But the modern investing techniques ask you to be a calculated risk-taker.

Yum China that started its journey with a 20B USD market cap has seen much deviation from its estimates but not in a favorable direction. The company which was founded in the year 2015 and listed as a public entity in 2016 has shown a promising vision. It already has more than 800 restaurants in its portfolio.
