Yum! Brands, symbol YUM-N, has shown a notable uptick of 12% in its stock price over the past six months, suggesting a positive market reception. Experts recommend capitalizing on any price dips as a strategic investment move, largely due to the company's impending spin-off of Pizza Hut. This divestiture is expected to enhance Yum! Brands' financial performance significantly, leading to impressive future growth. With these factors in play, the overall sentiment among analysts remains bullish, highlighting Yum! Brands as an attractive option for investors looking to benefit from its strategic maneuvers and market potential.

Very strong quarter and stock pulled back recently. A name where she was waiting for a pullback in order to buy. Buy in this price range. China is strong for them and US is turning around. China is 45% of their operating earnings.

This is highly a China, emerging market play. Largest restaurant operator globally and includes KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Over 70% of its operating profits come from international and probably 50% of that is from China. Gives you the opportunity to get into the growth of middle-class China and other emerging markets. Looking at long-term EPS growth of 15%.

Company reported earnings last week and it got below $50 she picked it up and would do so here also. Experiencing higher coasts in labour and food costs and phasing in increases. Consumers are making more money in their markets and middle class is emerging..

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Sep 28/10, UP 14.60%) Would still buy it today. 40% revenues from China. Dominate fast food in China. Asian markets were the first to start rolling over so he got out. He is a little bit sorry it got out of it. They continue to execute very well. He would buy it here. He would like to see the markets stabilize a bit.

DON'T BUY
Great China play but at 17X next year's earnings it is too expensive for him. Lots of other great companies with lower multiples that have the same growth potential. Would prefer 15X earnings as an entry point.

(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Up 34%.) Own the KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut brands. Have about 3000 KFC chains in China and sees it being a 15,000 chain. If you don't own, wait for a pullback. Still a Hold.
