Rhea AI KR FY2025 2026-09-05

Kroger’s dominant mechanic is a thin-margin retail model where below-gross-profit costs compress earnings while cash generation remains stronger.

Gross margin reached 23.3% in FY2025, but operating margin nearly halved from the prior year to 1.3%, showing that improved merchandise economics did not flow through to operating profit. Operating cash flow rose to $7.3B even as net income fell to $1.0B; cash generation was therefore much stronger than reported earnings, although these figures alone cannot identify whether working capital or noncash items drove the gap.

The capital structure became more debt-dependent: debt-to-equity climbed to 2.4x while equity fell to $5.9B in FY2025. Current ratio was only 0.8x, indicating current liabilities exceeded current assets and leaving less short-term balance-sheet slack.

Capital spending remained near $3.9B, while free cash flow reached $3.5B; cash generation remained positive after substantial reinvestment, not because the business stopped investing. The combination of thin operating margins and positive post-capex cash flow describes a model that converts sales into cash without retaining much profit at the operating line.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 36/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Kroger's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Kroger has an operating margin of 1.3%, meaning the company retains $1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 49/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 2.6% the prior year.

Growth

Kroger's revenue grew a modest 0.4% year-over-year to $147.6B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 28/100.

Leverage

Kroger has a moderate D/E ratio of 2.45. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 30/100.

Liquidity

Kroger's current ratio of 0.80 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 11/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

Kroger has a free cash flow margin of 2.3%, earning a moderate score of 32/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

Kroger earns a strong 17.1% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $17 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 65/100. This is down from 32.2% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe

4.27

Kroger scores 4.27, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Strong

7/9

Kroger passes 7 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

7.20x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Kroger generates $7.20 in operating cash flow ($7.3B OCF vs $1.0B net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

2.96x

Kroger earns $2.96 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($1.9B vs $639.0M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
