Kroger (KR) has been a central focus in the market recently due to various factors. Despite lagging behind the market, its shares have been seeing considerable movement. Earnings previews hint at potential surprises in the forthcoming report, even as Kroger's share prices continued to surge. There are ongoing debates over whether now is the ideal time to buy Kroger shares, with some seeing strong long-term value and growth prospects. There have also been notable shares sales from senior figures like Vice President Valerie Jabbar. Meanwhile, Kroger has seen impressive institutional backing, with ownership standing at 76%. However, the proposed
merger with
Albertsons is causing some jitters, even as both companies agreed to sell more stores to progress the approval process. The lawsuit from Colorado seeking to block the merger added to the complications, which have since been amplified by the
FTC's decision to challenge the deal. Further mixed signals were seen as the market improved but the Kroger stock declined. Alongside these developments, Kroger announced the sale of its specialty pharmacy business to Elevance Health's CarelonRx and a change in CFO.
