Chicken, pizza, tacos. Pretty darn simple.
America is the undisputed world leader in junk food. The opportunity is ripe to take our expertise abroad. YUM has the equivalent of three Michelin stars- one for KFC, one for Pizza Hut, and one for… More

I don't think you can overestimate the importance to Yum! Brands of KFC's expansion in China. Now, China is threatening to slap tariffs and/or restrictions on poultry imports in retaliation for US tariffs on tires. Obama needs Ohio's votes, so I doubt he'll be backing down on tires.

Now, I'm not certain whether KFC in China imports their chicken from the US or procures it locally. If it's the former, that will change my outlook in the long run. For now, however, I'm probably far from the only one who isn't sure whether a tariff will hurt KFC, so look for selling in the short term regardless of what the truth is. After all, when it's something as potentially important to Yum!'s earnings as this, not knowing is reason enough to sell in today's market.
