    KFC parent Yum reports surprise drop in global same-store sales on weak demand

    Shares of Yum Brands were down 3.7% in premarket trade after the Pizza Hut parent joined coffee giant Starbucks in recording its first drop in total same-store sales in about three years. "As expected, same-store sales were pressured this quarter, but we are encouraged by strong two-year same-store sales growth and positive momentum exiting the quarter," said CEO David Gibbs. Yum Brands' total revenue fell nearly 3% to $1.60 billion in the first-quarter ended March 31, missing analysts' estimates of $1.71 billion, as per LSEG data.
