What happened
Shares of fast-food purveyor Yum! Brands ( NYSE:YUM) were giving investors indigestion today as its third-quarter earnings report missed the mark. Results on the bottom line were below expectations, and the company was forced to write down the value of its recent investment in Grubhub, whose stock has plummeted.
So what
The parent of KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut said overall comparable sales rose 3% in the period, though total revenue decreased 4% to $1.34 billion, matching estimates. Comps were flat at Pizza Hut and rose 3% and 4% at KFC and Taco Bell, respectively.
Now what
Looking ahead, the company continues to forecast earnings per share of at least $3.75 for the year, which does not include any loss from the Grubhub investment and compares to the analyst consensus at $3.86.

The COVID-19 epidemic is driving widespread pessimism on Wall Street, but the fast-food chain operator has more exposure to the health crisis than most of its peers

What happened
Shares of Yum! Brands ( NYSE:YUM) were down 15.6% in February, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The struggles of its Pizza Hut brand overshadowed better results from its KFC and Taco Bell chains.
So what
Pizza Hut has underperformed compared to KFC and Taco Bell, and also compared to other pizza-chain competitors. Its U.S. operations are particularly weak, with comparable-store sales down 4% in 2019.
Now what
It's true that Yum! Brands has more exposure to coronavirus in China than most other restaurant companies, and Pizza Hut has been struggling for some time. Investors' concerns are legitimate. But the COVID-19 epidemic is likely to prove a short-term issue, and Pizza Hut could improve.
Yum! successfully spun off its promising China business last month. Here's what investors need to know

What happened
Shares of Yum! Brands, Inc. ( NYSE:YUM) fell 26.3% in the month of November, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, after the fast-food restaurant specialist completed the separation of its China business, Yum China Holdings, Inc. ( NYSE:YUMC).
So what
But this drop wasn't the result of some negative market reaction to the move. As part of the planned separation -- which was originally announced in Oct. 2015 -- Yum! Brands investors received one share of Yum China stock for each share of Yum! Brands they owned as of the close of business on Oct. 19, 2016.
Now what
In the end, Yum! Brands' separation was a zero-sum game in terms of investors' dollars. But Yum! Brands itself is now more effectively positioned to execute the growth strategy and business transformation outlined at its annual investor conference in October.
