Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from YUM's reported EPS growth of 3.8% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $6.76
- Implied price
- $182.45
- Return from $136.37
- 6.0% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $90.71 — -33.5% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 19 | 23 | 27 | 31 | 35 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -6.2% | -10.7% | -7.2% | -4.2% | -1.5% | 0.9% |
| -1.2% | -6.0% | -2.3% | 0.9% | 3.7% | 6.3% |
| 3.8% | -1.2% | 2.7% | 6.0% | 9.0% | 11.6% |
| 8.8% | 3.6% | 7.6% | 11.1% | 14.2% | 17.0% |
| 13.8% | 8.3% | 12.5% | 16.2% | 19.5% | 22.4% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

>>62708733 >NPC International, which filed for Chapter 11 in July, announced an agreement Monday with Pizza Hut's owner Yum! Brands (YUM)to close roughly a quarter of its restaurants and sell the remaining locations. Specific restaurants and timing have not yet been determined, but NPC said a "substantial majority" of affected locations have dining rooms. NPC being a player in slop pizza franchises is too on the nose for me. Truly clownish.

68 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
