Reason
Morgan Stanley upgraded Yum! Brands to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $185, up from $180. The shares, which are flat year-to-date, are not giving the company full credit for its potentially improved growth going forward, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm thinks Yum trades below where it should based on its growth profile and business features versus its franchised peers peers. Morgan Stanley says the Kentucky Fried Chicken and Taco Bell story are \"relatively clean\" and offer \"leading brand exposure.\"
