Frequently asked questions

What is Kroger Company's stock price?

Kroger Company (KR) trades at $64.71, on a P/E of 42.0x and a P/S of 0.3x. Those multiples show what the market is paying for each dollar of earnings and sales, which is the real starting point for judging whether the price is reasonable.

Is Kroger Company overvalued?

Kroger Company carries a Smart Value Score of 59/100 (Grade C+), which we rate Hold. That score blends growth, quality, and valuation into one read. Our DCF puts intrinsic value at $72.60 versus the $64.71 price, a 10.9% margin of safety on a cash flow basis.

What is the price target of Kroger Company (KR)?

The 12-month analyst consensus target is $74.25, about 14.7% above the current $64.71. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.

What is the future stock price of KR by 2030?

Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $3,212.34, built from revenue projections, a growth-adjusted P/S multiple, net debt, and share dilution. It is a scenario rather than a prediction, and the bull and bear cases around it matter more than the single number when you are sizing a position.

What is the intrinsic value of Kroger Company (KR)?

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $72.60, a +10.9% margin of safety versus today's $64.71. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A positive reading means the price sits below that estimate, leaving a cushion if growth holds.

What is Kroger Company's revenue?

Kroger Company's trailing twelve-month revenue is $147.64B, and our model projects it reaching about $164.20B by 2030. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.

Altman Z-Score?

Kroger Company's Altman Z-Score is 3.88, which places it in the safe zone. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
