YUM business

Growth is Stable:
Indeed, in 2015, Revenue was down 1.3% but Operating expenses decreased by 16%, Operating Income increased by 23% and Net income was up 23%.
Basic EPS increase of 25% makes the company attractable for future investments at the lower stock price level.

Profitability is Stable-:
The company still has a very solid level of ROE and ROA. But what about Stockholder’s equity?
Well, Yum is likely to become a more efficient entity if Gross, Operating and Net margins will stay at the current levels.

Financial health is Low-:
The firm’s cash flow generation is relatively stable.
Yum! Brands’ free cash flow margin is about 8.9% but in the same time the Leverage ratio is around 9%. This is unbelievable and is too dangerous.
