Kroger (KR) has been drawing attention amidst defensive investor shifts, progressively pushing on establishing private labels and revealing five premium products, hinting at a major growth strategy. Their private labels, as part of their product line-up, have newly introduced must-try items. Despite recent slips due to Walmart’s competitive advantage, KR's stock has been identified as a strong contender for value investment. Their aggressive digital push, revolving around establishing a new e-commerce division, aims at transforming their $13B online business.
Kroger's efforts towards consistently increasing its focus on e-commerce have created a new business unit. Moreover, the company’s resilient dividend growth has resulted in 13.5% annual returns since 2006. With considerable institutional backing at 76% ownership, the retail giant remains a strong candidate for investments. Interestingly, there's a legal battle ensuing involving KR and Albertsons over a derailed merger deal worth $24.6B. Notwithstanding the ongoing legal issues or the dismissal of the CEO due to a conduct probe, Kroger's earnings forecasts appear promising despite predictions of a drop.
