On October 9, YUM CHINA rose 3.58% in regular trading, trading at HK$335.0, with turnover of HK$24.7434 million.

Goldman Sachs raised its 12-month target price for YUM CHINA from HK$459 to HK$467 while maintaining a Buy rating, serving as a key catalyst for the movement. The firm expects third-quarter sales, restaurant profit, and operating profit to grow 9.3%, 9.2%, and 10.4% year-over-year respectively, and projects KFC and Pizza Hut same-store sales to each improve 1% quarter-over-quarter.

Concurrently, YUM CHINA has been actively repurchasing shares across both Hong Kong and U.S. markets. On October 7 alone, the company repurchased over 105,000 shares in total, and management has continued to cancel repurchased shares, reducing issued share capital and signaling confidence to the market.
