The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- KR closes above its 50-day average ($61.65) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($63.78): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $67.70, KR is 11.6% below its 1-year high of $76.58, set on March 12, 2026, and 25.0% above its 1-year low of $54.15 (July 1, 2026).
- Over the past month KR rose 10.2%, from $61.41 to $67.70.
- KR trades at 37.6x its last twelve months of earnings and 12.4x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 204.1% higher.
- KR's 30-day volatility, 34.5% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.2%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.36: over five years of monthly returns, KR moved about 0.36% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $61.65 (−8.9%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 3.5% to cross the 200-day at $63.78.
- A close above $76.58 (+13.1%) would be a new 1-year high; below $54.15 (−20.0%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for KR, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
