Yum Brands in exclusive talks to sell Pizza Hut to LongRange Capital, source says

Yum Brands is reportedly in exclusive talks with private-equity firm LongRange Capital for a potential sale of its Pizza Hut chain. This move comes as the fast-food industry faces sustained demand weakness, rising inflation, and declining consumer sentiment. Pizza Hut has struggled to keep pace with other Yum Brands units, with U.S. comparable sales declining for ten consecutive quarters.
