| 10:12 EDT | | YUM | Yum! Brands falls after reporting 29% China sales decline
Shares of Yum! Brands (YUM) are retreating after the company disclosed that its same store sales had tumbled 29% in China last month, versus the same period in 2012. WHAT'S NEW: The 29% decline in Yum's same-store sales in China, which the company announced on Friday night in an SEC filing, was roughly in-line with the its previous guidance for a decline of about 30%. The outbreak of avian flu in China had a significant negative impact on sales of Yum's KFC restaurants in that country last month, Yum! stated. Historically, the impact of avian flu outbreaks on KFC sales has been "relatively short-lived," Yum! added. ANALYST REACTION: In a note earlier today to investors, Oppenheimer analyst Brian Bittner wrote that Yum's sales in China had probably bottomed last month, as he believes that the avian flu outbreak is unlikely to accelerate. Yum should meet analysts' 2013 consensus estimates, and the company is poised to rebound significantly next year, added the analyst. He kept an Outperform rating on the stock. TODAY'S PRICE ACTION: In early trading, Yum! fell $1.73, or 2.5%, to $68.60. |
