Yum China increases share buyback to $510m for H2 2025

This is a 42% increase from the $360m planned in H1.

Yum China Holdings, Inc. has announced a $510m share repurchase program starting 1 July 2025, a 42% increase from the $360m planned for the first half of the year.

Along with its quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share, the company expects to return at least $1.2b to shareholders in 2025.

CEO Joey Wat said the company will continue balancing business growth investments with returning capital to shareholders, targeting $3b in returns from 2025 to 2026, following $1.5b returned in 2024.

The repurchase includes about $410m in the U.S. and HK$790m in Hong Kong.

Since 2017, Yum China has returned $4.8b to shareholders through dividends and buybacks.
