Believe It! Pizza Hut's Falling Faster Than I Did During My Academy Entrance Exam!

Dattebayo! Numbers Go Up Numbers Go Down!

Alright listen up! Naruto Uzumaki here reporting live from... well my apartment because ramen's cheaper than a press conference! Anyway Yum Brands you know the guys who bring us deliciousness like Taco Bell and… Pizza Hut had their quarterly report. Apparently things are a bit like my early ninja days – some good some… not so good believe it! They made $1.79 billion in revenue but Wall Street thought they'd make even more. It's like trying to summon Gamabunta but only getting a tadpole! Close but no giant toad.

Taco Bell's Rasengan of Flavor!

But here's the kicker! Taco Bell? Boom! Exploding with flavor like my Rasengan! Their same store sales grew by 9%! That's like Kakashi sensei level growth dattebayo! Everyone's craving those tacos and burritos it seems. They are carrying the team on their back like I carried the Shinobi world believe it!

KFC's Shadow Clone Sales!

KFC also did okay their sales went up 2% ! Not bad not bad but not quite Hokage material yet! Most of their love comes from outside the U.S just like how I had to leave the village to train with Pervy Sage. It's all about growth right? Even if it takes a while you gotta keep at it just like mastering the Rasengan!

Pizza Hut's Chidori of Disappointment!

Now for the sad part. Pizza Hut… oh man it's like watching Sakura chan try to catch up to Sasuke. They’re struggling! Their sales went down by 2% and in the U.S. it's even worse down 5%! Ouch! That's gotta sting more than one of Sakura's punches! Guess they need to find their own ninja way to spice things up dattebayo!

Digital Jutsu is Strong!

On the bright side digital orders are like the Flying Raijin Jutsu – super convenient! 55% of all Yum Brands sales are from online orders and kiosks. That's a lot of people ordering from their couches! Maybe Pizza Hut needs to focus on their online game because the world is moving fast like Minato sensei. I still prefer ramen though.

A Change in Hokage... I Mean CEO!

And last but not least the CEO David Gibbs is stepping down in 2026. It's like the Hokage retiring! Big shoes to fill believe it! Hopefully they'll find someone who can lead Yum Brands to even greater heights just like I became the greatest Hokage ever! And that's the news folks! Stay awesome and never give up dattebayo! Even if your Pizza Hut is failing!
