Yum Brands says U.S. stinks, China rocks

by Tony Sagami on April 24, 2009

Yum Brands reported a 12% decline in quarterly profits. As I expected, business in the U.S. stinks (same store sales down 2%) while business is international markets are going strong (same store sales up 6%).

India was really kicking butt — 30% same store sales increase.

If any of the stocks you own aren’t doing a significant amount of business in China, it is going to have a tough time showing any growth.
