Kroger Earnings: 3 Things to Watch

Kroger (NYSE: KR) stock has run ahead of the market for most of 2020 as sales spiked thanks to COVID-19 demand shifts. Investors are worried that the good times for Kroger could be ending soon, pushing sales growth closer to the industry-lagging 2% rate that the supermarket chain was posting before the pandemic struck. Its upcoming earnings report won't quell that concern, but it will show whether Kroger is seeing positive momentum heading into the holiday shopping season.
