Best known as the parent company of Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC, Yum Brands (YUM) is scheduled to report Q4 2015 earnings February 3, after the market closes. The fast food giant made headlines this past quarter when they announced a split of its operations, featuring a sole China division. Until Yum completes the Yum China spinoff, China is still what matters most to Yum, representing 35% of its current operating income. On top of weakness in China, macroeconomic concerns, including foreign exchange headwinds and contaminated poultry have put pressure on the company's bottom line. Even with so much hinging on China, Yum is expected to report modest gains in key metrics such as same stores sales and revenue. The Estimize consensus is calling for EPS of $0.69 and revenue of $4.017 billion, slightly higher than Wall Street's estimates. Compared to Q4 2014, this represents a projected YoY increase in EPS and revenue of 14% and 1%, respectively. Since the announced split, Yum estimates have seen heavy downward revisions to the tune of 17% and 4% declines in EPS and revenue, respectively.
Do you think YUM can beat estimates? There is still time to get your estimate in here!
