Kroger Co. (KR-N) is poised for an interesting financial report this Thursday, as expectations suggest that the company might rally on positive earnings numbers. The company has showcased its ability to maintain prices for consumers despite market challenges, which has led to some optimism among analysts. However, there is a contrasting perspective as well; some experts indicate that the stock is currently experiencing difficulties, hinting at a potential rolling over. They recommend a cautious approach, suggesting that while it may be worth purchasing a small amount of shares now, waiting for a price point around $60 could be a wiser strategy. This creates a divide in sentiment surrounding the stock, highlighting a mix of optimism regarding its operational performance and caution about its current market behavior.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

EPS of 93c beat estimates of 91c; revenue of $33.91B marginally missed estimates. Kroger appears well-positioned to navigate an increasingly complex consumer-spending environment. Mainstream households led sales growth in fiscal 2Q amid loyal households and increased visits, a trend that could extend in 3Q, aiding same-store sales gains. Volume expansion appears to be slowly improving, buoyed by strategic promotions. Private-label product sales growth outpaced that of national brands, helping bolster gross margin, which the company believes will expand slightly for the full year, yet might be flat in 3Q. Kroger indicated adjusted EPS in 3Q could be slightly stronger than in 4Q. The company noted that e-commerce profitability is improving, boosted by more orders for its delivery network and store pickup. KR lowered its CEO pay by 18% recently, and it does vary on performance. He needs to get by on $15.7 million total compensation this year. Excessive, but at least it varies with performance, and we have seen much worse.

COMMENT

Kroger Co.(KR)

Oct 17, 2022
proposed merger Kroger is buying Albertson's, but the White House won't allow it, he thinks. The deal is worth $24.6 billion. Now, he's changing his mind. If the deal goes through, then Albertson's will gain huge. Both stocks have been lagging before this deal. Together, they would have a lot of heft with suppliers, boosting free cash flow and lower admin costs (among other benefits), reaching $1 billion in synergies in four years (say the companies). They would be the second-largest grocer in the U.S. But the merger of Albertson's and Safeway was a disaster, and the FTC definitely remembers that. It will be a long slog (the chances don't look good).

It reports Thursday. It had a miserable period of underperformance, but followed with consistently good numbers despite the pandemic. But rising prices from suppliers may force Kroger to raise their own prices which will hurt margins...and share price.
