Kroger Co (The) stock price 2027–2031: scenarios
If Kroger Co (The)'s earnings keep growing at the 6.5% a year analysts expect to FY2029, it would earn about 6.66 a share in FY2031. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (14.5 to 40.3) that is 96.78 to 268.32 a share, or 142.08 at its average P/E of 21.3. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | 5.19 | 75.48 | 110.80 | 209.25 |
| FY2028 | 5.48 | 79.60 | 116.85 | 220.67 |
| FY2029 | 5.87 | 85.32 | 125.26 | 236.55 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 6.25 | 90.87 | 133.41 | 251.93 |
| FY2031 (extrapolated) | 6.66 | 96.78 | 142.08 | 268.32 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2029; the years after continue its 6.5% a year. Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of the last five fiscal year ends (14.5, 21.3, 40.3).
Is Kroger Co (The) stock undervalued or overvalued?
Kroger Co (The)'s P/E of 36.6 is near the top of its 5-year range (12.6 to 44.7, median 17.2). Analysts expect faster growth than in recent years, which can explain part of the high P/E. Fair value is not a reliable guide for Kroger Co (The): its earnings swing (EPS fell 58.0% in FY2025), so its usual P/E would mislead. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2027, is 13.0.
