theflyonthewall.com: Kroger's stock may turn sour, says Barrons.com
Grocery retailer Kroger's (KR) stock could see more pressure, as a continued weak operating environment and deflation continue to weigh on the company. On Tuesday, Kroger's earnings were down vs. a year ago, its margins fell as costs rose, and revenue gains were largely due to fuel sales. Also, the intensity of competition in the industry, along with a slow recovery edged lower the company's full-year forecast. The company is cautiously optimistic that inflation will return in the second half of 2010, but this is far from a given. While Kroger touted "mid-single-digit growth" in its core group of loyal households, the company seems to feel that it must continue walking on eggshells to keep these consumers, and rebuffed suggestions that it would disengage some of its promotional programs. Although the competitive landscape has stabilized in the industry, it is still extremely high, with not only traditional rivals, like Safeway (SWY) and Supervalu (SVU), but also entrants like Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) and Target (TGT) fighting for customers. Other metrics also showed that a recovery may take longer than expected for Kroger. Ebitda dollars continue to lag behind sales, and selling gross margins declined, a trend that management doesn't necessarily see reversing in the near term, especially as nontraditional retailers continue to exert pressure on the industry. Kroger doesn't look rich trading at 12.7x expected earnings, but it does fetch a premium to Safeway, Supervalu, Target and Wal-Mart. It also has an equal or lower dividend yield than all but Target. Overall the tone of the quarter and guidance was one of caution. Given the lack of visibility, continued high unemployment and outside pressures on pricing and inflation, the stock may turn sour, says Barrons.com. Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com
