Yum! Brands’s sales rose in the first quarter, fueled by strong sales at Taco Bell and KFC, though partially offset by weakness in its Pizza Hut brand. The company remains optimistic about international sales despite trade challenges.
On April 30, the parent company of KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and The Habit Burger Grill reported a 5 percent rise in worldwide system sales, led by an 11 percent increase in Taco Bell sales and a 5 percent increase in KFC sales. A 3 percent decline in Pizza Hut sales partially offset these gains.
