Yum China (ISIN US98850P1093) will report its unaudited third-quarter results on November 3, 2026, after the Hong Kong market closes and before the U.S. market opens. Yum China announced the date on October 14, 2026, with management scheduled to hold its earnings call at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time the same day.

Why November 3 matters

The upcoming report will show whether the restaurant operator maintained the operating progress outlined in its second-quarter call. The company reported USD 3.14 billion of revenue for the second quarter of 2026, up 12.60 percent from USD 2.79 billion in the second quarter of 2025, according to Yahoo Finance.

Second-quarter operating profit reached USD 348 million, up 7.00 percent year over year, while net income was USD 244 million, up 6.00 percent. Diluted earnings per share rose 14.00 percent year over year to USD 0.70. These figures give the next report a clear benchmark for sales, profit and per-share growth.

Q2 growth and margin

Yum China opened 560 net new restaurants in the second quarter and had opened 1,209 locations in the first half of 2026. The earnings call also reported a 1.00 percent same-store sales increase and a 4.00 percent rise in same-store transactions for the quarter.

The operating picture was not uniform across brands. KFC restaurant margin expanded by 20 basis points to 17.10 percent in the second quarter, while Pizza Hut restaurant margin fell by 40 basis points as delivery costs and new product investment weighed on profitability. Management said operating margin reached 11.10 percent, up 20 basis points year over year.

What does the next report test?

The central question is whether store expansion can continue alongside positive same-store performance. Management said it remained confident in its 2026 targets during the July 30, 2026 call, including mid- to high-single-digit system sales growth, high-single-digit operating profit growth and double-digit earnings-per-share growth.

Three dated milestones

On June 16, 2026, Yum China entered an agreement to acquire Shanghai Pizza Hut for USD 1.2 billion, according to Simply Wall St. On July 30, 2026, the company reported second-quarter revenue of USD 3.14 billion and net income of USD 244 million. On October 14, 2026, it set November 3, 2026, as the date for its third-quarter results.

Next reporting date

The next scheduled event is the third-quarter earnings release on November 3, 2026, followed by the management call at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The timing gives investors a defined checkpoint for the September 30, 2026 reporting period.

Investor context
