While the company has Kentucky in its name, its not the first brand to be headquartered in a different state.
What Happened: Kentucky Fried Chicken, which was founded by Harland Sanders (aka Colonel Sanders) in the 1930s, will soon call Texas home. It joins several other companies moving their headquarters to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39804744/spacex-x-to-move-headquarters-from-california-to-texas-musk-calls-it-the-final-straw-criticizes-gov"> the southern state.</a>
Yum Brands announced the move in February. The company will have two brand headquarters in the U.S., one located in Plano, Texas, and the other in Irvine, California.
Kentucky Fried Chicken U.S. and Pizza Hut global headquarters will be located in Plano, Texas. KFC US is currently headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. KFC US corporate office employees in Kentucky and remote workers are being asked to move to Texas.
Taco Bell and Habit Burger &amp; Grill will be headquartered in Irvine, California. The KFC Foundation and Yum Brands corporate offices will remain in Louisville, Kentucky as part of the transition.
"These changes position us for sustainable growth and will help us better serve our customers, employees, franchisees and shareholders," Yum Brands CEO David Gibbs <a href="https://www.yum.com/wps/portal/yumbrands/Yumbrands/news/!ut/p/z1/jY9BC4JAFIR_SwevvmeiLt1ECFPJ9iDaXkJjWw11RTf9-0l1EUp6t3l8M8MAgwxYm4-VyFUl27ye9ZnZF0LDrY8xHkniWUi3RniI9o6BiQHpC8Af5yKwf_wrAFuPT4EtK2IS20g9z_QD6pjkZH-AlYwAmKhl8Z7rtoVJBLCe33jPe_3Rz-9SqW7YaajhNE26kFLUXL_KRsNvllIOCrIlCV2TZHi36jFyN0_Y713h/?urile=wcm:oid:54d63edb-2d60-4482-9134-ba1e69af9aac">said</a>. "Ultimately, bringing more of our people together on a consistent basis will maximize our unrivaled culture and talent as a competitive advantage. I'm confident this is another important step in growing our iconic restaurant brands globally."
Yum Brands has over 61,000 restaurants around the world in more than 155 countries with its various brands. The company has over 30,000 KFC locations in 150 countries, including 4,149 <a href="https://locations.kfc.com/">locations </a>in the United States.
The restaurant brand has 114 locations in Kentucky, which ranks 11th of the states. With 324 locations, Texas ranks second for KFC trailing only California (438).
Sanders <a href="https://global.kfc.com/our-history">ran </a>service stations in Nicholasville and Corbin, Kentucky and served his fried chicken to &nbsp;travelers using his secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices. The Corbin location is the company's original and in 1952 the first KFC franchise location was opened in Salt Lake City, Utah.

전설적인 투자자 워런 버핏은 보유 애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) 지분의 상당한 감소를 포함하여 2분기에 버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)의 상당한 주식 매각을 공개했다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 버핏의 회사는 지난 수요일 미국 증권거래위원회(SEC)에 제출한 최신 자료에 따르면 2분기에 3억 8,900만 주가 넘는 애플 주식을 매각했다고 한다. 이 매각에도 불구하고 버크셔 해서웨이는 여전히 애플 주식 4억 주를 보유하고 있다.
버핏이 애플 주식의 상당 부분을 매도했다는 소식은 이달 초 버크셔의 실적 보고서에서 공개됐지만, 매도된 주식의 정확한 수는 수요일에야 밝혀졌다.
버크셔 해서웨이는 애플 외에도 뱅크 오브 아메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), 쉐브론(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), 캐피털 원 파이낸셜(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>), 플로어 앤 데코 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FND#NYSE">FND</a>), T-모바일 US(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) 및 루이지애나-퍼시픽(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPX#NYSE">LPX</a>)에 대한 투자도 줄였다.
이 회사는 처브(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>)의 지분을 27,033,784주로, 옥시덴탈 페트롤리움(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>)의 지분을 255,281,524주로 늘렸다. 또한 신규 투자로 항공우주 부품 제조업체 하이코(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HEI#NYSE">HEI</a>)의 1,044,242주와 화장품 소매업체 울타 뷰티(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>)의 690,106주를 매수했다.
테슬라의 CEO인 일론 머스크는 버크셔 해서웨이의 2,770억 달러의 현금 보유액에 대해 언급하면서, 이 대기업의 지분 매각이 폭로된 후 T-bill(만기 1년 이하의 초단기 국채) 수익이 감소함에 따라 변화를 예측했다. 머스크는 "2,770억 달러의 현금 보유액은 어마어마하다. 국채 수익률이 떨어지면 상황이 바뀔 것이다."
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
$277B cash reserves is wild. 
That will change as the T-bill return drops.

왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 버핏의 투자 결정은 그의 놀라운 실적 덕분에 항상 면밀히 관찰되었다. 이러한 최근 움직임은 버크셔 해서웨이의 주가가 애플의 대규모 지분으로 인해 일년 내내 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40317667/berkshire-hathaway-stock-up-19-so-far-in-2024-how-it-stacks-up-against-warren-buffetts-averages" target="_blank" rel="noopener">더 넓은 주식 시장을 뒤쫓았음</a>에도 불구하고 현재까지 20% 이상 상승한 시점에 이루어졌다.
8월 초, 버크셔가 애플 주식의 거의 절반을 매각하기로 한 버핏의 결정은 일론 머스크에게는 임박한 시장 조정의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40152088/elon-musk-says-warren-buffett-is-clearly-expecting-a-correction-after-berkshire-sold-nearly-half-of">징후</a>로 보였다.
글로벌 시장 변동성은 또한 버핏의 투자를 시험했다. 상당한 초기 급락에도 불구하고 버크셔는 일본의 종합 상사들에 200억 달러를 투자하여 손실의 대부분을 회복했다. 일본의 금리 인상으로 촉발된 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40306868/global-market-turmoil-tests-warren-buffetts-japanese-investments-despite-initial-30-plunge-berkshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">글로벌 시장 혼란</a>은 이러한 투자에 제한적인 영향을 미쳤다.
버핏의 최근 주식 매각으로 인해 버크셔의 현금 보유고는 기록적인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40146436/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-q2-operating-profit-climbs-over-15-cash-hoard-swells-to-277b-">2,770억 달러로 급증</a>했다. 이러한 현금 보유고 증가는 이 회사의 2분기 순이익이 전년 동기 대비 15.5% 감소했음에도 불구하고 이루어졌다. 이는 주로 불안정한 시장 상황으로 인한 투자 이익 감소로 인한 것이다.
주가 움직임: 버크셔 해서웨이의 클래스 A 주식은 수요일 1.24%의 상승한 657,122.00달러로 마감되었다. 올해 들어 현재까지 19.52% 상승했다. 한편, 버크셔 해서웨이의 클래스 B 주식은 같은 날 1.40% 오른 438.47달러에 마감됐다. 시간외 거래에서는 0.14% 상승했다. <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>의 데이터에 따르면 올해 현재까지 주가는 20.97% 상승했다.
