Yum! Brands, Inc. (YUM) Fights Through China Struggle

Page 2 of 2

The market, unfortunately, agrees. Despite the major drop in Chinese business, the stock didn’t pull back at all. At 18 times forward earnings, Yum! isn’t cheap. McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD), which is facing much stronger headwinds currently, is at 16 times earnings. Burger King Worldwide Inc (NYSE:BKW), which just crushed earnings estimates and is growing like a weed, trades at 19 times earnings. Investors may want to wait for a possible pullback in the coming quarter to hit a more attractive entry price into Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE:YUM).
