I've been keeping an eye on The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) because I'm attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe KR has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a dependable dividend payer that has been a rockstar for income investors, currently trading at an attractive share price. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, read the full report on Kroger here.
Established dividend payer and good value
KR is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of KR's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the consumer retailing industry, KR is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This bolsters the proposition that KR's price is currently discounted.
For those seeking income streams from their portfolio, KR is a robust dividend payer as well. Over the past decade, the company has consistently increased its dividend payout, reaching a yield of 2.9%.
