Significant changes are taking place within
Yum! Brands, affecting major stakeholders. The company is conducting a strategic review of one of their iconic restaurant brands,
Pizza Hut, indicating potential for a sale. This narrative shift within the company seems to be a response to Pizza Hut's recent struggles and their Q3 earnings missed estimates. Yum! Brands' quarterly revenue, however, did rise by 8% largely due to significant gains from Taco Bell and KFC.
Chris Turner, an Arkansas native, will be leading Yum! Brands as he takes up the position of
CEO from October 1, 2025. A slew of other leadership changes within the organization has also been initiated, reflecting the strategic focus towards global growth and acceleration. The company plans to move its headquarters, along with 550 employees, to a downtown tower. Further, Yum! brands are set to acquire 128 Taco Bell restaurants for $670 million as it sharpens focus towards areas displaying strong performance. The stock position of Yum! Brands has been adjusted by multiple investment firms, with Burney Co. and Voya Investment Management LLC selling shares, while Thrivent Financial for Lutherans acquired shares.
