Frequently asked questions about KR activity

  • Which institutional owners are buying KR?

    Institutional owners buying KR include investors who have either initiated new positions or increased their existing holdings based on recent SEC 13F filings. The activity table above highlights which funds added shares in the latest reporting periods and how their positions changed over time.

  • What does "buy" mean in KR activity?

    "Buy" means an investor increased their reported position in KR compared to the prior reporting period. This reflects growing exposure to KROGER CO (KR) rather than necessarily a brand-new position (though new positions also appear as buys when prior quantity was zero).

  • Is institutional interest in KR increasing?
