Taco Bell continued to impress with a solid quarter of 6% sales growth, which was stronger than the 4.5% sales growth anticipated by Wall Street. Pizza Hut's same-store sales remained unchanged. However, analysts were expecting a sales decline of 0.2%. "I am very proud of what we have been able to accomplish in just two short years since we announced the transformation of Yum!." CEO Greg Creed said in a statement. "Focus on our four growth drivers, increased collaboration and a new mindset are fueling strong results."
