These Analysts Slash Their Forecasts On Kroger After Q3 Results

Benzinga12-06 01:47

Kroger Company (NYSE:KR) posted mixed quarterly results marked by softer-than-expected revenue on Thursday.

The company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.05, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $1.03. Quarterly sales of $33.859 billion missed the Street view of $34.155 billion.

"Our eCommerce business posted another quarter of impressive performance. We have now completed our strategic review which we expect will make our e-commerce business profitable in 2026," said CEO Ron Sargent.

"Given our year-to-date results and outlook for the remainder of the year, we are narrowing our identical sales without fuel guidance to a new range of 2.8% to 3.0%," said CFO David Kennerley.

Kroger shares rose 0.1% to trade at $63.19 on Friday.
