PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 16/22, Up 14%)

Exceptionally well run. Amazing digital capabilities. China is an unpenetrated market. Negatively affected by sentiment, and that's when you want to take advantage. Still holds, and would be willing to buy today.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 17/21, Up 19%) KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, plus other local brands. Wonderfully run. Beaten down by Covid and the threat of delisting. Wonderful balance sheet that can be used to accelerate growth. Valuation has gone up, so it's a hold for him instead of a buy.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 17/21, Down 9%) It's been punished by lockdowns in China. Well-run with dominant brands. They did an equity raise in Hong Kong 2 years ago, so they have a lot of cash. They've been using that to build-out their restaurants, so in 5-10 years time growth looks good. But over the short term is down.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 25/21, Down 17%) Caught in regulatory shift. Building new stores. Hampered by massive lockdowns. As Covid recedes, it will benefit. Long-term demographics remain favourable. Rising disposable income, young population, and longer working hours for urbanites should increase restaurant spending. 14-15% long-term earnings growth. China is tricky, so for new clients, he's taking only partial positions.

COMMENT

She has held Yum Brands for years. When it spun off Yum China, her clients acquired some Yum China shares automatically. Yum China is strictly in China. It pays royalties to Yum Brands for its KFC and Pizza Hut brands. When she invests new money, she invests in Yum Brands, not Yum China. Yum China’s stock dropped significantly today. They have a good presence in China, as a first mover in their space, but the Chinese market is very competitive. The stock price has been volatile because of rumours that the company would be taken over by a Chinese group. With the 12% drop today, this might be a good time to step in to this stock. She had confidence in the consumer in China and this is a company within that space. However, her preference is with the parent, which has exposures to other growing markets such as India and Russia, as well as China. She prefers that diversification and the simplicity of the royalty model.

RISKY

It is difficult to do business in China, and this is about half of Yum Brands (YUM-N) business. It still makes up a large chunk of their business because they are getting payments from them. Yum Brands is basically the KMC brand in China, the largest chain of restaurants in China. However, there were rumours that there were hormones in the supply of chickens, which hurt the company quite a bit, so they spun this part off with the majority of owners being Chinese. An excellent way to play the growth in China. If you can handle the risk, you will likely make some money in this.
