Stonegate initiates coverage on Yum! Brands, ex-Pizza Hut sales up 7%

Stonegate Capital Partners has initiated coverage on Yum! Brands, focusing on the company's performance following its Pizza Hut operations. Excluding Pizza Hut, Yum!'s second quarter 2026 results showed system sales up 7%, units up 6%, same-store sales up 4%, and core operating profit up 8%. Taco Bell remains the primary US growth driver, though a July food safety issue is expected to pressure third-quarter sales and margins. KFC opened 660 restaurants across 55 markets in the second quarter, with units growing 7%. The Pizza Hut divestiture is expected to yield approximately $2.3 billion in net proceeds. Stonegate notes the company will increasingly concentrate on its higher-growth, predominantly franchised KFC and Taco Bell businesses.

Taco Bell sales recover with $1 Mexican pizza deal after lettuce outbreak triggers 2% drop

Taco Bell's same-store sales dropped 2% in July-September following a cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded lettuce, down from a 7% increase in the previous quarter. Parent company Yum Brands reported sales bottomed out the weekend of 18-19 July but have since recovered halfway to year-ago levels. The chain removed shredded iceberg lettuce from US restaurants on 17 July after federal health officials connected it to the outbreak affecting customers in nine states. Taylor Farms recalled iceberg lettuce from central Mexico the following day. Yum Brands chief executive Chris Turner credited quick action, clear social media communication, and daily specials like $1 Mexican pizza for winning back diners. Company shares rose 6% on Thursday. Other chains including Chipotle and Chopt also reported lower traffic due to the outbreak.

Yum Brands posts mixed Q2 results as Taco Bell traffic plunges after cyclospora outbreak

Yum Brands reported mixed second-quarter results on Wednesday but provided no update on the cyclospora outbreak linked to Taco Bell restaurants. The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.62, beating expectations of $1.58, whilst revenue of $2.17 billion fell short of the $2.2 billion forecast. Net income rose to $853 million from $374 million year-over-year. Net revenue climbed 12% to $2.17 billion, driven by new restaurant openings. Global same-store sales increased 3% in the quarter. Taco Bell's same-store sales jumped 7%, whilst KFC reported 2% growth and Pizza Hut declined 1%. The results cover the period ended 30 June, before the FDA linked the outbreak to Taco Bell in mid-July.

Yum! Brands leads Q1 fast food earnings as sector revenues beat estimates by 1.4%

Yum! Brands reported Q1 revenues of $2.06 billion, up 15.2% year-on-year, exceeding analysts' expectations by 0.6%. The owner of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and The Habit Burger Grill delivered strong results, beating EBITDA and same-store sales estimates. Despite the solid performance, the stock has declined 3.7% since reporting and currently trades at $150.75, suggesting investor expectations may have been higher than Wall Street's published projections. The traditional fast food sector showed strength overall in Q1, with 12 tracked companies collectively beating revenue consensus estimates by 1.4%. El Pollo Loco emerged as the quarter's top performer, reporting revenues of $126.2 million, up 5.9% year-on-year and exceeding expectations by 3.2%. Its shares rose 12.5% following the results.
