Yum! Brands, the parent company of popular franchises such as
Pizza Hut,
KFC, and
Taco Bell, is reportedly considering the sale of Pizza Hut due to its struggling performance. The current state of Pizza Hut has been controversial, which was amplified by an executive’s bold stock move. This move comes amid reports that Yum! Brands' Q3 revenues have risen by 8%, primarily driven by Taco Bell and KFC.
Yum! Brands is exploring strategic options to maximize shareholder value and help Pizza Hut reach its full potential. Among other developments, the company is set to acquire 128 Taco Bell restaurants for $670 million, advancing its AI strategy. However, questions persist on whether this potential sale makes YUM stock a buy. Also, voices say that without Pizza Hut, YUM is an excellent “Asset Light” company. The new CEO of Yum considers selling Pizza Hut, but it remains to be seen how this will impact the future direction of the conglomerate.
