Current thesis
The Q1 beat looked real: revenue and operating profit both grew double digits, store openings set a quarterly record, and transactions stayed positive for the 13th straight quarter. If China consumer sentiment keeps improving and delivery economics stabilize, Yum China can keep compounding EPS and capital returns [#SEC-8K-2026-04-29].
