2026 reading

Soft

0 signals, 1 drag

Read for the calendar year from the birth date, one of five levels. Signals lift it, drags lower it. The rules stay in-house.

KR has not had a Soft year leading BE before. Across every leader on record, Soft years rose 53% of the time.

This month: November is an Active month. This month’s lists
2027: Published 1 December 2026, sealed before the year starts.

2026 month by month

Active months are the six in which a year’s reading tends to show in the stock. A qualifying reading enters the Rebound list in an Active month that follows a month the stock did not rise. The outlined cell is this month; the move is the month’s price change.

Years in role by level

Strong: 2 of 2 rose
Firm: 0 of 2 rose
Even: 1 of 2 rose
Soft: none
Weak: 0 of 1 rose

All leaders, 1995–2025: Strong 79% of 188 · Firm 70% of 516 · Even 67% of 1,429 · Soft 53% of 217 · Weak 53% of 130.

Year by year

Every calendar year KR led BE with a reading on record, and what the stock did that year. Past years are read with the rules now fixed; the return is the stock's from January to December.

BE rose in 3 of 7 years.

A reading is odds, not a call. Years at each level that rose, all leaders, 1995–2025: Strong 79% · Firm 70% · Even 67% · Soft 53% · Weak 53%.

Chief executive dates

KR became chief executive, 2002sec.gov

A year counts for KR only when these dates make them chief executive for at least six months of it.

Readings: One of five levels a year, with how many signals and drags stacked, computed from the birth date over the thirteen possible birth hours and issued only where at least ten agree. Built 2026-11-02 from research export 53cede7. The rules stay in-house.
Stock data: Calendar-year and monthly % change of adjusted close. Volatility % = annualised stdev of the 12 monthly returns. No prices are included. Adjusted close is split-adjusted, so a stock split never appears as a move in anything plotted here, and stock splits are not recorded as events.
Birth dates: 197 of the 314 people in this dataset now have at least one source recorded here, across 198 of the 320 leader-company records — six people ran two companies and are stored once for each. Of those sources — all 198 of them — 195 are a stated age read out of an SEC proxy statement, which bounds a birth year and says nothing about the day; one is an age stated in a press report; two state the day itself, one from an official gazette read by a person and one from an encyclopedia. The day is what every reading on this site is calculated from, so for all but those two birth dates no source here backs the part that is used. The 195 records the pass produced were not reviewed by a person: each source names who read it. Six findings from the same pass are deliberately not entered, because in each one the date held here falls outside the bound the filing implies, and telling an ordinary record-date lag from a real disagreement needs a person rather than arithmetic. An absent entry still means no source is recorded here yet.

Research and exploration only. Not investment advice. A reading describes a leader's year from their birth date, not the stock.
