StockThe Kroger Co.
One email when a drop — in price or in valuation — is historically rare for KR. Otherwise we stay quiet.
Bigger than its usual dip. Not yet rare.
The Kroger Co. is 23.4% off its high — deeper than its 4.9% average pullback, but it has been through 236 drawdowns before. Not historically significant yet — we'll say so if that changes.
But down is not the same as cheap: The Kroger Co.'s P/S Severity Score is 0.4 — its valuation sits in or above its typical range.
