The Kroger Co. has been attracting significant institutional backing, with an impressive 76% figure, noted for recent share purchases by several prominent investment groups. Controversially, Kroger's merger with Albertsons was blocked, leading to a lawsuit from Albertsons alleging breach of the agreement although Kroger argues that the lawsuit is baseless. Despite these hurdles, Kroger has shown strong growth and commitment to its customers. This is evident in the company's efforts to expand its free drug safety program to 470+ schools, reaching 170,000 students, and providing $1M to support families impacted by the Southern California wildfires. Kroger has again emphasized its commitment to affordability, announcing a $7.5B share buyback program, and launching a $15 Resolution Rescue Bundles to beat the New Year slump. The grocery giant also unveiled a substantial weekly savings campaign through January 2024 and is highlighted as a good grocery stock to invest according to some market analysts. Looking forward, Kroger has made notable strides in digital growth and aims to forge a solo growth path following the collapsed merger with Albertsons.
