If you believe KR can sustain its stronger margin profile and avoid multiple compression despite its premium versus ACI, then hold rather than add aggressively because the current price already embeds a richer P/E and EV/EBITDA than ACI and sits near the upper half of its historical range.
On the provided P/E basis, KR appears expensive versus ACI, with KR at 37.5x P/E versus ACI at 28.9x, and the implied price of $44.58 sits 22.8% below the current $57.74. However, the market is not pricing KR at a clear breakout premium relative to its own history, since the current price is within the historical band of $51.97 to $63.51.
