Significance 6/10

CEO David W. Gibbs sold 7,176 shares at $149.80 for $1,074,964.80; holdings down 6.5% to 102,893 shares

David W. Gibbs, Chief Executive Officer of YUM Brands, executed 2 separate sales totaling 7,176 shares at an average price of $149.80 on September 15, 2025, reducing his holdings by 6.5%. The CEO's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 50.00%, indicating historically mixed timing outcomes; however, at YUM specifically, his prior 5 trades show 0 of 1 measurable sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The company trades at a P/E of 28.86 with recent quarterly revenue of $1,933,000,000.00 and annual growth of 6.7%, reflecting a mature, profitable business. The transaction occurred at $149.80, above the current price of $148.90, positioning the trade modestly above today's market level and 8.4% below the 52-week high of $162.53.

Significance 5/10

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. His post-transaction holdings of 102,893 shares represent a -6.5% reduction from the 109,999 shares held pre-transaction. 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.

Significance 5/10

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

CEO David W. Gibbs executed 2 separate sales totaling 7,117 shares for $1,043,352.20 on 2025-07-15, reducing his holdings by 6.5% from 110,010 to 102,893 shares. The transaction occurred at $146.60 per share, above the current price of $145.00 but 10.8% below the 52-week high of $162.53. His cross-ticker track record across 20 prior sells shows a 50.00% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of -0.4%, though at YUM specifically, his 1 prior measurable sale produced a +0.3% 90-day return, indicating that prior selling has not historically preceded declines at this ticker. 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.

Significance 5/10

CEO David W Gibbs sold 7.0K shares of YUM for $1.0M at $144.00 on 2025-06-16

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. This represents a -6.4% reduction from his pre-transaction holdings of 109,925 shares. The sales occurred at $144.00 per share while the current price stands at $141.94, placing the stock at -12.7% from its 52-week high and down -4.1% over the prior 30 days. 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.

Significance 4/10

YUM CEO Gibbs sells 7,063 shares for $1,028,160.91 at $145.57; retains 157,893 shares post-sale.

David W Gibbs, Chief Executive Officer of YUM BRANDS INC, executed 2 separate sales totaling 7,063 shares for $1,028,160.91 at $145.57 on 2025-05-15, reducing his holdings from 164,956 to 157,893 shares (-4.3%). The sales occurred slightly below the current price of $147.05 and near the mid-point of the 52-week range. At the same-ticker level, Gibbs's prior 5 trades at YUM show a mixed pattern: only 1 of 1 measurable 90-day outcomes was well-timed (the 2024-12-16 sale, which preceded a +13.1% 90-day gain, making it poorly-timed for capturing upside). His more recent sales at YUM (2025-04-15 through 2025-05-15) show modest 30-day results (+0.2% and -7.6%/-7.6%/-6.6% on earlier March sales), but lack measurable 90-day outcomes. The transaction does not indicate material portfolio restructuring, as post-sale holdings remain substantial at 157,893 shares.

YUM CEO David Gibbs sold 5,139 shares at $146.70 on 2025-04-15 for $753,891.30; stock now down -11.0% from 52-week high.

David Gibbs sold 5,139 shares (5.1K shares) of YUM at $146.70, reducing his holdings from 163,032 to 157,893 shares, a -3.2% reduction. The sale occurred near the upper end of the 52-week range ($123.25–$162.53) but the stock has since declined -11.0% from its peak and is down -6.7% over the past 30 days. His prior trades at YUM show mixed timing outcomes: two measurable sales posted negative 90-day returns (-8.2% and +13.1%), with only 0 of 2 being well-timed at the 90-day mark. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +0.4% and a well-timed rate of 47.06%, indicating his sells have historically been slightly poorly-timed. The modest share reduction and continued substantial CEO holdings (157.9K shares) suggest a routine portfolio management activity rather than a loss of confidence signal.
