As of the September 1, 2026 close, YUM finished 1.29% below its 150-day moving average ($155.31) and 0.45% below its 200-day moving average ($154.00). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is YUM overbought or oversold?
At the September 1, 2026 close, YUM's RSI(14) was 62.3, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was positive, so short-term momentum leaned bullish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, YUM has $683.0M in cash with $13.41B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. The company generates $833.2M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. Return on assets of 22.7% further supports the picture of efficient asset utilization. Revenue has grown from $6.84B (2022) to $8.21B (2025), reflecting a 20% increase over the period.
YUM's low beta indicates it tends to be less volatile than the broader market, which may suit investors seeking more stable price behavior. Yum! Brands, Inc. carries a heavier debt load relative to its cash position, which introduces financial risk that investors should weigh. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence Yum! Brands, Inc.'s trajectory.
