We travel extensively all over the world, and YUM is all over the world too, especially in SE Asia and South Pacific with its young fast growing populations. YUM outlets are fantastically popular and they know how to tailor their basic products to local taste (YUM encourages this). A great long term investment, esp since it pays a very decent dividend.

YUM seems to be the favorite to continue growth in China. Also, as our economy turns around, they should see improvements in sales here.

I used to (still do) love A&W drive ins. Root beer floats and corn dogs. YUM, yes. KFC? Big in China I guess. They can have them all! Send every KFC outlet to China and we can have 2,000 noodle shops. More than fair. LJ Silver? Ha! Look, if you can go to a place, and not know whether you are eating chicken and fish because they both look and taste the same, that is not a good thing. PZ ok. Taco Hell I love, just wash the cilantro.

Basically it is the China story. The rapid urbanization of China, and increase in incomes provide the macroeconomic foundations for a robust demand for YUM Brands. While the US market will remain stagnant for the next year or so , Asia will provide the demand to support rapid and sustained growth provided the company keeps modifying its food offerings to suit local palates.
