1239 ET - Taco Bell remains the crown jewel in Yum! Brands' portfolio, with potential for better-than-expected same store sales growth in the next few years, according to TD Securities in a note. The analysts forecast Taco Bell's same-store sales will grow an average of 4.5% over 2026 through 2030, outpacing consensus estimates of about 3.6%, as the brand's edgy marketing, new menu items and value resonate with consumers despite a tough industry backdrop, they say. Taco Bell could also have more upside opportunity in the long term as it expands into the high-growth coffee and energy space, they say. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
