Yum! Brands recently sold its Pizza Hut division and CEO Christopher Lee Turner sold shares amid legal scrutiny. The company is under investigation by Pomerantz LLP for possible securities fraud following a food safety crisis linked to a cyclosporiasis outbreak at Taco Bell, which caused two deaths. This crisis triggered a stock price drop and ongoing legal concerns for investors. Yum! Brands currently trades around $152 per share with a market cap near $42 billion.
