The upcoming report from Yum China Holdings (YUMC - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $0.13 per share, indicating no change from the year-ago quarter compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $2.37 billion, representing an increase of 13.5% year over year.
