Better Buy: Costco vs. Kroger
With nothing more than a passing glance, the two companies appear quite similar. Sure, Kroger (NYSE: KR) is a more traditional grocer while Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) provides a membership-based, bulk-oriented shopping experience. But food sales are food sales.
To investors, though, these two retailers are considerably different, and even more so than usual right now. One is close to falling off an impressive growth cliff and starting to do things it's said it had no interest in doing. The other hasn't grown quite as quickly of late, but it is just starting to reach its full post-pandemic stride.
But which stock is the better buy right now? Let's see if we can find an answer.
