Happy colonel

Yum Brands Inc., parent company of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC, reported strong sales in the third-quarter, led by KFC. 

Net income from continuing operations nearly doubled to $418 million, or $1.18 per share, helped by the better-than-expected restaurant sales, cost controls and a lower effective tax rate, Reuters reported.
