Kroger EVP Wheatley sells 30,000 shares at $72.07 for $2.2M, reducing holdings by 23.5% to 97,737 shares
Executive Vice President Christine S Wheatley sold 30,000 shares (30.0K shares) of Kroger at $72.07 on 2025-04-23, with total proceeds of $2,162,058.00 ($2.2M), reducing her holdings from 127,737 shares (127.7K shares) to 97,737 shares (97.7K shares)—a net decline of 23.5%. This represents her second significant sale within three weeks; she also sold 30,000 shares on 2025-04-04, suggesting a structured or sustained reduction phase rather than a single opportunistic exit. Looking at the broader context, Wheatley's cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00% across 2 prior sells, indicating her prior sales have historically been well-timed as measured by post-sale stock performance. At Kroger specifically, her prior sale on 2023-04-20 returned -1.1% over 90 days (well-timed), though her most recent April 2025 sale outcome remains unmeasurable. The current stock price of $71.35 is only -2.2% below the transaction price and near its 52-week high of $72.98, while Kroger faces modest revenue headwinds (annual revenue growth of -1.9%) despite solid profitability ($739.0M net income).
