Nervous markets await Nvidia

BUY

a dividend aristocrat

They raised their dividend by 10.7%. They had a disappointing Q4, but raised their full-year forecast, a strong one. International headwinds should improve this year.

PARTIAL BUY

It reports Wednesday. The franchise market has been very good to KFC and Taco Bell, but not Pizza Hut. Shares are firing hot with two hot brands, but suppose they add a third?

BUY

They report Wednesday. He expects an upside surprise.

BUY

It reports Wednesday. Listen for comments about sticker prices being too high. Overall, he feels YUM will do well because of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.

BUY

They plan to double locations from 54,000 globally over time. They're doing really well. Owns KFC and other fast-food chains.

COMMENT

They report Wednesday. Chipotle just reported a good quarter and the market didn't care--warning. Chipotle owns all its stores, but Yum is heavily franchised. Will Yum have the same success finding workers as Chipotle?

BUY

They delivered this morning a huge EPS beat, beat revenues and 9% same-store sales growth, but the stock hardly budged. One reason was that management didn't issue guidance, because the environment is unpredictable, but also the stock has recently run up. Yum includes chains KFC and Pizza Hut.

COMMENT

Has held it for many years. Recently sold it to make room for one of her top picks. A well-regarded quick serve company. The Chinese spinout has done better than the Yum! Brands that trades in New York. Saw better opportunities elsewhere.

BUY

That the ongoing legalization in cannabis in the U.S. will push munchies stocks like YUM. Likes it very much. Better if they fix their Pizza Hut issues. Great to own.

DON'T BUY

It's a buy under $100, so don't buy it now at $105. Restaurants are going down during lockdowns this winter.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 12/19, Up 6%) Big presence in China, and there's lots of potential there. Also in India and European markets, and you want this exposure to markets not fully developed. Recently bought a new brand, which they can grow and franchise out.

BUY

His top choice in the restaurant space as we head towards a vaccine-led recovery. KFC is doing well. KFC also fine. If they can improve their pizza business, the stock will soar.

HOLD

She still owns YUM. Their brand are Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC. In China, they have a large presence -- it represents about 30% of their revenues. Since most locations focused on drive-thru they are doing okay. There is still good growth opportunities overseas and they are looking into India to expand.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Two issues right now. Pizza Hut turnaround, and coronavirus. Too early to say how coronavirus will impact it. One positive is they get franchise fees. Likes the long-term profile because of presence in China and other EM. Would wait for the $100 range for new money.

COMMENT

Now is a good entry point. They own KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, which are well-represented in China and emerging markets. A third of KFC's revenues come from China. Taco Bell is strong in the US, and will expand internationally. Pizza Hut is the laggard in America where pizza is competitive; are closing some PH locations. They just bought Habit Restaurants, a small California burger chain, which is another branch that YUM can grow. Prefers this to QSR.
