Yum! Brands, Yum China and BJ's Restaurants head into Q2 earnings with digital growth, menu innovation and expansion efforts supporting sales.
Yum Brands is expected to report its quarterly earnings before the bell on Thursday. The announcement comes in the midst of a cyclosporiasis outbreak tied to iceberg lettuce served at some Taco Bell locations.
Besides Wall Street's top-and-bottom-line estimates for Yum (YUM), review projections for some of its key metrics to gain a deeper understanding of how the company might have fared during the quarter ended June 2026.
YUM enters Q2 with Taco Bell momentum, KFC expansion and digital growth supporting sales, while higher investments may weigh on profits.
Yum (YUM) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.
Yum! Brands, the owner of Taco Bell, will release its Q2 on Thursday, July 30. Ahead of the release, YUM shares have come under pressure following news that Taco Bell was linked to the recent Cyclospora outbreak. The reversal in sentiment marks an unfortunate speed bump in the restaurant operator's previous momentum that was due in large part to a resurgence in revenue growth from Taco Bell.
The United States' largest foodborne illness outbreak in recent years, linked to shredded lettuce served at some Taco Bell eateries, may dent the fast-food chain's sales, but is unlikely to cause any long-lasting damage to the brand, analysts said.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) today announced that Nai De Leon has been appointed Chief People & Culture Officer, effective November 1, 2026.
Yum! Brands faces a cyclosporiasis outbreak, but the impact appears less severe than past industry incidents, with no fatalities and effective recalls underway. I revise my price target on YUM to ~$165.60 per share, reflecting a modest 12.6% upside from current levels and factoring in a minor EBITDA headwind. I reissue a 'Buy' rating, citing satisfactory total return potential when including YUM's 2% dividend yield and prospective share buybacks.
The FDA and CDC are investigating iceberg lettuce sold by Taylor Farms to confirm the source of the cyclospora outbreak
