Negative
  • Director Brian C. Cornell sold 100 % of exercised shares, reducing direct ownership to zero, which can be interpreted as a lack of ongoing insider confidence.

Insights

TL;DR: Director exercised options then sold all resulting shares, reducing ownership to zero—generally a mildly negative signal.

The simultaneous option exercise and full liquidation at ~$140 suggests the director chose to monetize gains rather than retain exposure, despite a low option strike (<$58). While insider sales can be driven by diversification or tax, the total exit removes alignment between this director and shareholders. Trade size (�$430k gross sale proceeds) is modest relative to YUM’s market cap, so market impact should be limited.
