Kroger (KR) Higher as Goldman Sachs Removes 'Sell' Rating

Shares of Kroger (NYSE: KR) are mildly higher early Monday after Goldman Sachs boosted its rating from Sell to Neutral and raised its price target from $24 to $27.

The firm cited: (1) upward estimate revisions on improving second derivative industry growth that leave us more in line with consensus; (2) M&A is moving to the forefront, with KR positioned as a consolidator; and (3) a 10% total distribution yield makes KR the best social contract in our coverage.
