There have been several significant developments in the Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) in the third quarter of 2025, which has had mixed impact on its stock. Kroger initially extended losses due to a fall in its net losses and a weak outlook that caused a dip in the company's share price. However, Q3 earnings beat estimates, leading to some fluctuations in the volatility of the stock. Predictions suggest forecast between $70 and $80 or even up to $85 for the share price.
There's been portfolio activity in the stock, with the New York State Common Retirement Fund selling 20,000 shares, and Distillate Capital Partners LLC and Mackenzie Financial Corp reducing their holdings. On the contrary, J.W. Cole Advisors and Vinva Investment Management purchased shares adding more to their holdings. The majority of the company's ownership remains with institutions, and it seems analysts opinions on KR are mixed.
The firm faces pressure due to the consumer environment but shows potential growth in e-commerce, which promises to be profitable in 2026. Notably, Kroger Co adjusted its e-commerce strategy, paying Ocado $350 million over warehouse closures. Despite recent challenges, the company is seen as a top dividend stock and a stable choice for defensive portfolios.
