Kroger stays a Buy with strong Q2 results and a CEO-led turnaround focusing on cost cuts and price reductions.

Kroger remains a Buy as the company shows resilience with 5% adjusted EPS growth in Q2 despite challenges from outbreaks. E-commerce sales grew 20%, and net debt remains manageable at 1.91x EBITDA. The new CEO is driving a turnaround strategy emphasizing cost savings, including about 3,000 corporate job cuts and AI efficiencies, to support price cuts and store investments. Although the Albertsons merger risk lingers, Kroger's current valuation is well below its intrinsic value, making it an attractive investment opportunity with a strong margin of safety.

Kroger shares are trading at USD 62.95 on Pluang, showing a slight decline of 0.22% in the past day. The stock remains popular among investors with 80% of order activity being buys as of Oct 16, 2026 02:21 WIB.
