Yum China: Navigating Challenges And Unlocking Growth Potential
Yum China reported strong 1Q25 results with better-than-expected same-store sales growth and restaurant margins, aided by temporary and permanent store closures. We are positive on YUMC's consistent execution amid China's weak macro backdrop, expecting continued menu innovation and unique store concepts to drive traffic. KCOFFEE's 20% y/y growth and PH's WOW concept are key drivers, expanding YUMC's market presence and offering value-oriented options for consumers.
