Congressional activity in $YUM has been concentrated in one member for 2026. Representative Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, was the only lawmaker to trade the stock that year, making three purchases—on January 23, February 17, and April 13—followed by two sales on May 15 and May 27. Each disclosure carried a midpoint value of $1,001, consistent with the broad dollar ranges required under the STOCK Act. Khanna also traded $YUM repeatedly in 2025: a sale on November 3, a purchase on September 5, another purchase on June 23, a sale on May 19, a purchase on March 12, and a sale on January 22. Other congressional traders in 2025 included Representative Rob Bresnahan (sale, May 15), Representative Lisa Mcclain (sale, August 13; purchase, June 24), Representative Gilbert Cisneros (sale, May 30; purchase, April 29), and Senator James E. Banks (sale, February 18). All congressional dollar figures are midpoint estimates of the bracketed sums in periodic transaction reports.
$YUM finished the August 3 session at $148.80, well under the $153.15 Russell received. During the day the stock touched a high of $155.61 and a low of $148.00.
