Kroger reported fiscal Q2 2027 results on September 11, 2026, for the quarter that ended August 15, 2026. Earnings per share were $1.09, below the $1.17 estimate by 6.64%. Revenue was $34.6 billion, close to the $34.7 billion consensus. The table does not include the same quarter a year earlier, so no year-over-year comparison is possible here. EPS was about 15% below the $1.28 reported for Q4 2026.

The table mostly covers fiscal Q3 and Q4 reports, so it holds no complete fiscal year. Within those quarters, earnings have trended up. Q4 EPS rose from $0.57 in Q4 2020 to $1.34 in Q4 2024, the high in the table, then came in at $1.14 in Q4 2025 and $1.28 in Q4 2026. Q3 EPS climbed from $0.71 in Q3 2021 to $1.05 in Q3 2026. Kroger beat the EPS estimate in 13 of the 15 quarters shown. The two misses are the two most recent reports.

Kroger reported fiscal Q3 between November 30 and December 5 in each of the past six years. That points to early December 2026 for the next report. It will show how fiscal Q3 2027 compares with the $1.05 per share earned in Q3 2026.
