Kroger operates as a retailer. Co. also manufactures and processes some of the food for sale in its supermarkets. Supermarkets are generally operated under one of the following formats: combination food and drug stores (combo stores); multi-department stores; marketplace stores; or price impact warehouses. The combo stores provide specialty departments including natural food and organic sections, pharmacies, general merchandise, pet centers and perishables such as seafood and organic produce. Marketplace provides grocery, pharmacy and health and beauty care departments as well as perishable offering and general merchandise area that includes apparel, home goods and toys. The KR stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the KR stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2019 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the KR annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
