Better Buy: Beyond Meat vs. Yum! Brands
Now that fried chicken chain KFC is developing lab-grown chicken nuggets to test-market in the fall, comparing parent Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM) to beef substitute maker Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) is a natural match up. Do you prefer your meat grown in a laboratory or as a mix of pea and mung bean protein?
All kidding aside, there are valid reasons to pit one against the other as an investment, as they are both trades on the restaurant industry, albeit from different angles. With Yum! Brands, you're betting on it continuing to grow sales at KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, while with Beyond Meat you're counting on it introducing its meat alternatives into more restaurants and grocery stores.
Let's see which stock would be the better buy.
