According to a report released by CLSA, Yum China (YUMC.US) logged a 15% growth in 3Q OP, far above the broker's expectation. Meanwhile, the 3% drop in same-store sales was in line, but narrowing ticket average was a positive signal.

Management now expects an increase in the proportion of franchising stores, giving the broker confidence that single-store sales recovery will not be diluted by opening new stores in less favorable locations. Additionally, this will also lead to reduced capital expenditure and enhanced shareholder returns.
