Is Yum! Brands stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Yum! Brands stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Yum! Brands's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Revenue TTM $7 billion
Operating margin TTM 34.48%
Gross profit TTM $3.3 billion
Return on assets TTM 25.17%
Return on equity TTM 0%
Profit margin 22.92%

Yum! Brands share dividends

48%

Dividend payout ratio: 48.48% of net profits

Recently Yum! Brands has paid out, on average, around 48.48% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.03% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Yum! Brands shareholders could enjoy a 2.03% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Yum! Brands's case, that would currently equate to about $1.88 per share.

While Yum! Brands's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Yum! Brands may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Yum! Brands's most recent dividend payout was on 6 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 23 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Yum! Brands's shares ever split?

Yum! Brands's shares were split on a 1391:1000 basis on 31 October 2016. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1391 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Yum! Brands shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 28.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Yum! Brands shares which in turn could have impacted Yum! Brands's share price.

Yum! Brands share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Yum! Brands's shares have ranged in value from as little as $113.8491 up to $142.4998. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

YUM.US volatility(beta: 1.08)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Yum! Brands's is 1.082. This would suggest that Yum! Brands's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
