Upside
05/24/25
Kroger's solid financial performance and positive earnings call sentiment support its stock score. However, technical indicators suggest neutral to bearish trends, and the CEO's resignation introduces leadership uncertainty. Valuation is fair, but increased leverage and declining free cash flow pose financial risks.

Jefferies Reaffirms Their Buy Rating on Kroger Company (KR)Reit BUY. Consumer environment remains uncertain, but KR operating in stride; Reiterate BUY. While the consumer backdrop still remains uncertain given financial pressures on more budget conscious households, we believe KR is operating from a position of strength, having weathered the worst of retail channel shift headwinds / inflationary super-cycle, driving positive household growth / traffic improvements, and benefiting from an inflation uptick. We raise our sales estimates to account for stronger IDs but take down our EPS estimates slightly to account for higher expected interest expense. Reiterate Buy with a $75 PT.
