How to Read This Chart

This chart tracks the historical stock price of Kroger over time. You can switch between daily, weekly, and monthly views and select custom time ranges — from a single day to the full available history. Use the toggle to view price changes in absolute currency terms or as a percentage change relative to the starting date.

Total Return vs. Price Return

The "Total Return" toggle includes reinvested dividends on top of the pure price movement. This is critical because dividends can account for a significant portion of long-term returns. Historically, roughly 40 % of the S&P 500's total return has come from dividends. Always compare total return when evaluating a stock's real performance against a benchmark.

Intraday Price Data

When viewing a one-day time frame, the chart displays real-time intraday price movements. This is useful for observing how Kroger stock reacts to market openings, earnings releases, or breaking news throughout the trading session.

What to Look For

Look for long-term trends (sustained upward or downward movements over months and years), support and resistance levels (price zones where the stock repeatedly bounces or reverses), and volatility (how much the price fluctuates day to day). Comparing Kroger's price chart to a market index like the S&P 500 can reveal whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming the broader market.

Income Statement Key Figures

Revenue and Revenue Growth

Revenue is the starting point of every income statement — it measures the total sales Kroger generates from its core business. Revenue growth (expressed as year-over-year percentage change) is one of the most important indicators of business momentum. Sustained growth above 10 % annually is generally considered strong, while declining revenue is a serious warning sign that demands investigation.

Gross Margin

Gross margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue. It reveals what percentage of each dollar of revenue Kroger retains after direct production costs. High gross margins (above 50 %) are typical of asset-light businesses like software and brands, while capital-intensive industries like manufacturing often operate below 30 %. Compare Kroger's gross margin to industry peers and track it over time to spot improving or deteriorating pricing power.

EBIT and EBIT Margin

EBIT measures operating profit — what remains after subtracting all operating expenses (including R&D, sales, and administrative costs) from gross profit. The EBIT margin shows this as a percentage of revenue. Because it excludes interest and taxes, EBIT allows fair comparisons between companies with different debt levels and tax jurisdictions. A rising EBIT margin indicates improving operational efficiency.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Net income is the company's final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes. Dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding gives you EPS — the single most influential metric in stock valuation. Consistent EPS growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Always check whether EPS growth comes from genuine profit improvement or from share buybacks reducing the share count.

Shares Outstanding

The total number of shares Kroger has issued. A declining share count (through buybacks) boosts EPS and signals management confidence. A rising share count (through stock issuance) dilutes existing shareholders. Always monitor this number alongside EPS to get the full picture of per-share value creation.

Analyst Estimates

The projected figures represent consensus estimates from professional analysts. Compare these forecasts against Kroger's historical growth rates to assess whether expectations are realistic. A company that consistently beats consensus estimates tends to see its stock price rewarded over time, while repeated misses erode investor confidence.

Kroger stock margins

The Kroger margin analysis displays the gross margin, EBIT margin, as well as the profit margin of Kroger. The EBIT margin (EBIT/sales) indicates the percentage of sales that remains as operating profit. The profit margin shows the percentage of sales that remains for Kroger.

Kroger business model & stock analysis

The Kroger Co, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, is the largest supermarket chain in the USA. The company was founded in 1883 by Barney Kroger and has since grown continuously, both organically and through acquisitions of other supermarkets. Kroger's business model is based on the sale of food and other goods, such as clothing, household items, and cosmetics, under various supermarket brands like Ralphs, Harris Teeter, and Fred Meyer. The company operates over 2,700 supermarkets in 35 US states and employs over 465,000 employees. Kroger has a number of divisions targeting different target groups and needs. One of them is the Kroger brand itself, which offers a wide range of food and other goods under one roof. There are also brands like Fry's Food Stores, which operate in Arizona and specialize in local food and products. In recent years, the company has expanded its business through the acquisition of companies like Vitacost, an online retailer of dietary supplements and health products, and Murray's Cheese, a retailer of cheese and gourmet products. Kroger has also begun to invest in new technologies to enhance the shopping experience for its customers.

Kroger SWOT Analysis

Strengths

Kroger Co possesses several strengths that contribute to its success in the market. Firstly, the company has a strong brand image and a well-established presence in the grocery retail industry. This allows them to enjoy high levels of customer trust and loyalty.

Additionally, Kroger Co has a wide range of product offerings, including both private-label and national brands. This diverse selection attracts a large customer base and enables the company to appeal to various consumer preferences.

Another strength is Kroger Co's extensive distribution network, which allows for efficient supply chain management and ensures prompt delivery of products to its stores. This enables the company to keep up with consumer demands and maintain high levels of customer satisfaction.

Weaknesses

Despite its strengths, Kroger Co also faces some weaknesses that can hinder its performance. One significant weakness is its heavy reliance on traditional brick-and-mortar stores. With the increasing popularity of online grocery platforms, Kroger Co may struggle to keep up with competitors who have a stronger digital presence.

Another weakness is Kroger Co's limited international presence. While the company is a leader in the US market, its lack of global reach puts them at a disadvantage compared to competitors who have expanded into international markets.

Opportunities

Kroger Co has several opportunities for growth and expansion. One major opportunity is the increasing demand for organic and healthy food products. By expanding its organic product offerings and focusing on health-conscious consumers, Kroger Co can tap into this growing market segment and attract new customers.

Furthermore, Kroger Co can explore partnerships and collaborations with technology companies to enhance its online shopping capabilities. Investing in e-commerce and implementing innovative digital solutions can help the company compete with online grocery delivery services and appeal to tech-savvy consumers.

Threats

Like any business, Kroger Co faces certain threats that can impact its operations. One significant threat is the intense competition within the grocery retail industry. Other major retailers, both traditional and online, pose a challenge to Kroger Co's market share and profitability.

Additionally, economic fluctuations and changes in consumer spending patterns can pose a threat to Kroger Co's financial performance. A downturn in the economy or shifts towards lower-cost alternatives may affect consumer purchasing power and impact the company's revenue.

Kroger Eulerpool Fair Value

Details

Fair Value Estimate

What Is Fair Value?

Fair value is an estimate of what a stock is truly "worth" based on its financial fundamentals, independent of the current market price. If the calculated fair value is above the current share price, the stock may be undervalued — and vice versa. This chart shows three different fair value approaches so you can cross-check them against each other.

Earnings-Based Fair Value

Calculated by multiplying the current earnings per share (EPS) by the average historical P/E ratio over a selected multi-year period. The smoothing over several years filters out temporary spikes or dips. If this fair value exceeds the market price, it suggests the stock is cheap relative to its earning power.

Example: Fair Value (Earnings) 2022 = EPS 2022 × Average P/E 2019–2021

Revenue-Based Fair Value

Derived by multiplying revenue per share by the average historical price-to-sales ratio. This method is particularly useful for companies with volatile or temporarily depressed earnings, as revenue tends to be more stable than profits. It answers: "At what price has the market historically valued each dollar of this company's sales?"

Example: Fair Value (Revenue) 2022 = Revenue per Share 2022 × Average P/S 2019–2021

Dividend-Based Fair Value

Calculated by dividing the dividend per share by the average historical dividend yield. This approach is most relevant for mature, consistently dividend-paying companies. If the resulting fair value is higher than the current price, it implies the stock offers a better yield than its historical average.

Example: Fair Value (Dividend) 2022 = Dividend per Share 2022 ÷ Average Yield 2019–2021

How to Use This Chart

When all three fair value lines converge above the current price, it strengthens the case that the stock is undervalued. When they diverge, investigate why — it may indicate a structural shift in margins, payout policy, or growth rate. The forward estimates on the right extend the analysis using projected fundamentals, helping you assess whether the current price already reflects future growth expectations.

Kroger annual returns

Annual Return

What This Chart Shows

This chart breaks down 's total annual return into two components: price return (gains or losses from stock price movement) and dividend return (income received from dividend payments). Together, they represent the total return an investor would have earned in each calendar year.

Price Return

Price return measures the percentage change in 's stock price from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Positive bars indicate the stock appreciated; negative bars show a decline. This is the component most investors focus on, but it tells only part of the story — especially for dividend-paying stocks.

Dividend Return

Dividend return represents the income generated from dividends paid during the year, expressed as a percentage of the starting stock price. While it may seem small in any single year (typically 1–4 % for established companies), dividends compound significantly over decades and have historically contributed roughly 40 % of total stock market returns.

What to Look For

Examine how many years showed positive vs. negative returns to gauge consistency. A stock with mostly positive years and small drawdowns suggests lower risk. Also compare 's annual returns to a benchmark index — consistently outperforming the market is a hallmark of a strong investment. Pay attention to the worst years: understanding downside risk is just as important as chasing upside potential.

Kroger shares outstanding

The number of shares of Kroger was 655 M in 2025. This indicates how many shares Kroger is divided into. Since shareholders are the owners of a company, each share represents a small portion of the company's ownership.
