Kroger

Kroger is one of the largest grocery retailers in the United States with more than 2,700 stores across a portfolio of over 20 supermarket banners. The company boasts an ingrained presence in US communities, citing that it is a top-two grocer in most of its major market areas. Over one fourth of Kroger's roughly $110 billion in nonperishable and fresh food sales (about 75% of revenue) stems from its private-label portfolio, of which the company manufactures about 30% of units via its 33 food production plants. The firm also operates fuel stations and pharmacies at 60% and 80% of its locations, respectively.

Recent data from JPMorgan's exclusive survey indicates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40467624/harris-price-gouging-plan-faces-pushback-from-grocers-hurting-from-the-same-inflationary-pressure-as">that price gaps</a> between Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and competitors like Kroger Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) and Albertsons Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>) are narrowing.
Kroger has traditionally maintained higher prices than Walmart, resulting in a price premium over its competitor. However, a recent shift in pricing strategies could signal a change in the competitive landscape as companies adjust to attract increasingly price-sensitive consumers. Notably, Kroger has reported a 2% decrease in its tracked prices since June 2024, marking the most significant decline recorded since the survey began.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Price Trends, Consumer Behavior</h2>
Walmart has raised its prices by 1.7%, while Albertsons and Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFM#NYSE">SFM</a>) have increased their prices by 1.4%, which contrasts sharply with Kroger's recent price cuts. These changes highlight a shift in consumer sentiment as shoppers prioritize value.
As a result, Kroger&#8217;s price premium over Walmart has fallen to 10%, down from 13.3% in June, making it more competitive in a market where consumers are increasingly conscious of pricing. 
Meanwhile, Albertsons' prices have increased 5.8% since August 2023, potentially leading to a decline in customer loyalty and sales.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Implications For Investors</h2>
The narrowing price gaps could have significant implications for investors. 
Companies that effectively manage perishables and focus on maintaining competitive pricing may see enhanced market shares and improved earnings. 
Notably, while Kroger is cutting prices to stay competitive, Albertsons has invested heavily in perishables, resulting in a 3.2% decline in pricing for this category. SFM, conversely, saw prices rise 4.6%, which might position it differently in terms of market strategy.
As these companies prepare for upcoming earnings reports, investors should closely monitor how they adapt to inflationary pressures and changing consumer preferences. 
The insights provided by JPMorgan underscore the importance of strategic pricing in navigating the competitive grocery landscape. Investors should carefully evaluate each retailer's approach to pricing to make informed decisions.

Why Shrinking Price Differences Between Walmart, Kroger, And Albertsons Matter To Investors

Costco (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cost#NASDAQ">COST</a>) has been a big winner so far this year. Consumer staples stocks have generally had a good year, with the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (ARCA:XLP) providing a total return of 15%. However, that still lags the over 20% return of the S&amp;P 500.
Costco has particularly impressed. Its 33% total return this year surpasses its sector and the industry by a wide margin. So, what has been driving Costco&#39;s recent success, and is there still room for this stock to run?
<h2>Breaking Down Costco&#39;s Revenue Streams</h2>
Most everyone knows about Costco&#39;s business model. The company buys and sells items in massive bulk quantities, allowing it to give customers volume discounts. Particularly for large families, this makes Costco an attractive place to buy groceries.
On top of selling goods, the company also charges annual fees that allow its members to shop at the store. However, these fees make up a small amount of the company&#39;s revenue, at around 2% of the total. Food makes up the majority of the company&#39;s revenue at 53% in 2023, followed by non-food goods like appliances and electronics at 25%.
The last 20% comes from its &quot;warehouse ancillary and other business&quot; segment. This includes things like gasoline, pharmacy, and food court sales. It derives revenue primarily from the United States, which made up 73% of total revenue by geography in 2023.
<h2>Costco is Beating the Competition in Core Sales Growth</h2>
One of the biggest reasons for Costco&#39;s strong returns this year has to be the company&#39;s comparable store sales growth. This measurement excludes sales from newer stores, as opening a new store is an easy way to boost sales. Looking at this figure shows a more sustainable measurement of the company&#39;s ability to increase revenue.
In comparison to its rivals, Costco is winning on this front in 2024. Target (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tgt#NYSE">TGT</a>) has overall seen a sizable decline in same-store sales this year, and Kroger (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kr#NYSE">KR</a>) has managed to achieve just slightly positive growth. Walmart (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wmt#NYSE">WMT</a>) is doing well, with low double-digit growth. However, Costco&#39;s mid-teens growth is the strongest of these firms, and growth has especially picked up in the last two quarters. However, Costco&#39;s stock price has only risen slightly since mid-Aug., while Walmart&#39;s is up another 20%.
Walmart&#39;s 52% price appreciation this year leads the group. Part of this divergence may be the fact that Walmart has increased its margins in a much stronger way amid its sales growth. The firm improved operating margin and gross margin by 45 basis points and 30 basis points last quarter, respectively. Those increases for Costco were just 7 and 13 basis points.
<h2>Analysts are Mixed On Costco, but Aren&#39;t Signaling Near-Term Concern</h2>
Looking at analyst ratings and price targets on Costco, the views are mixed. Its 23 buy ratings outpace its 13 hold and one sell rating, but the average price target isn&#39;t all that inspiring. The figure indicates just around 6% implied upside in the stock, a number that suggests the company is within the fairly valued range at this point.
However, it&#39;s interesting to note that at least 10 Wall Street analysts raised their price targets after the company&#39;s Sept. 27 earnings report, and none appear to have lowered their target. Yet, shares are down 3% since the release as the company missed on sales growth estimates. This comes despite knowledge that the dockworkers&#39; strike was imminent and has now begun. These signals analysts aren&#39;t too worried about the strike having a negative impact on the company.
Overall, Costco remains a company with strong fundamentals that has shown it can thrive while some of its competitors face slow or declining growth. Its membership-based business model keeps customers coming back, and the firm should be able to realize benefits from its increased membership prices in late 2025.
Another plus for Costco is that it can significantly grow its e-commerce business. E-commerce makes up a smaller portion of the company&#39;s business compared to Walmart. The e-commerce part of the business is growing at a solid rate of around 20% over the last two quarters.
What will happen in the short term for the company is hard to predict but estimates of earnings growth over the mid-term are strong. Over the next five years, analysts expect the company to grow adjusted earnings per share by over 10% annually.

&nbsp;The Kroger Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) (the "Company" or "Kroger") announced today that it has extended the expiration date of the previously announced offers to exchange (the "Exchange Offers") any and all outstanding notes (the "ACI Notes") of Albertsons Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>) ("ACI"), New Albertsons, L.P., Safeway Inc., Albertson's LLC, Albertsons Safeway LLC and American Stores Company, LLC, as applicable, for up to $7,441,608,000 aggregate principal amount of new notes to be issued by the Company (the "Kroger Notes") and cash. Additionally, Kroger announced today that it has extended the expiration date for the related solicitations of consents (collectively, the "Consent Solicitations") to adopt certain proposed amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to the indentures (collectively, the "ACI Indentures") governing the ACI Notes, solely with respect to the Unconsented Series (as defined in the Company's press release issued on September 11, 2024). The Company hereby extends such expiration date from 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 9, 2024 to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 16, 2024 (as the same may be further extended, the "Expiration Date").
&nbsp;
As of August 29, 2024, the requisite number of consents were received to adopt the Proposed Amendments with respect to the Consented Series (as defined in the Company's press release issued on September 11, 2024), and the relevant parties had executed supplemental indentures to the applicable ACI Indentures implementing the Proposed Amendments. The Proposed Amendments will only become operative upon the settlement of the Exchange Offers, which is expected to occur promptly after the Expiration Date.
Tenders of ACI Notes made pursuant to the Exchange Offers (but not consents delivered pursuant to the Consent Solicitations) may be validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Date.

When word got around that Spirit Airlines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>) was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41182466">considering a bankruptcy</a> filing, critics quickly took to social media to blame the Biden administration. 
Why? Recall how, in January, U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36648448/jetblue-spirit-airlines-merger-blocked-spirit-shares-tumble">antitrust regulators successfully blocked</a> JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) from buying Spirit for $3.8 billion. Indeed, over the past four years, regulators <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40693260/kroger-albertsons-merger-in-ftc-crosshairs-customers-competitors-at-risk">often hold up</a> M&amp;A activity they consider anti-competitive, such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/22/10/29266605/kroger-albertsons-finally-seal-the-rumored-merger-deal-see-highlights">the $25 billion merger</a> between Kroger Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) and Alberstons Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>).
The JetBlue/Spirit scenario was no different. Fast-forward to this week: The <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/spirit-airlines-in-talks-with-bondholders-over-terms-of-potential-bankruptcy-filing-fdd23fae">Wall Street Journal</a> reported Spirit is in talks with bondholders and creditors to see if a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the best option for the troubled carrier.

The JetBlue deal would have saved jobs and the airline, observers argued. It&#8217;s worth noting Spirit&#8217;s problems stem from having to ground several Airbus planes due to turbofan engine problems.
Bank of America Securities analysts noted in January that Spirit&#8217;s ongoing engine repairs hurt &#8220;the traditional ultra-low cost business model.&#8221;
Dania Beach, Florida-based Spirit also attributed its financial struggles to an &#8220;intense competitive battle&#8221; for price-sensitive leisure travelers, as well as an oversupply of airline seats in the domestic market.
&#8220;You can think [sic] Biden and his FTC crew for this. Way to go Joe!&#8221; a social media user posted.
Precedent shows that a deal with JetBlue wouldn&#8217;t have been a safety net for Spirit as most major airline mergers lead to job losses, regardless of whether the target is a distressed asset.

The scale and impact can vary depending on several factors such as the size of the merger. Here are a few examples of job losses from major mergers:
<ul>
<li>American Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) and US Airways: After the 2013 merger, there were several thousand job losses. Estimates ranged from 1,500 to 3,000 positions cut. </li>
<li>United Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and Continental Airlines: The 2010 merger resulted in the elimination of roughly 1,500 to 2,000 job losses. These cuts were primarily due to redundant corporate and administrative positions. </li>
<li>Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and Northwest Airlines: While the 2008 merger helped the combined airline grow, but also led to an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 job losses.</li>
</ul>
Airline mergers often lead to route and capacity optimization, reducing staffing needs in less profitable areas. Cost synergies, like lowering fuel and labor costs, can prompt additional cuts as well. Fleet consolidation may phase out older aircraft, affecting technical staff.
Union agreements and labor contracts might also lead to layoffs as the merged airline harmonizes pay and benefits across the workforce.
While not all mergers result in severe job losses, neither do bankruptcies. Jobs can sometimes be saved when a company files for Chapter 11, since the process allows a company to reorganize its debts and operations while continuing to operate, giving it a chance to become financially viable. 
During this process, the company may restructure contracts, renegotiate with creditors and streamline operations, which can help preserve jobs that would otherwise be lost in a complete liquidation. While layoffs may occur, Chapter 11 provides more opportunities for the business to recover and protect a portion of its workforce.
Spirit&#8217;s debt load hovers around $3.3 billion, per the Wall Street Journal.
Recent airline bankruptcies include Virgin America and Monarch Airlines, both in 2017; WOW Air in 2019; and LATAM Airlines Group SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTM#NYSE">LTM</a>) in 2020. LATAM emerged from bankruptcy in 2022 stronger and is now larger and leaner, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41123208/latam-airlines-earnings-will-remain-higher-for-longer-says-bullish-analyst">according to Morgan Stanley analysts</a>.
What&#8217;s Next: It remains to be seen whether Spirit will follow through with bankruptcy. At last check Friday, Spirit stock is trading 26.28% lower at $1.66, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The stock has lost more than 85% of its value in 2024.

Kroger Extends Exchange Offers And Consent Solicitations For Albertsons Companies For Up To $7,441,608,000 Aggregate Principal Amount Of New Notes And Cash; Extends Expiration Date From Sept. 23 To Sept. 27

Kroger Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) and Albertsons Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>) shares closed lower Tuesday after lawyers for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) gave closing arguments in a hearing to temporarily block the proposed merger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40693260/kroger-albertsons-merger-in-ftc-crosshairs-customers-competitors-at-risk">between the two companies.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: The three-week-long U.S. District Court hearing ended on Tuesday. The FTC urged Judge Adrienne Nelson to issue a preliminary injunction to block the merger while its complaint goes before an in-house administrative law judge on Oct.1.

The proposed $24.6 billion deal would be the largest supermarket merger in U.S. history, if it goes through. Kroger and Albertsons argue the merger would allow them to lower prices for consumers, boost union jobs and compete with retail giants like Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).&nbsp;
According to a Reuters report, the FTC's chief trial counsel Susan Musser argued Tuesday that Kroger and Albertsons primarily compete with each other, rather than Amazon or Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>), as well, and the merger would eliminate competition, leading to higher food prices for customers. 
"It's this local competition, in these local communities, that this merger will eliminate," Musser said.
KR, ACI Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Kroger shares ended Tuesday's session 2.13% lower at $55.04 and Albertsons shares closed 1.75% lower at $18.54.&nbsp;

Kroger, Albertsons Shares Dip After FTC Gives Closing Arguments In Hearing To Block Merger

Content creators MrBeast, Logan Paul and KSI have teamed up on a new food company called Lunchly that is taking on the well-known<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/08/33960652/kraft-heinz-plans-to-offer-lunchables-to-school-cafeterias-sees-multi-billion-opportunity-report"> ready-to-eat Lunchables brand.</a>
What Happened: Food giant Kraft Heinz Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NYSE">KHC</a>) may<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36680301/this-warren-buffett-favorite-just-made-a-golden-cross-bullish-signals-on-the-horizon"> have trouble ahead</a> for its Lunchables brand with Lunchly now in direct competition.
Lunchly was launched with the "goal of revolutionizing lunch" and providing a focus on quality ingredients, delicious flavors and healthier options for the grab-and-go lunch sector, the creators said.
There are three <a href="https://lunchly.com/">Lunchly </a>meal options at launch: Turkey Stack ‘Ems, Pizza and Fiesta Nachos. Each meal comes with a PRIME hydration drink and a Feastables bar. PRIME was launched in 2022 by Paul and KSI; Feastables was also launched that same year by MrBeast.
Paul said Lunchables has dominated the lunch grab-and-go market for years and Lunchly will provide a "better option" for people looking for convenience and healthy options.
Lunchly products will hit stores later this month. A search on the company's website showed Kroger Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) locations as stores that will carry the products.
MrBeast said Lunchly will provide healthier and "better-tasting options.
"Lunchly is all about giving kids a fun, grab-and-go meal that's not just delicious, but also good for them. We're here to change what lunchtime looks like for the next generation," MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, said.

</ul>
Why It's Important: With three of the most widely followed names in content creation and people popular with the younger generation today, Lunchly could present a major challenge to Lunchables.
The news also comes at a bad time for Lunchables, which said in August that it was ready to offer Lunchables in school cafeterias with a potential $25 billion opportunity.

Existing distribution deals that Feastables and PRIME have in place could help the company quickly land in retailers globally.
Bad news for Lunchables could also be bad news for billionaire Warren Buffett.

Kroger's (KR) $25 billion merger with Albertsons (ACI) is in limbo as federal regulators and states push to block the deal over concerns of higher prices and reduced competition. As the legal battle heats up, the company is fighting to prove the merger's benefits for shoppers. In this article, we'll explore whether KR is a buy or sell amid this high-stakes merger drama. Keep reading… The Kroger Co. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/KR/">KR</a>), one of the largest grocery retailers in the U.S., is currently <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/02/ftc-challenges-krogers-acquisition-albertsons">facing legal challenges</a> as it moves forward with its $25 billion merger with Albertsons Companies, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ACI/">ACI</a>). This high-profile merger, announced in October 2022, is now under scrutiny in a federal hearing in Portland, Oregon, as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and several states push back with an antitrust lawsuit.
The FTC argues that the merger could stifle competition, potentially leading to higher prices for everyday essentials like groceries, along with reduced product quality and fewer options for consumers. Further, FTC's Bureau of Competition Director Henry Liu added, "Essential grocery store workers would also suffer under this deal, facing the threat of their wages dwindling, benefits diminishing, and their working conditions deteriorating."
This sentiment is echoed by many critics, including union supporters, who recently <a href="https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/grocery-store-unions-against-kroger-albertsons-merger/73-43d3956c-0e03-48fb-ba15-67ccff006d92">rallied</a> against the merger in Denver. Grocery workers and farmers expressed concerns that the deal would only benefit corporations, leaving workers and the supply chain at risk. Some worry that a merger of this scale could result in devastating consequences for employees, farmers, and consumers, who might face higher costs at the checkout line.
On the other hand, KR and ACI maintain that the merger will help them better compete with retail giants like Walmart Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/WMT/">WMT</a>), Costco Wholesale Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/COST/">COST</a>), and Amazon.com, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AMZN/">AMZN</a>), ultimately benefiting consumers through lower prices.
While the courtroom drama continues, some industry analysts raise another critical point. They argue that the time KR has spent pursuing this merger could have been better spent improving its competitiveness in other ways. According to <a href="https://www.grocerydive.com/news/kroger-albertsons-merger-ftc-trial-analysis-grocery-superrmarket/726195/">Halliday</a>, if the merger is blocked, the company might face a strategic dilemma, as it has relied heavily on acquisitions to fuel its growth.
Despite the challenges, shares of KR have gained 10.1% over the past month and 24.4% over the past year, closing the last trading session at $55.89. So, as the merger battle continues to unfold, investors must weigh the potential long-term growth opportunities against the immediate legal and operational risks Kroger faces.
Here are the financial aspects of KR that could influence its price performance in the near term:
Strong Financials
KR's sales for the fiscal second quarter (ended August 17, 2024) remained nearly flat year-over-year at $33.91 billion, while its identical sales without fuel increased 1.2% year-over-year. Its operating profit amounted to $815 million compared to a year-ago loss of $479 million.
Similarly, the company's net earnings attributable to KR amounted to $466 million or $0.64 per common share versus a net loss of $180 million or $0.25 per share, respectively, in the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, Kroger's performance was even stronger. The adjusted FIFO operating profit amounted to $984 million, and adjusted <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/eps.asp">EPS</a> stood at $0.93.
Looking ahead to 2024, Kroger remains cautiously optimistic, with identical sales without fuel anticipated to grow between 0.75% and 1.75%. Adjusted FIFO operating profit is projected to be between $4.6 billion and $4.8 billion, while adjusted net earnings per diluted share are expected to range from $4.30 to $4.50.
These projections underscore the company's confidence in its strategic direction and operational efficiency, emphasizing its focus on sustainable growth and operational excellence.
Mixed Analyst Estimates
Analysts expect KR's EPS to increase 2.9% year-over-year to $0.98 for the third quarter ending October 2024. Also, its revenue for the current quarter is expected to grow marginally from the prior year's value to $34.22 billion.
However, KR's revenue and EPS for the current year (ending January 2025) are expected to decline 0.6% and 6.7% year-over-year to $149.16 billion and $4.44, respectively.
Nonetheless, for the fiscal year ending January 2026, KR's revenue is expected to increase 1.9% year-over-year to $152.02 billion. The company is estimated to post an earnings per share of $4.56 next year, indicating a 2.7% improvement from the prior year.
Discounted Valuation
In terms of forward non-GAAP P/E, KR is trading at 12.59x, 28.5% lower than the industry average of 17.61x. Likewise, its forward EV/Sales multiple of 0.38 is 78% lower than the industry average of 1.74x. In addition, the stock's forward EV/EBITDA of 7.28x is 33.2% lower than the 10.90x industry average. Also, its forward Price/Sales multiple of 0.27 compares to the industry average of 1.37.
High Profitability
KR's trailing-12-month ROCE of 23.97% is 129.1% higher than the 10.46% industry average. The stock's 9.71% trailing-12-month ROTC is 41.5% above the 6.86% industry average. Further, its trailing-12-month asset turnover ratio of 2.96x compares to the industry average of 0.84x.
POWR Ratings Exhibit Solid Prospects
KR's strong fundamentals are reflected in its <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a>. The stock has an overall rating of B, translating to a Strong Buy in our proprietary rating system.

Bottom Line
Despite the legal challenges of its proposed merger, KR's financials remain robust. The company continues to demonstrate strong profitability, backed by steady operational growth and healthy margins. Moreover, its resilient business model has consistently delivered sustainable returns, even in challenging economic conditions.
On September 19, the company declared a quarterly dividend of <a href="https://ir.kroger.com/news/news-details/2024/Krogers-Board-of-Directors-Declares-Quarterly-Dividend-6c2bd6fe2/default.aspx">32 cents per share</a>, continuing its 16-year streak of dividend growth. The current dividend of $1.28 per share yields 2.29%, above its four-year average of 2.01%. Also, its payouts have grown at impressive CAGRs of 16.6% and 15.5% over the past three and five years, respectively.
Further, the stock is currently trading at a discounted valuation, which makes it an attractive option for investors seeking value in the grocery retail sector. While the merger's outcome remains uncertain, KR's long-term growth potential and ability to compete with industry giants make it a strong buy for investors seeking upside amid uncertainty.
