Investors in Yum! Brands Inc., which operates KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, might get a stronger sense of how the company's China unit is doing as earnings results are released this week.Louisville-based Yum! (NYSE: YUM) derives 40 percent of its operating profit from China, the Associated Press reported.
But it has had a hard time restarting sales growth since a media report last year said some of its chicken suppliers were administering unapproved levels of antibiotics.
The company's third-quarter report will be out after the market closes on Tuesday.
