If you believe Kroger can sustain margin expansion, revenue stabilization and close the ROIC/leverage gap with Walmart, then buy toward the current price because WMT-implied P/E raises an upside to $169.66 (169.9% upside) and Kroger trades at large discounts on P/S (0.3x) and EV/EBITDA (11.5x); otherwise avoid or wait for operational improvement given higher leverage and weaker margins.
Kroger trades at a large multiple discount to Walmart: implied WMT-based price is $169.66 (range to $291.97) versus the current $62.85, implying ~170% upside if Walmart's P/E were applied. The gap is driven primarily by a much lower P/E (17.1x vs 46.2x) and lower P/S and EV multiples for Kroger.
