Analyst projections of the future price of Kroger stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Adjusted e-commerce sales grew 20% in the second quarter, and Kroger’s e-commerce business was profitable for a second consecutive quarter. Retail-media profit rose 24%, giving the company a fast-growing digital channel with improving economics. (The Kroger Co.)
Kroger’s own-brand sales outpaced national brands in the second quarter, with penetration up about half a percentage point and Private Selection sales up more than 14%. This suggests its value and premium ranges are resonating with shoppers. (Grocery Dive)
Kroger targets 7%–11% annual adjusted EPS growth through 2029, alongside about 3% comparable-sales growth in 2029 excluding fuel and pharmacy. Its plan to fund customer investment through savings offers a route to growth if management delivers. (The Kroger Co.)
Second-quarter identical sales rose just 0.2%, and Kroger cut its full-year forecast from 1%–2% growth to 0.2%–0.8%. The downgrade points to weak demand and continuing pressure on sales. (Reuters)
Numerator estimates that shoppers shifted more than $12 billion in consumer-goods spending from Kroger to Amazon, Walmart and Costco over the past year. That signals a real risk to Kroger’s market share and customer spending. (Supermarket News)
Albertsons is seeking more than $9.3 billion in damages over the failed merger, and the case went to trial in Delaware in October. An adverse ruling could leave Kroger with a substantial liability. (Bloomberg Law)
