Analysis Summary
Yum Brands announced it is selling Pizza Hut for $2.7 billion in a split deal — Chinese company Yum China gets mainland China locations, private equity firm LongRange Capital gets U.S. and international restaurants. The 68-year-old chain has struggled with outdated locations and competition from delivery-focused competitors. The sale closes a chapter on one of the oldest pizza chains as consumer dining habits shift away from traditional sit-down pizza restaurants.
