- Wednesday, February 13, 10:22 AM Kroger (KR) could take a stab at acquiring grocery chain Harris Teeter Supermarkets (HTSI +2.8%), speculates dealReporter. Though nothing specific on that front has been tipped off by the company, its upsized shelf registration (8-K) gives it a little bit more firing power. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, February 11, 7:32 AM Goldman Sachs upgrades Kroger (KR) up to Neutral from Sell due to its view the sector could see more consolidation and consumers will spend more on groceries this year. A price target of $27 on Kroger from Goldman sits below the stock's current trading price. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, February 8, 10:09 AM A massive snowstorm bearing down on New England is driving consumers in droves to stock up on supplies, according to regional reports. Sales could pick up at Walgreen (WAG +0.5%), Wal-Mart (WMT), Kroger (KR +0.4%), and Safeway (SWY +0.1%) as consumers overstock for the weekend blizzard. On the flip side, Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +1.2%) could see a dip in February traffic due to its high concentration in the Northeast. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, January 28, 10:22 AM The National Retail Federation forecasts 2013 retail sales will increase at a rate of 3.4%, lower than the 4.2% rise seen in 2012. Consumer attitudes will be influenced by higher payroll taxes and the ongoing fiscal cliff drama before improving in the second half of the year, according to the trade group. Retailers with strong online businesses should be able to ride out the moderate growth period adequately with online sales forecast to rise between 9% and 12% for the year. 9 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, January 18, 2:08 PM Kroger (KR) declares $0.15/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield %. For shareholders of record Feb. 15. Payable Mar. 01. Ex-div date Feb. 13. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Thursday, January 10, 9:45 AM Select grocery store operators get a lift after Supervalu's deal with Cerberus raises the profile on the sector. SWY +1.2%, KR +1.2%, DEG +3.1%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Sunday, January 6, 2:45 AM Flowers Foods (FLO) and Mexico's Grupo Bimbo are reportedly set to be the stalking horse bidders for Hostess Brands' bread ops, which the bankrupt company is likely to sell in at least two groups and which could fetch over $350M. Other possible suitors include Wal-Mart (WMT) and Kroger (KR). Wonder Bread, Nature's Pride, Home Pride, Merita and Butternut are among the brands on offer. 6 Comments [Consumer, M&A]
- Thursday, December 13, 2012, 3:12 PM Hostess Brands received first-round bids from Wal-Mart (WMT +0.4%) and Kroger (KR -0.7%) for its assets, according to Bloomberg. Earlier reports suggested close to one hundred bids in total were received for the company's arsenal of well-known snack brands. 7 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, December 13, 2012, 11:20 AM Goldman Sachs analyst Stephen Grambling warns investors in grocery stocks to be careful to buy into the supermarket REIT buzz kickstarted when Canada's Loblaw decided to separate out its real estate assets. He notes retail rivals could easily jump in with better fundamental profiles to take the shine off the REIT play. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 4:40 AM The milk industry is facing a crisis. Per-capita consumption has dropped almost 30% since 1975, with the average amount drunk slipping 3.3% last year to 20.2 gallons per person. Problems include increasing prices, health perceptions, and the rise of alternatives. To revive sales, the industry is changing its marketing and introducing new milk products and packaging. Companies affected include Dean Foods (DF). Comment! [Commodities]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 1:29 PM Deloitte retail analyst Alison Paul doesn't think the Hurricane Sandy excuse being trotted out by major retailers is too far off base. After accounting for a significant pre-storm slowdown and major power outages in the Northeast, she thinks the numbers as a whole are actually quite good. In that same vein, other analysts point to layaway sales and online sales yet to ship as two categories that will help December compensate for the light November. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 8:43 AM More on Kroger's (KR) Q3: The company rode broad sales gains outside of fuel to an improved quarter. For FY12, Kroger lifts its EPS guidance to $2.44-$2.46 from a prior range of $2.35-$2.42. Exec say the grocery store chain will be focused on deploying capital to further improve growth and improve ROIC. KR +4.1% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move, Earnings]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 8:35 AM Kroger (KR): Q3 EPS of $0.45 beats by $0.02. Revenue of $21.8B (+5.9% Y/Y) beats by $160M. Shares +4.3% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]

- Friday, November 23, 2012, 6:51 AM Black Friday shopping will be the headline story in retail for the day, but the underlying plot will be the effect online channels have on the total sales hauls. Though various trade groups tag Black Friday weekend shopping to see a 3% to 4% rise this year, online shopping is expected to increase by closer to 15% heading into Cyber Monday. Online has also been where the winners and losers in the sector have been separated with major online forces such as Macy's (M) and Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) roaring to huge gains - while the likes of J.C. Penney (JCP) and Big Lots (BIG) limp along. 1 Comment [Consumer]

Mercy Jimenez: DAG UR probably right + better at overcoming this resistance than I am; no doubt I've missed opportunities waiting for meltdowns to pounce. -
DAG1996: i'm often not cautious enough so missing an opportunity is a high-quality problem relative to misinterpreting risk as opportunity.
