Kroger Q1 Earnings Miss Despite Revenue Beat & E-commerce Growth
Kroger lags Q1 earnings estimates as cost pressures and price investments weigh on margins despite stronger sales, e-commerce growth and steady guidance.
Kroger: This Is Not The Defensive Dip To Buy
Kroger faces mounting pressure as weak Q1 gross margins and volume losses drive a notable earnings miss and stock decline. KR's guidance remains intact, but I expect full-year results at the low end of ranges, with continued volume losses and gross margin pressure. KR's defensive compounder status is in jeopardy; I assign a Hold rating and a $51 price target, reflecting limited upside and better value elsewhere.
Kroger: Undervalued After The Post-Earnings Selloff (Ratings Upgrade)
Kroger Co. is upgraded to Buy after a post-earnings drop, with valuation offering a solid margin of safety amid potential business improvements. KR maintains 2026 guidance for 1–2% identical sales growth, $5.10–$5.30 EPS, and $2.7B–$2.9B FCF despite macro headwinds. The new CEO is pursuing price cuts to drive long-term differentiation and growth alongside their mixed (digital and brick-and-mortar) expansion.
Kroger: Ugly Quarter, Attractive Stock
The Kroger Co. delivered a mixed Q1, with a slight revenue beat, a minor EPS miss, and a cautious management tone highlighting operational challenges. KR's management is proactively addressing pricing complexity and unsustainable operating costs, aiming to sharpen competitiveness without directly matching Walmart or Costco. eCommerce sales grew 19% YoY and turned profitable, supporting a bullish pillar alongside initiatives in Pharmacy, Ads, and Media.
