CAPS Rating:

Quick service restaurant company comprised of the worldwide operations of A&W All-American Food Restaurants, KFC, Long John Silver's, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Chicken in China. Who knew? Just in time for a growing middle class and some finger licken Olympic crowds. Besides they need something other than a steady diet of pork. Pork fat may rule but have you seen Emeril lately? I've decided that anyone who eats primarily pork is destined to look like the cr...More

Recs 0 (YUM) hokiej88 (56.95) Submitted: 5/07/08 3:14 PM : Start Price: $39.87 YUM Score: 0.29 Yes it's fast food, but the company is diligently working on a greatly expanded health menu at its major restaurants. Taco Bell has just began introducing about 10 items on the menu that are a great value for the $$ and are 9 grams of fat or less. KFC has also spent yrs working on its new grilled chicken that is going to be out soon within the next yr or so. (The chicken is really roasted, not grilled but they are going to be advertising it as grilled) and selling pieces of it by the bucket like they do their regular fried chicken. The roasted chicken is supposedly marinated AND spice rubbed so it should taste fantastic plus it is 66% less fat than KFC's normal fried chicken. I expect KFC and Taco Bell to get alot of healthier eating consumers back into their restaurants now because of this. Pizza Hut might do well with their new pasta selections that can be delivered. And YUM is doing a fantastic job of growing KFC and Pizza Hut in China... Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
