Top 20 Falling Stocks with Unusual Volume

13. Yum China Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:YUMC)

Yum China Holdings, Inc. operates, franchises, and owns restaurants in the People’s Republic of China. It operates in Pizza Hut, KFC, and All Other segments. The company operates restaurants under the Lavazza, KFC, Taco Bell, Little Sheep, Pizza Hut, and Huang Ji Huang concepts. The stock is down 7.70% in a week on a relative volume of 2.04.

The company’s 2025 plans are interesting. It plans to open 1,600 to 1,800 new stores, aiming for a total of 20,000 stores by the end of 2026. This expansion strategy will target smaller cities and strategic locations, utilizing the success of KFC’s small-town mini model and Pizza Hut’s WOW formats. Commodity prices are anticipated to remain reasonable. However, the company is expected to face headwinds from an increasing delivery mix, wage inflation, and tariffs.

The firm is expected to face challenges due to the potential trade war with the US. As China relies heavily on the US market, with over 13% of exports in 2024 to the US, the trade war could impact different industries, government revenues, and the government’s ability to maintain fiscal stimulus measures. YUMC is no different, so investors would need to track the progress on tariffs if they want to initiate a position in the stock.
