Kroger was similarly oversold two years ago based on the massive disruption
caused by the Amazon/Whole Foods developments. That sell-off proved to be a
useful near-term buying opportunity. We see the same type of valuation anomaly
with Kroger today following the extreme disappointment with the recent 1Q19
results. Alternative income streams now a source of cost-free upside – Our
thinking around alternative profit streams has evolved. Since the Street doesn’t
seem to be giving any credit to these non-traditional growth vehicles, we no
longer view alternative streams as a source of earnings risk but rather as a
source of free upside for investors. While the core retail operations remain
pressured and are set to face more difficult fuel margin comparisons, these
headwinds are much better discounted in the stock at this point.”” Read more …
