Kroger is a retailer. Co. also manufactures and processes food for sale by its supermarkets and online. The combo store is the primary food store format. The stores provide the specialty departments that customers desire for one-stop shopping, including natural food and organic sections, pharmacies, general merchandise, pet centers and perishables such as fresh seafood and organic produce. In addition to the departments provided at a typical combo store, multi-department stores sell a selection of general merchandise items such as apparel, home fashion and furnishings, outdoor living, electronics, automotive products and toys. The Kroger YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the Kroger YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether Kroger YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the KR YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
