Jefferies analyst Kevin Grundy says his analysis suggests a 60% correlation between Estee Lauder's (EL) sales in China and Yum! Brands' (YUM) same-store-sales. Yum!'s weak China results last night "should not be easily dismissed" and may be a "bard harbinger" for Estee Lauder's quarter, Grundy tells investors in a research note. He keeps a Hold rating on Estee Lauder with Yum! shares down 18% after its weaker than expected Q3 results.
