Alternative ways to invest in Yum China Holdings

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Yum China Holdings), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Yum China Holdings is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Yum China Holdings under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Yum China Holdings P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Yum China Holdings's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, Yum China Holdings's shares trade at around 21x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44).

However, Yum China Holdings's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.

Yum China Holdings's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.2239. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Yum China Holdings's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

However, it's sensible to consider Yum China Holdings's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

Yum China Holdings's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $0 billion (£0 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of Yum China Holdings's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
