KR vs AMP Comparison

Kroger is one of the largest grocery retailers in the United States with about 2,700 stores across a portfolio of over 20 supermarket banners. The company boasts an ingrained presence in US communities, citing that it is a top-two grocer in most of its major market areas. Over one fourth of Kroger's roughly $110 billion in nonperishable and fresh food sales (about 75% of revenue) stems from its private-label portfolio, of which the company manufactures about 30% of units via its own food production plants. The company also operates fuel stations and pharmacies at 60% and 80% of its locations, respectively.

Ameriprise Financial has evolved into a diversified financial services provider that generates roughly 65% of its operating income from advice and wealth management. With more than $1 trillion in segment assets under management and advisory at year-end 2024, and with roughly 10,000 affiliated advisors, Ameriprise is one of the larger US-based wealth managers. The firm also boasts a reasonably large asset management franchise in Columbia Threadneedle, which boasted $645 billion in assets under management at year-end 2024. The firm's third key segment is its retirement and protection services business, which sells insurance products to the firm's advisory clients. After eliminations, Ameriprise had $1.5 trillion in assets under management and advisory across segments at year-end 2024.
