Summary
Yum! Brands reported second-quarter 2026 results with GAAP EPS of $3.08 and EPS excluding special items of $1.62, up 12%, on worldwide system sales growth of 5% excluding foreign currency translation. The company said it entered two definitive agreements to sell Pizza Hut — the business excluding Mainland China to private equity firm LongRange Capital, and Pizza Hut in Mainland China to Yum China, which remains master franchisee for KFC and Taco Bell in Mainland China. CEO Chris Turner said the sale concludes the strategic review and positions Yum! as a more focused organization.
