The Quickest Earnings Preview for Yum! Brands (YUM) Stock

YUM

Today’s quick video takes a look at Yum! Brands (YUM - Free Report) heading into their earnings report. The company, which is best known for its Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC divisions, has been on a nice run so far in 2016, and it actually hasn’t missed earnings estimates this year either.

The stock has also moved out of ‘sell’ territory and it is now a ‘hold’, while the earnings ESP suggests that the most recent estimates have been positive. This is definitely a good sign for YUM heading into the release, but let’s not discount the impact from a sluggish industry. The overall space is ranked in the bottom 25%, so it may be difficult for YUM to breakout given these trends.
