Summary · why it matters

Yum! Brands is selling its Pizza Hut businesses in two deals totaling $2.7 billion and has approved a $4 billion share buyback. The non-China Pizza Hut business will be sold to private equity firm LongRange Capital for roughly $1.5 billion, while the mainland China business goes to Yum China for $1.2 billion. The $4 billion buyback represents approximately 9% of the company's current market cap. Jim Cramer called the move brilliant, noting that KFC has been solid and Taco Bell terrific, but pizza has been a drag.
