Yum China (YUMC, Financial) saw its stock decline by 2.97% to $45.44 in pre-market trading. Analysts attribute this drop to concerns following the recent National Day holiday peak. As the season changes, there are no upcoming holidays to boost consumer spending, and colder weather is approaching. This cyclical downturn in the dining industry is a familiar pattern, occurring every year. However, due to intense competition within the sector, businesses are more worried about the impact of the slow season on their sales this year.
