Positive

Q4 revenue growth of 2.1% and Eli Lilly Zepbound pharmacy partnership expansion support momentum

Kroger (KR) remained relatively flat in extended trading with after-hours decline of 0.43% to $73.59 and minimal pre-market movement, as investors digested strong Q4 results showing revenue of $34.7 billion (+2.1% YoY) and gross margin improvement of 23.1%. The grocer added a new competitive advantage by offering Eli Lilly's Zepbound weight-management injectable through Kroger pharmacies, tapping into high-margin pharmacy services. Despite some store closures, analysts remain positive with raised price targets.
