The sector median covers every company in the sector on the US market, loss-making ones included.
Kroger is the country's largest grocery-only chain: thin margins and enormous turnover.
Grocery retail earns single-digit percentages on a sale, so scale and inventory turnover decide everything. The company owns its own plants — dairy, bakery and meat — which cheapens own-label goods, and those carry a noticeably higher mark-up than outside brands.
The second income source is nearly invisible to the shopper: selling advertising space to manufacturers inside the app and on the site. That revenue arrives at minimal cost and is gradually changing the whole industry's economics. An attempted merger with its nearest competitor was blocked in court — consolidation here runs into antitrust. Kroger pays a dividend and buys back stock.
