  • Kroger Shares Dip After Narrow Earnings Miss Despite Strong Sales

CEO Greg Foran's strategy to cut prices and hold market share against Walmart and Costco pressures margins, with gross margin dipping to 22.7% from 23.0%, due to higher transport costs and fuel mix changes. Kroger maintained its 2026 guidance, projecting identical sales growth excluding fuel of 1%-2% and adjusted EPS between $5.10 and $5.30.
