The company remains on track to return US$1.5 billion to shareholders in 2026, including approximately US$400 million in dividends and US$1.1 billion in share repurchases, through a mix of systematic and discretionary buybacks.

Beginning in 2027, Yum China intends to return approximately 100% of annual free cash flow after subsidiaries' dividend payments to non-controlling interests. This is anticipated to translate into an average annual return of approximately US$900 million to over US$1 billion in 2027 and 2028, and to exceed US$1 billion in 2028.
