  • Kroger Shares Dip After Narrow Earnings Miss Despite Strong Sales
    June 18, 2026, 10:01 AM EDT. Kroger's shares fell 3% in premarket trading after the grocer reported first-quarter sales of $46.1 billion, beating forecasts, but adjusted earnings per share missed by a cent at $1.58 versus $1.59 expected. 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. The company faces risks from high costs, competition, labor negotiations, and potential legal issues from a terminated Albertsons deal.
