What are Wall Street analysts saying about Kroger stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Kroger stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Kroger is trying all means to overcome competition, volatility in food prices and promotional environment. It is introducing new items, digital coupons, order online pick up in store and smart shopping lists. The company's “Restock Kroger” program is gaining traction. The company's operational strategies present opportunities to improve identical supermarket sales and return on invested capital. These efforts are likely to fuel top and bottom-line growth, as evident from fourth-quarter fiscal 2017 results. In our view, Kroger’s earnings per share growth rate target of 8-11% seem achievable. All these are likely to cushion the stock that came under pressure and underperformed the industry in the past three months due to soft fiscal 2018 earnings view. Further, we note that higher investments in new services and compelling pricing strategy may hurt margins. Additionally, a high debt load may also impact credit worthiness." (3/20/2018)
2. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We expect management will also provide tax rate guidance on Thursday and more color on the after-tax proceeds from the c- store sale. We’ve assumed roughly $1.4-$1.5 billion of debt reduction in FY18 based on the sale. We’ve further refined our revenue, share count, rent, D&A, and margin assumptions based on the c-store sale to EG Group. Our 4Q17 EPS est. is unchanged at $0.61 and this assumes ID sales growth (ex. fuel) of +1.3% based on strong execution in the latest quarter. As summarized in this note, we estimate that Kroger comped positively in 80% of its markets during the latest quarter. That said, it’s also clear that the pricing environment remains extremely competitive. We’re also seeing very strong top-line performance by Aldi and WMT based on analysis of our data. Following the recent 50 bps decline in Walmart’s U.S." (3/6/2018)
3. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "We remain Outperform, however, as we believe KR is taking the difficult, yet necessary steps to preserve market share in an evolving food retail landscape, and see strong long term potential for patient investors.  Taking a page from a successful playbook. KR’s hard reset today took a page from WMT’s playbook (circa 2015 investor day) with investments in price, associate wages and ecommerce (which proved to be the right move relatively quickly). Of the three, pricing was most evident in the quarter, with gross margin down -45bps ex: fuel, M&A, and LIFO compared to -29bps in Q4 (the largest negative Q vs. Q swing in GM since FY12). Based on our checks, we believe price investments in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic have been the primary area of focus, and despite likely incremental spending ahead, we remain optimistic that KR can continue to improve its share position in less competitive markets such as the Midwest. Our revised model now incorporates EBIT margin contraction of -44bps (vs. prior -15bps) owing to -67bps of gross margin (-46bps prior) and -22bps of OpEx leverage (-35bps prior)." (6/12/2017)
