Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM), PT $54.

Barclays analyst says, "2Q11 EPS was in line, excluding a tax benefit. And similar to 1Q, significant comp and profit upside in China was offset by downside in the US, while YRI was in line. But an 18% China comp (along with likely benefit from a 53rd week), gives management comfort to raise 2011 EPS guidance."
