NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. reported a downward shift in its third-quarter earnings for 2026, driven by added costs from new ownership stakes and elevated depreciation and interest expenses. Despite steady operations, the company’s net income fell significantly compared to the same period in 2025.

Yum Brands, parent company of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, reported mixed first-quarter results with earnings surpassing expectations while revenue missed forecasts. The decline in Pizza Hut’s same-store sales contributed to the revenue shortfall.
