At this stage it would be nice if someone could make an offer and put us out of our misery lol. it is strange that this company is trading so low. the fact is the future is online. you look at all supermarkets now they all have dedicated online teams fulfilling orders. then you have the explosion of Deliveroo and others delivering shopping. then you have the shopping experience is just terrible now, no staff, barriers everywhere, scanning receipts to get in or out and it all points to one direction. the future is online. only people shopping now are middle aged and older. the younger generation mostly shop online. then ocado by all measures does have industry leading tech. so why is the business not doing as well as it should? i think it comes down to management. they have partnered with stupid partners is USA of a dinosaur age. Kroger has been a huge let down and you will see soon amazon and walmart will dominate over them. they will be left behind because of thier failure to embrace the future. And ocado stupidly gave them exclusivity perhaps missing out on a deal with amazon who would use ocados tech better. hopefully Kroger get in a new CEO who understands the future and makes full use of ocados tech.
