Like many restaurant stocks, shares of Yum! Brands haven't been the best performers recently, returning around 6% since my last piece in November. Same-store sales growth hasn't been too bad, driven by the continued strength of Taco Bell at home and KFC abroad. These shares continue to trade on a circa mid-20s multiple of consensus EPS.

It reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.44, missing Wall Street estimates of $1.46, and revenue of $1.93 billion, below projections of $1.94 billion.
