Yum China Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: YUMC) witnessed a slight dip in its stock value, experiencing a 1.59% decrease to settle at $45.18 at the close of Wednesday's trading session. This marginal shift in YUMC shares was influenced by a recent insider transaction that unfolded within the company.
百胜中国控股有限公司（纽约证券交易所代码：YUMC）的股票价值小幅下跌，在周三交易时段收盘时下跌1.59％，收于45.18美元。YUMC股价的这种微弱变化受到公司内部最近发生的内幕交易的影响。
Joey Wat, serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Yum China (YUMC), took a strategic step by acquiring 14,000 shares of YUMC. The transaction, executed at a per-share price of $46.26, amounted to a significant investment of $647,615. As a result, Wat's ownership stake in the company surged to 269,144 shares, reinforcing confidence in the company's trajectory.
担任百胜中国（YUMC）首席执行官的乔伊·沃特采取了战略步骤，收购了YUMC的14,000股股份。该交易以每股46.26美元的价格执行，相当于647,615美元的巨额投资。结果，Wat在该公司的所有权激增至269,144股，增强了人们对公司发展轨迹的信心。
In a significant development, Yum China unveiled its entry into share repurchase agreements in both the United States and Hong Kong, totaling $750 million by 2024. As per the guidelines of the United States Securities Exchange, the U.S. segment of these agreements encompasses approximately $600 million. Concurrently, an equivalent program in Hong Kong involves around HK$1.2 billion.
一项重大进展是，百胜中国宣布在美国和香港签订股票回购协议，到2024年总额为7.5亿美元。根据美国证券交易所的指导方针，这些协议的美国部分包括约6亿美元。同时，香港的同等计划涉及约12亿港元。
YUMC proactively secured a waiver from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to ensure equal access to the repurchase programs for all shareholders, regardless of the exchange on which their shares are traded. These agreements align with the share repurchase authorization proclaimed by the Company's board of directors on November 2, 2023.
YUMC主动获得香港证券交易所的豁免，以确保所有股东都能平等地参与回购计划，无论其股票在哪个交易所交易。这些协议与公司董事会于2023年11月2日宣布的股票回购授权一致。
The share repurchase programs, in conjunction with dividend distributions, spotlight Yum China's steadfast dedication to returning capital to its shareholders. This commitment aligns with the company's comprehensive strategy for fund distribution, unveiled on Investor Day in September. The plan outlines the ambition of returning $3 billion to investors through dividends and share buybacks from 2024 to 2026.
股票回购计划与股息分配相结合，凸显了百胜中国对向股东返还资本的坚定承诺。该承诺符合该公司在9月投资者日公布的全面基金分配战略。该计划概述了从2024年到2026年通过分红和股票回购向投资者返还30亿美元的雄心。
Over the past three years, YUMC has bolstered its resilience, fortified its competitive standing, and laid a robust foundation for future expansion. By balancing operational needs and investing for long-term growth, YUMC is positioned to return capital to shareholders through its strong balance sheet and cash flow generation capabilities.
