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.

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.
