Questions about KR

What people ask.

Why is KR on Broken Stocks?

KR qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -24.0% from its rolling 252-day high of $76.58, set on 2026-03-12 — 113d ago.

Is KR a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. KR is down -24.0% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.

Is KR a buy?

Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.

Where is KR trading inside its 52-week range?

At $58.22, KR sits 20.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($54.15) to its 52-week high ($73.89). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has KR been declining?

The current 24.0% decline accrued over 113d, which annualizes to roughly -77.5% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
