You didn’t adjust for risk in your comparison. The s&p 500 has many companies in it that are far riskier than a grocery store chain. Now I can’t say for sure what the aggregate risk is, so you may still be on to something there. In this instance though you’re comparing apples to oranges.

Yes, "many" companies. But it's five hundred of the biggest companies, including Kroger.

There's no way around it - KR is a significantly underperforming stock, and a lousy investment.

If you think KR is a good investment, buy some shares in it. I'll pass, no thanks.
