Yum! Brands, Inc. (YUM) — VMCI valuation read
The headline on Yum! Brands, Inc. (YUM) is a 55/100 VMCI score, set against a Consumer Cyclical sector median of 50. That 5-point above-median read reflects the five-pillar weighting and, for a mid-cap name, suggests a relative-value tailwind is in the data.
YUM insider activity report: 0 buys, 0 sells filed via Form 4 over the past 30 days. The next datable items are the 10-Q schedule and any 8-K-triggering events; both feed the VMCI Integrity pillar more than the price tape.
**Investor frame.** YUM trades at 21.0x earnings, 17% above the Consumer Cyclical median of 18.0x sets the value side. ROIC of 19.0% sits 9.0pp above the Consumer Cyclical median (10.0%) sets the quality side. Net debt to EBITDA of 0.4x leaves covenant headroom sets the risk side, the three lines a value buyer reads first on YUM.
