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?
