The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR)

Kroger's movement toward fresh fair markets is the right move with the grocery trends being coming more and more oriented in that direction.

Like kroger brand

Consumer staples, cash-cow, cheap, paying dividends. Not going anywhere if the economy turns to garbage again.

good run

KR is the best food play in the market. I'm going long after yesterdays sell off. Stores are impressive, prices are fair, food inflation will hurt other like stores, but not so much Kroger.

One of my favorites

Has a monopoly on groceries were I live. Is getting in the gas business as well. Watch out Walmart.

The company is in a downward spiral. The P/E is currently 0, which indicates that the company is bringing in any earnings. Just yesterday the PE was nearly 1000, which means that the stock price was over 900 times the amount that the company was making for that stock.

The total net income has also dropped sharply from one year to the next, and the stock price, in its current state, is unsustainable.

There are three things I like about this company:

1) They sell food.
2) Year-to-year revenue growth.
3) Year-to-year reduction of outstanding shares.

Inflation adds to margins

slow rise to 25 next year. long term only.it has been oversold.

Kroger knows how to run a supermarket. They compete very well with Wal Mart on price but their selection and shopping experience are better.

Kroger is a good hold right now. Kroger offers good total return potential to 20012-2014. On a relative P/E basis, it is trading near the low end of its historical range. I would hold onto Kroger through 2014. Compared to Whole Foods, I would pick Kroger. Kroger tries to lower prices, and Whole Foods is for those willing to spend marginally more, and considering that disposable income is down by 1 percent as of Sept. 2009, people are probably more likely to purchase cheaper substitutes.

Grocery Stocks are undervalued compared to the market over the last downturn and have yet to be spotted. Kroger specifically is one of hte strongest with the weakest current P/E ratio. No downside to a cheap well run grocery.

Consumerism may have dropped but its here to stay, KG is expanding it's line of branded increasing it's market share against the branded ones. In difficult times like these, consumers are more likely to try these, question is, will they stick with the branded product when the economy recovers?

Food prices are bottoming out and Kroger will show why its one of the top food distributers.

Appears to have good upside momentum. I don't see much downside and the shares have been strong recently...

Kroger is a great long-term value at its current price. Even though it is the largest grocery chain in the U.S., it still has room for growth, particularly through it's gas stations, which are only included in about one-third of its stores at present. I also like the strong store brand that allows them to keep prices low (and offer organic products at competitive prices), and they provide good discounts. Plus, I think there is room for growth through Kroger Personal Finance and the credit services offered through this venue. In general, I've been satisfied with Kroger as a customer and as a shareholder, and I think this will continue and Kroger will outperform the broader market.

Value. Long at 20.50 target 26.00
