LQAI · Exit · 1d

Kroger shares were trading at $58.54, sitting at 77% of their 52-week high of $75.60, following a -13.0% 30-day return and a -20.3% 1-year return leading up to its removal. This sustained price decline, alongside a PER of 33.57 and PBR of 6.73 for a consumer staples company, likely flagged the stock as less attractive within LQAI's AI-driven selection universe. Qraft's ranking system, which applies to a US large-cap core universe and drives weekly rebalances, would also have evaluated Kroger's low 1.14% revenue growth and 2.53% return on equity. These combined signals of price underperformance and subdued financial metrics likely led the AI engine to drop KR, resulting in its 0.00% weighting in the LQAI portfolio on July 7th.

Kroger’s financials, presenting a PER of 33.57, PBR of 6.73, 1.14% revenue growth, and 2.53% ROE, were factored into LQAI’s Qraft AI ranking for US large-cap core selections, which operates without a heavy factor tilt. Following a significant 15.2% decline over 30 days, with the stock trading at $58.22 near its 52-week low of $55.53, the fund's AI system then prompted a consecutive weight increase for KR. This change, occurring on July 1st and 2nd, lifted Kroger’s allocation from 0.29% to 0.32%. Positioned midway between broad market and concentrated momentum strategies, LQAI's selection engine appears to have identified a compelling opportunity in Kroger after its recent price compression.

LQAI · Weight decrease · 2d

LQAI's allocation to Kroger shows a gradual decrease from 0.31% to 0.29% during the final days of June, a consistent daily reduction signaling lowered conviction. This particular shape makes sense for the Qraft AI ranking engine, which manages LQAI as a core large-cap fund without heavy factor tilts, as it processes Kroger’s current price level. The stock’s significant -18.7% 30-day return and its current position at a 52-week low of $55.53 would weigh heavily on the AI's ranking, especially for a company showing only 0.35% revenue growth and trading at a PER of 35.33. The AI, balancing large-cap core principles with its dynamic selection, is likely de-emphasizing a stock that exhibits both weak price action and modest fundamental growth given its valuation. These micro-adjustments within LQAI’s generally weekly rebalancing cycle suggest the AI's ongoing reassessment of KR under current market conditions.

LQAI · Weight increase · 2d

KROGER CO (KR), with a PER of 35.33, PBR of 6.73, revenue growth of 0.35%, and a 9.42% ROE, demonstrates a profile LQAI’s Qraft AI selection engine evaluates within its US large-cap core universe, balancing these metrics without a heavy factor tilt. LQAI's weight in KR initially declined to 0.29% by June 22, mirroring the stock's -17.9% 90-day return. The subsequent consecutive weight increase from 0.29% to 0.32% between June 23 and June 24 occurred as KR traded near $58.48, closely approaching its 52-week low of $55.76. This shift suggests the Qraft AI, responsible for LQAI's name selection, identified an improved relative ranking for Kroger at this lower valuation, now at 77% of its 52-week high, despite its modest revenue growth within the stable Consumer Staples sector.

LQAI · Weight decrease · 3d

Kroger's financial profile, marked by a 0.35% revenue growth and 9.42% return on equity alongside a 34.7 PER and 6.73 PBR, presents a less appealing picture for LQAI's Qraft AI ranking engine, which targets core large-cap selection without a heavy factor tilt. This valuation, combined with Kroger's current price of $55.76—representing a -15.1% return over 30 days and sitting at its 52-week low—likely prompted the AI's re-evaluation. Subsequently, LQAI's weight in KR saw a consistent decrease, moving from 0.3600% on June 10 to 0.2900% by June 22. Given LQAI's methodology, the AI's algorithm appears to have adjusted exposure to Kroger as its recent price performance and underlying metrics no longer aligned with its selection criteria for a balanced, core large-cap portfolio.

Kroger Co. (KR) presents a PER of 34.25 and PBR of 6.73, alongside revenue growth of 0.35% and ROE of 9.42%. For LQAI, an AI-driven core large-cap ETF from the LG-Qraft collaboration aiming for a balanced portfolio without heavy factor tilts, these metrics signal a potential re-evaluation of its attractiveness. The Qraft AI's ranking algorithm began reducing KR's weight from 0.34% to 0.30% between June 15th and June 18th, 2026. This divestment phase occurred as KR traded at its 52-week low of $56.61, following 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year returns all showing double-digit declines. Such sustained negative price momentum, combined with its high valuation multiples and low fundamental growth, likely prompted the AI's selection engine to decrease exposure in line with its "midway between QRFT and AMOM" style.

Kroger Co. currently trades at $62.99, positioned at 83% of its 52-week high and reflecting a 30-day return of -5.9% alongside a 1-year return of -6.9%. This recent downward price trajectory, combined with a PER of 37.1 and PBR of 6.73 against a revenue growth rate of 0.35% and an ROE of 9.42%, likely informed the Qraft AI engine. The LG-Qraft collaboration's AI, which applies its ranking to a US large-cap core universe and rebalances weekly, appears to have processed these financial and price signals. Consistent with its AI-driven name selection methodology, LQAI’s manager subsequently decreased Kroger’s weight from 0.39% to 0.35% on June 9th, indicating a re-evaluation of the stock's attractiveness within its ~100-stock core large-cap portfolio.

Kroger stock trades at $64.69, sitting at 86% of its 52-week high, following a 2.9% decline over the past 30 days and a 6.0% drop over the last year, despite a modest 2.4% gain over 90 days. This recent downward trajectory, combined with its 38.63 PER and a low 0.35% revenue growth, likely signaled to Qraft's AI selection engine a deteriorating risk-reward profile or weakening fundamental momentum within LQAI’s US large-cap core universe. The series of weekly rebalancing adjustments, evident from the consistent weight decrease from 0.44% on May 20th to 0.39% by May 27th, suggests the AI’s ranking for KR steadily declined. Operating with a style positioned between broad market exposure and concentrated momentum, LQAI’s AI made specific, sustained tactical reductions based on its analysis of Kroger’s evolving market and financial picture, shifting away from a name showing limited near-term growth at its current valuation.

Currently priced at $67.25, Kroger resides at 89% of its 52-week high, experiencing a -1.1% 30-day return following a more positive +7.7% over 90 days. This recent deceleration in price performance, coupled with the company's PER of 40.62 and PBR of 6.73 alongside 0.35% revenue growth and a 9.42% ROE, appears to have triggered a dynamic response from the Qraft AI ranking engine. As a core large-cap fund that rebalances weekly and balances broad market exposure with momentum considerations, LQAI adjusted its position in Kroger. The fund’s AI consequently initiated a consecutive reduction in Kroger's weight from 0.46% on May 19th to 0.42% by May 21st, reflecting its ongoing assessment of the stock's standing within its investment universe.

LQAI · Accumulation · 5d

LQAI, managed by the LG-Qraft collaboration, gradually accumulated Kroger shares from zero over a period of days, initiating the position as its Qraft AI ranking engine identified the consumer staples company for its ~100 US large-cap core portfolio. This steady increase, within the fund's weekly rebalance cycle, suggests the AI engine is responsive to evolving data rather than executing a one-time aggressive purchase, aligning with its "midway between broad and concentrated momentum" style. Despite a high PER of 40.62 and modest revenue growth of 0.35%, the AI likely detected underlying stability or an attractive entry point for KR. Specifically, the stock's 30-day return of -2.4% at a price of $68.68 might have presented a perceived short-term dip for the AI's selection process, which applies its ranking without heavy factor tilt.

Kroger shares are trading at $70.60, near 93% of their 52-week high, after a 90-day return of +18.6% and a recent -0.5% dip over 30 days. This price action, consolidating near a peak, prompted the Qraft AI selection engine behind LQAI to initiate a gradual accumulation. The AI, operating without heavy factor tilt within its US large-cap core universe, built its position from 0.0000% to 0.4600% over several days, indicating specific, evolving positive signals for KR at this price level despite metrics like a 41.67 PER and 0.35% revenue growth.

LQAI · Weight increase · 2d

The LQAI fund initiated its position in KR with a 0.41% weight on May 12th, subsequently increasing its allocation in small, daily increments to 0.44% by May 18th. This measured accumulation suggests the Qraft AI ranking engine identified a developing positive signal for the consumer staples company, possibly viewing the recent 30-day price decline as a buying opportunity within its broader 90-day upward trajectory, as it sits at 90% of its 52-week high. Despite KR’s current revenue growth of 0.35% and a PER of 42.81, the AI's selection process, which eschews heavy factor tilts, appears to be detecting nuanced, forward-looking indicators or shifts in market dynamics within the large-cap core universe. This specific, AI-driven approach distinguishes LQAI's move from a straightforward momentum chase, highlighting its unique method for name selection.

The AI likely prioritized Kroger's defensive consumer staples characteristic, incrementally increasing its weight perhaps to hedge against anticipated market volatility despite the company's high valuation and stagnant revenue growth. This suggests the AI is valuing stability over traditional growth metrics; retail investors should carefully assess if such expensive defensive plays align with their own risk profile and market outlook.

The AI ETF likely initiated a position in Kroger due to its defensive characteristics as a consumer staples company, prioritizing stability and resilience in potentially volatile market conditions, despite its high valuation multiples and modest revenue growth. This suggests the AI's algorithm may be factoring in sector rotation or a need for portfolio ballast. For a retail investor, this highlights that AI fund managers often employ complex strategies beyond simple P/E or growth metrics, emphasizing factors like sector stability or forward-looking models rather than just past financial performance.
