Aaron Powell, then-CEO of Pizza Hut, sold 6,001 shares (6.0K) of YUM at $160.42; scheduled 10b5-1 plan

Aaron Powell, who was CEO of Pizza Hut at the time of this transaction, executed a scheduled sale of 6,001 shares (6.0K shares) under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan on 2026-07-01, reducing his holdings by -33.3% from 18,004 to 12,003 shares. The sale was conducted at $160.42 per share, generating $962,680.42 ($962.7K), and occurred when YUM was trading -5.0% from its 52-week high of $169.39. Because this transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan, the sale timing is scheduled and not discretionary, and therefore does not reflect a directional signal based on market conditions. His prior two sales at YUM on 2026-05-19 and 2026-02-05 showed mixed near-term returns (30-day: -0.2% and -0.9% respectively), offering limited evidence of consistent timing accuracy at this ticker.

With fundamentals showing $2.1B quarterly revenue, $432.0M net income, and an 8.8% annual growth rate, the company maintains stable operational performance despite recent price weakness.

YUM COO Tracy L Skeans sold 8,311 shares for $1,332,990.56; holdings reduced 60.9% to 5,334 shares.

Tracy L Skeans (COO and CPO) executed 2 separate sales totaling 8,311 shares for $1,332,990.56 on 2026-02-17 at blended average price $160.39, reducing her position from 13,645 shares to 5,334 shares (a -60.9% reduction).

Across her cross-ticker track record, Skeans has posted 11 prior sells with an average 90d return of -1.1% and a 90d well-timed rate of 36.36%; her same-ticker history at YUM shows 2 of 5 prior sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with recent November 2025 sales followed by +7.8% and +7.6% gains respectively. The magnitude of this position reduction (8.3K shares) and the near-peak execution price stand out against her historical selling cadence at this ticker.

CEO Aaron Powell sells 12,000 YUM shares (45.0% of holdings) for $1.9M at $161.44

Aaron Powell, CEO of Pizza Hut, sold 12,000 shares (12.0K shares) at $161.44 on 2026-02-05, reducing his holdings from 26,650 shares to 14,650 shares (a 45.0% reduction). The transaction occurred near YUM's 52-week high of $162.93, with the stock up 8.3% over 30 days and 9.3% over 90 days. While the company shows solid fundamentals—$2.0B in quarterly revenue, $397.0M net income, and 6.7% annual revenue growth—the significant reduction in the CEO's equity stake warrants attention. The sale magnitude and proximity to recent price highs suggest material changes in the executive's economic exposure to the company, which investors should monitor against forthcoming operational developments and guidance.

His most recent prior YUM sale on 2025-08-15 showed +0.8% 30-day and +1.0% 90-day returns. The full liquidation at $149.10, when the stock currently trades at $148.82, coincides with YUM trading near its recent range but -8.4% from its 52-week high of $162.53. The transaction warrants monitoring to understand whether this complete exit reflects routine portfolio management or a material shift in the insider's conviction regarding the company.

YUM CEO Gibbs sells 7,106 shares at $146.84 for $1,043,445.04; holds 102,893 shares post-sale

David W Gibbs, Chief Executive Officer, executed 2 separate sales totaling 7,106 shares for $1,043,445.04 at a blended average price of $146.84 on 2025-08-15.

At his cross-ticker track record, prior sells have realized an average 90-day return of -0.5% and a well-timed rate of 56.25%, suggesting modest historical ability to exit ahead of declines; however, at YUM specifically, timing outcomes are limited, with only 1 of 1 measurable 90-day outcomes being well-timed. The current stock price of $149.34 stands -8.1% below the 52-week high of $162.53, and the sale price of $146.84 represents execution slightly below current levels, though without additional context on scheduled trading plan status or strategic rationale, the disposition reflects a routine portfolio adjustment by the CEO.

COO/CPO Tracy L Skeans sold 12,220 shares of YUM at $148.24, liquidating entire position for $1.8M

Skeans liquidated her entire YUM holding of 12,220 shares at $148.24 on 2025-08-15, representing -100.0% of pre-transaction holdings.

The current price of $149.34 is -8.1% from the 52-week high of $162.53, placing the position within a mid-range zone. The company fundamentals show solid quarterly performance ($1.9B revenue, $374.0M net income, +6.7% annual growth), with a P/E of 28.94 and $41.4B market cap. The complete exit merits attention given Skeans' historical accuracy in selling before subsequent declines at this same ticker.

CEO David W. Gibbs sold 7,117 shares of YUM for $1,043,352.20 at $146.60 on 2025-07-15.

With YUM trading at a P/E of 28.27 and the company reporting $1.8B quarterly revenue with 6.7% annual growth and $253.0M net income, the sale does not clearly signal distress but reflects ongoing open-market portfolio adjustments by the CEO.

David W Gibbs, Chief Executive Officer, executed 2 separate sales totaling 7,032 shares for $1,012,608.00 at a blended average price of $144.00.

His same-ticker history at YUM shows 2 of 2 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with returns of -7.6% and -10.0% respectively; however, the timing pattern for this specific filing cannot yet be assessed. The transaction's scale and CEO-level execution warrant observation given the recent price weakness context, though the magnitude of the reduction relative to total holdings remains modest.
