0.4%). Though the activity is catching some headlines, unionization efforts seem more likely to fizzle than generate higher costs for restaurant operators. If the Black Friday protests at Wal-Mart are any indication, it may be business as normal despite all the sound and fury. 9 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, November 16, 2012, 3:20 PM Yum Brands, Inc. (YUM) declares $0.34/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 1.87%. For shareholders of record Jan 11. Payable Feb. 1. Ex-div Jan 9. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Friday, November 16, 2012, 12:51 PM Yum Brands (YUM +0.9%) approves a new share repurchase plan that will allow the company to buy back $1B worth of stock up until May 31, 2014. The company says it has repurchased $815M YTD at an average price of $66. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, November 1, 2012, 2:59 PM BofA's 14 stocks set to surge after Sandy: road and rail firms SWFT, KNX, JBHT, UNP and KSU on demand to transport raw materials; lumber stocks WY and LPX; YUM since restaurants "tend to open faster than consumers regain power"; energy firms VLO and HES unaffected by Sandy; NUE on steel demand; retailers HD and LOW; smart grid software maker ITRI. 1 Comment [Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 1:51 PM Einhorn vs. Chipotle, Round 2: Greenlight Capital's bearish stance on Chipotle (CMG +1.2%) doesn't budge an inch with the firm continuing to hold on to its view that the new menu from Taco Bell (YUM +0.2%) will be a major drag on the restaurant chain's sales. A survey by the hedge fund found a high percentage of Chiptole customers sampled the Cantina Bell menu after its launch, with 50% rating it equal or better fare. (Greenlight Capital letter .pdf) 6 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, October 19, 2012, 8:51 AM Yum Brands (YUM +1%) falls 1.5% in premarket trading after McDonald's issues its relatively weak Q3 report and early warning on Q4. On the topic of rivals in the space, the company was referred to indirectly yesterday during Chipotle's CC (transcript) when execs maintained their company wasn't losing significant transactions to someone else because its model isn't easy to copy. Look for Q4 to help resolve the Chipotle vs. Taco Bell debate with Cantina Bell putting in a full quarter worth of results. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, October 18, 2012, 4:56 PM The other half of the Einhorn Chipotle thesis, Yum Brands (YUM), snoozes the news that Chipotle expects subdued growth for next year, trading flat AH. Though Einhorn finds YUM pricey and says he isn't long, traders are starting to wonder if maybe a surge in Taco Bell sales won't feed the company's bottom line after all. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, October 11, 2012, 8:06 AM Quick service restaurants continue to play catch-up with leaders Chipotle (CMG) and Panera Bread (PNRA) as they try to subtly shift from "fast food" to "fast casual" and steal customers from sit-down alternatives. After McDonald's (MCD) set the bar high with premium coffee, smoothies, and reworked restaurants with HD TVs - nearly every chain has set in motion a modernization plan of its own. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, October 10, 2012, 10:08 AM Yum Brands (YUM +7.4%) knocks out a gain after reporting solid numbers for Q3 including steady sales in China. Looking ahead, the company plans to open over 1700 new units this year and says the pace of expansion in China is still on track. A charge of $25M-$75M is expected in Q4 as more employees take an early payout of pension benefits. (conference call, earnings, sales breakdown) Comment! [Consumer]
