Yum! Brands, Inc.

Shareholders of Yum! Brands Inc (Symbol: YUM) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 2% annualized dividend yield can sell the June 2026 covered call at the $150 strike and collect the premium based on the $9.30 bid, which annualizes to an additional 7.2% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 9.2% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $150 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but YUM shares would have to advance 3.6% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 10% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Yum! Brands Inc, looking at the dividend history chart for YUM below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 2% annualized dividend yield.
Below is a chart showing YUM's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $150 strike highlighted in red:
The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the June 2026 covered call at the $150 strike gives good reward for the risk of having given away the upside beyond $150. (Do most options expire worthless? This and six other common options myths debunked). We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for Yum! Brands Inc (considering the last 249 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $144.85) to be 22%.

In mid-afternoon trading on Monday, the put volume among S&P 500 components was 740,222 contracts, with call volume at 1.52M, for a put:call ratio of 0.49 so far for the day.

eBay EBAY is scheduled to report its second-quarter 2025 results on July 30.
For the second quarter, eBay expects total revenues between $2.59 billion and $2.66 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2025 revenues is pegged at $2.65 billion, indicating 2.91% year-over-year growth.
EBAY’s second-quarter 2025 non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to be between $1.24 and $1.31, representing year-over-year growth between 4% and 11%.
The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $1.30 per share, unchanged over the past 30 days. This projection indicates a year-over-year increase of 10.17% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
eBay Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
EBAY surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in each of the trailing four quarters, with an average surprise of 3.11%.
Let us see how things are shaping up for the upcoming announcement.
Key Factors to Note Ahead of EBAY’s Q2 Results
eBay’s second-quarter 2025 performance is expected to have benefited from sustained momentum in its focus categories, including luxury goods, collectibles, particularly trading cards and refurbished products. These high-margin segments, which supported GMV growth and an improved take rate in the first quarter, are expected to have driven continued top-line and profitability gains in the quarter under review, underscoring the company’s strategic emphasis on expanding its high-value niche offerings.
Through targeted geographic strategies, including collaborations with Facebook Marketplace and the European rollout of Klarna’s Buy Now, Pay Later offering, eBay is expected to have broadened its reach, adding incremental GMV and strengthening growth in the quarter under review.
eBay’s second-quarter product innovations included the ‘Magical Listing’ AI tool, improvements to search and advertising and the launch of its Operator agent. By simplifying listing creation and enhancing user engagement, these initiatives are likely to have strengthened seller productivity and driven GMV gains during the quarter.
The ramp-up of eBay’s managed shipping program in the UK is expected to have bolstered its second-quarter 2025 performance by simplifying logistics for C2C sellers and improving trust among buyers. With the introduction of free shipping, flexible carrier options and plans for pickup and drop-off services, adoption likely increased, and the phased mandate for new and occasional sellers is projected to have driven incremental revenues and profitability during the period.
However, eBay’s second-quarter 2025 performance is likely to have faced pressure from tariff uncertainty, particularly on China-to-US trade, with roughly 5% of GMV exposed to cross-border flows. Rising trade frictions and shifting policies are likely to have compressed margins and slowed liquidity despite mitigation efforts like SpeedPak.

eBay Set to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store for the Stock?

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. CMG reported second-quarter 2025 results, with earnings beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues missing the same.
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Q2 Comps Discussion
In second-quarter 2025, Chipotle faced challenges due to a 4% decline in comparable restaurant sales. This drop stemmed primarily from weaker consumer sentiment, particularly in May, which softened transaction trends. However, management noted a rebound in June following the launch of summer marketing efforts, including the successful rollout of Chipotle Honey Chicken and the “Summer of Extras” rewards campaign. These initiatives helped turn comps and transaction trends positive by the end of the quarter, a momentum that continued into July.
Despite this improvement, volatility in consumer behavior prompted the company to revise its full-year outlook. The cautious guidance indicates both macroeconomic uncertainties and competitive pricing pressures across the fast casual and QSR landscape.
Still, Chipotle remains optimistic about returning to mid-single-digit comp growth over time. The company is leaning on its “comp flywheel,” a strategy focused on operations, marketing and digital experience, to regain momentum. Enhancements in kitchen efficiency, expanded menu innovation and deeper digital engagement via loyalty programs are key elements of this plan.
CMG’s 2025 Outlook
For 2025, management anticipates comparable sales to remain roughly flat, down from the earlier projection of low-single-digit growth. It expects to open between 315 and 345 new company-operated restaurants in 2025, with more than 80% featuring a Chipotlane. It expects a tax rate in the range of 25-27% in 2025.
CMG’s Zacks Rank & Key Picks
Chipotle currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Some better-ranked stocks in the Zacks Retail-Wholesale sector are Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. CBRL, Yum China Holdings, Inc. YUMC and Yum! Brands, Inc. YUM.
Cracker Barrel currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Cracker Barrel has gained 24.4% in the year-to-date period. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Cracker Barrel’s fiscal 2026 sales and EPS indicates growth of 1.8% and 9.4%, respectively, from the year-ago period’s levels.
Yum China presently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). The stock has gained 5.2% in the past six months.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Yum China's 2025 sales and EPS implies growth of 2.8% and 6.9%, respectively, from the year-ago levels.
Yum! Brands presently carries a Zacks Rank #2. The stock has gained 9.4% in the year-to-date period.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Yum! Brands’ 2025 sales and EPS indicate an increase of 6.9% and 10%, respectively, from the year-ago levels.

Chipotle Q2 Comps Fall 4%, Guidance Trimmed Amid Volatility

Starbucks Corporation SBUX is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2025 results on July 29, 2025, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 16.3%.
Trend in Estimate Revision of SBUX
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter EPS has remained unchanged at 46 cents in the past 30 days. The expected figure indicates a fall of 31.2% from the year-ago quarter’s 93 cents per share.
The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $9.29 billion. The metric implies a gain of 1.9% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Factors Likely to Shape Starbucks’ Quarterly Results
Starbucks’ fiscal third-quarter top line is likely to have increased year over year, driven by contributions from net new company-operated store openings. Continued menu innovation and targeted labor investments are expected to have supported demand and transaction growth during the quarter.
Furthermore, ongoing investments in the Back to Starbucks strategy execution, various restructuring actions and supporting marketing activities are expected to have impacted the company’s third-quarter performance. However, the impact of the Back to Starbucks strategy might have remained limited in the near term, as changes across the U.S. store base are still underway.
Despite its strong brand equity, Starbucks continues to face comparable store sales challenges affected by reduced customer traffic. Reflecting the ongoing challenges, our model predicts fiscal third-quarter comps to remain flat year over year.
Starbucks Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
SBUX’s fiscal third-quarter margins might have remained under pressure due to inflationary costs related to labor, raw materials and supply-chain inefficiencies. While operational improvements are expected to have partially offset these pressures, investments in partner wages might have weighed on the company’s profitability. Heightened tariff exposure, especially on merchandise from China, is also likely to have added to the overall cost burden. Our model predicts total operating expenses in the fiscal third quarter to rise 10.7% year over year to $5.5 billion.
What the Zacks Model Unveils for SBUX
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for SBUX this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. This is not the case here.
You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Starbucks to Report Q3 Earnings: What Lies Ahead for the Stock?

Domino's Pizza, Inc. DPZ reported second-quarter fiscal 2025 results. Its earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while revenues beat the same.
Following the announcement, the company’s shares gained 5.3% in today’s pre-market trading session.
In the fiscal second quarter, the company saw revenue growth supported by several key factors. In the United States, both delivery and carryout channels experienced gains, helping the brand capture additional market share within the competitive pizza quick-service restaurant segment. The company completed its rollout across the two largest food delivery aggregators, which expanded customer reach and boosted order volumes.
DPZ's Q2 Earnings & Revenue Discussion
In the quarter, Domino's reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.81, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.93. The bottom line also declined 5.5% from $4.03 reported in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues of $1,145.1 million beat the consensus mark of $1,144 million. Moreover, the top line increased 4.3% on a year-over-year basis. This upside can be attributed to strong contributions from U.S. franchise advertising and higher supply-chain revenues.
In second-quarter fiscal 2025, Domino's had 178 net store openings.
Domino's Pizza Inc Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
DPZ’s Other Metrics
Global retail sales (excluding foreign currency impact) rose 5.6% on a year-over-year basis. This upside was driven by a year-over-year increase in international (6%) and U.S. store sales (5.1%).
Comps at Domino’s domestic stores (including company-owned and franchise stores) rose 3.4% year over year. We estimated the metric to increase 6.7% year over year.
At domestic company-owned stores, Domino’s comps increased 2.6% compared with the 4.5% rise reported a year ago.
Domestic franchise store comps rose 3.4% compared with a 4.8% increase reported in the prior-year quarter.
Comps at international stores, excluding foreign currency translation, rose 2.4% compared with a 2.1% improvement reported in the prior-year quarter. We estimated the metric to increase 1% year over year.
DPZ’s Q2 Margins
In the fiscal second quarter, Domino’s gross margin expanded 70 basis points (bps) year over year to 40.1%. However, U.S. company-owned store gross margin contracted 200 bps year over year to 15.6%. This downside can be attributed to the increase in the company’s food basket pricing to stores and higher insurance costs.
Balance Sheet of DPZ
As of June 15, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $272.9 million compared with $186.1 million as of Dec. 29, 2024. Long-term debt (less current portion) at the end of the fiscal second quarter totaled $3.83 billion, which was in line with fiscal 2024-end. Inventory amounted to $69.7 million compared with $70.9 million as of Dec. 31, 2024.
Capital expenditure at the end of the fiscal second quarter totaled $32.2 million, down from $43.7 million reported in the prior-year quarter.

Domino's Q2 Earnings Miss, Revenues Beat Estimates, Stock Up

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. CMG is scheduled to report its second-quarter 2025 results after the closing bell on July 23, 2025.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.6%. CMG has an impressive record of surpassing earnings expectations. Its earnings beat the consensus mark in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 9.2%.
How Are Estimates Placed for CMG?

For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at approximately $3.1 billion. The metric implies an increase of 4.4% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Let us look at how things might have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors Shaping Chipotle’s Q2 Performance
Chipotle’s top line is expected to have increased year over year in the second quarter, driven by strong digitalization, expansion efforts and marketing initiatives. The company’s investment in technology and innovation is likely to have bolstered its operations.
Furthermore, Chipotle’s focus on marketing during the quarter is likely to have supported efforts to enhance brand visibility and cultural relevance. These initiatives are aimed at driving consumer engagement and expected to have aided in stabilizing traffic and sales performance.
Our model predicts second-quarter food and beverage revenues to increase 4.5% year over year to $3.1 billion. Delivery service revenues are expected to be $17.4 million, indicating a year-over-year decrease of 4.3%.
However, soft comparable restaurant sales, due to lower transactions, are likely to have hurt the company’s top line in the second quarter. With no major shift in the consumer environment, the pressure on sales trends is likely to have persisted through the quarter. Our model predicts comps to decline 2.5% year over year in the second quarter.
Elevated wage and commodity inflation are likely to have negatively impacted the company’s bottom line performance in the second quarter of 2025. For the to-be-reported quarter, the company projects labor costs to be in the mid-24% range, with wage inflation in the low single digits. Marketing expenses are expected to be in the mid-2% range for the quarter, while other operating costs are forecasted in the high-13% range, adding to overall cost pressure. Additionally, the impact of newly enacted tariffs, including those on aluminum and the broad-based 10%, is estimated to contribute around 20 basis points in the second quarter, adding further pressure to margins.
Our model predicts food, beverage and packaging costs to be $929.6 million, indicating a 6.4% year-over-year rise. Per the model, labor costs are expected to increase 10.2% to $789.5 million. Our model predicts a restaurant-level margin of 26.7%. In second-quarter 2024, the company reported a restaurant-level margin of 28.9%.
What Our Model Unveils for CMG
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Chipotle this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is exactly the case here, as elaborated below.

Chipotle to Report Q2 Earnings: What Lies Ahead for the Stock?

McDonald's Corporation MCD continues to lean into its digital and loyalty capabilities as a core pillar of the growth strategy, especially amid macroeconomic pressures and uneven global traffic trends.
On the first-quarter 2025earnings call management reaffirmed its confidence in the long-term value of digital engagement, even as broader consumer weakness, particularly among lower and middle-income cohorts, weighed on comparable sales.
In the United States, the company highlighted the role of its app-based digital offers and the McValue platform in stabilizing guest count. Although total U.S. comp sales declined 3.6% during the quarter, McDonald’s outperformed many peers in guest traffic, aided by personalized digital promotions and in-app exclusive deals. The recent nationwide $5 Meal Deal and the Buy One, Add One for $1 offer were driven primarily through the app, reinforcing the platform’s centrality to customer engagement and spend.
Internationally, digital loyalty adoption is yielding similar benefits. In France, Germany and Canada, markets where McDonald’s has successfully implemented everyday value menus and meal bundles, loyalty program traction and digital ordering have supported market share gains despite declining QSR traffic. Canada, in particular, benefited from a high-performing “Hockey Showdown” digital campaign, which lifted both engagement and sandwich category sales.
Customer satisfaction scores hit all-time highs in the United States and key international markets, a testament to the success of streamlined digital channels and personalized rewards. While McDonald’s remains cautious about near-term consumer sentiment, the data-driven marketing, loyalty expansion and digital-first strategies are helping it navigate through industry turbulence and emerge more competitive in key geographies.
Competitors Push Ahead With Digital and Loyalty Innovations
As McDonald’s ramps up its digital and loyalty efforts, key competitors, like Starbucks Corporation SBUX and Yum! Brands, Inc. YUM (parent of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut), are also sharpening their focus on tech-driven customer engagement.
Starbucks remains a benchmark in loyalty with its Rewards program, which boasts more than 34 million active U.S. members. The company’s mobile app accounts for a significant share of U.S. transactions, enabling targeted offers and frictionless payments. Starbucks’ success in digital personalization continues to drive frequency and ticket growth, especially among affluent customers, a segment also showing resilience for McDonald’s.
Meanwhile, Yum! Brands is aggressively expanding its digital ecosystem. Taco Bell’s loyalty membership recently crossed 60 million globally, while KFC is integrating more AI-based ordering and delivery enhancements. Yum’s digital sales hit a record 45% of total sales, indicating robust loyalty integration and app-based convenience.
Together, these players are raising the bar, pushing McDonald’s to continually evolve its digital strategy.
MCD’s Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates
McDonald’s shares have gained 16.7% in the past year, outperforming the industry’s 10.6% growth.

Stocks lost some steam and fell back from their best levels Wednesday, with the S&P 500 retreating from a 4-month high on hawkish comments from Fed Chair Powell and a weak US home sales report.
US MBA mortgage applications rose +1.1% in the week ended June 20, with the purchase mortgage sub-index down -0.4% and the refinancing mortgage sub-index up +3.0%. The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage rose +4 bp to 6.88% from 6.84% in the prior week.
US May new home sales fell -13.7% m/m to a 7-month low of 623,000, weaker than expectations of -6.7% m/m to 693,000.
Fed Chair Powell stated that policymakers don't need to rush and lower interest rates, as recent economic data is backward-looking and many economists expect "a meaningful increase in inflation" over the course of this year due to tariffs.
Late Tuesday evening, Kansas City Fed President Schmid stated that the current "wait and see" monetary policy posture is appropriate, as the Fed should wait to see how tariffs and other policies impact the economy before adjusting interest rates.
The markets this week will watch to see if the ceasefire holds between Israel and Iran. Also, any new tariff news or trade deals will be scrutinized. On Thursday, Q1 GDP is expected to be unrevised at -0.2% (q/q annualized). Also, weekly initial unemployment claims are expected to fall by -2,000 to 243,000. Friday brings May personal spending (expected +0.1% m/m) and May personal income (expected +0.3% m/m). Also on Friday, the May core PCE price index, the Fed's preferred price gauge, is expected to rise by +0.1% m/m and +2.6% y/y. Finally, Friday's June University of Michigan US consumer sentiment index is expected to be revised lower by -0.2 points to 60.3.
The markets are discounting the chances at 25% for a -25 bp rate cut at the July 29-30 FOMC meeting.
Overseas stock markets on Wednesday settled mixed. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed down -0.85%. China's Shanghai Composite rallied to a 6-1/4 month high and closed up +1.04%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 closed up +0.39%.
Interest Rates
September 10-year T-notes (ZNU25) Wednesday closed up +1 tick. The 10-year T-note yield fell -0.6 bp to 4.289%. Sep T-notes rose to a 1-1/2 month high on Wednesday, and the 10-year T-note yield fell to a 1-1/2 month low of 4.275%. T-notes recovered from early losses Wednesday as short covering emerged on the weaker-than-expected US May new home sales report. T-notes also garnered support from the Federal Reserve's plan to lower capital requirements for banks to 3.5% to 4.5% from the current 5%, which would allow banks to hold more Treasuries.
T-notes were under pressure Wednesday on negative carryover from weakness in European government bonds. Also, hawkish Fed comments undercut T-notes when Fed Chair Powell said that policymakers don't need to rush and lower interest rates, and Kansas City Fed President Schmid said the Fed should wait to see how tariffs and other policies impact the economy before adjusting interest rates. Weak demand for the Treasury's $70 billion auction of 5-year T-notes also weighed on T-note prices as the auction had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.36, below the 10-auction average of 2.40.
European government bond yields on Wednesday moved higher. The 10-year German bund yield rose to a 1-week high of 2.577% and finished up +2.1 bp to 2.565%. The 10-year UK gilt yield rebounded from a 1-1/2 month low of 4.440% and finished up +0.8 bp to 4.481%.
Eurozone May new car registrations rose +1.6% y/y to 927,000, the biggest increase in five months.
Swaps are discounting the chances at 8% for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at the July 24 policy meeting.
