Values are as tagged by the issuer in XBRL. Revenue for banks and insurers is net of interest expense where that is the reported line. Fiscal years that do not follow the calendar are shown by their period-end date. No price, market cap, or valuation multiple is shown because Yield Theory does not republish unlicensed market data.

Diluted EPS is the earnings figure behind the price-to-earnings ratio; the P/E multiple compression calculator shows how a change in that multiple moves a share price. Shares outstanding multiplied by the share price gives market capitalization.

What investors should watch in KR

The Kroger Co. sits in Consumer Staples. Food, beverages, household goods, and tobacco — the classic defensive sector where pricing power meets inelastic demand. We have not yet written company-specific drivers for KR; the forces that matter most for the sector are:

  • ◆Input-cost inflation and pricing power
  • ◆Private-label competition and volume trends
  • ◆Currency, given large international revenue
  • ◆Defensive rotation when growth slows

Key questions for the KR thesis

Each question starts with what the filings show, then why it matters. None of these is a rating or a forecast.

Does KR's reported profit turn into cash?

Operating cash flow was $7.3B, 7.20 times net income of $1.0B, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Cash from operations exceeded reported earnings. Non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation usually explain the gap; the cash-flow statement shows which.

How much of KR's revenue is left as profit?

Net income was 0.7% of revenue for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, based on revenue and net income reported for the same period.

Net margin reflects the business model as much as execution, so compare it with companies in the same SEC industry and read the income statement for one-time items before treating it as a run rate.

When does The Kroger Co.'s fiscal year end?

The SEC lists The Kroger Co.'s fiscal year end as January 30, not December 31. The latest annual figures here run from February 2, 2025 to January 31, 2026. Its reporting year ends on a nearby date rather than a fixed calendar day.

Annual results cover a different 12 months from calendar-year peers. Align periods before comparing growth or margins across companies.
