Yum Brands's short percent of float has risen 7.69% since its last report, with 5.10 million shares sold short, which is 1.82% of all regular shares available for trading. This increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish. However, Yum Brands's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.48%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
