Loblaw Companies Ltd, a leading food and drug retailer in Canada, has experienced significant growth, especially following its acquisition of Shoppers Drug Mart. Experts note its strong performance amid food inflation, and the success of its No Frills discount brand has drawn positive attention. However, concerns about overvaluation are prevalent, with many analysts watching for signs of sustainable growth, especially with increasing competition from Walmart and Costco. While some view the company as a solid defensive investment, others are cautious, indicating that current valuations appear stretched compared to historical standards. Analysts provide mixed views on its future performance, recommending investors consider alternatives in the retail space.

ATD

TOP PICK

It has seen the worst, is bottoming and is starting to do better. The soft economy benefits supermarkets. Long-term hold.

COMMENT

A classic defensive stock and they now seem to have turned things around. At this point it is an interesting investment. On her radar.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 26/08. Up 3.4%.) Got stopped at about $30.50 at a very small profit. Nothing wrong with it and it is in the reasonable space. Very defensive.

DON'T BUY

In the last few months, profitability has stabilized. Operating characteristics are also improving a little bit but doesn't think it is out of the woods entirely yet. Still too early.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 26/08. Up 7.1%.) Likes the food sector. Still on track. Hold.

SHORT

(Market Call Minute.) Has had an amazing run, but the most expensive grocery store in the world right now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 7/08. Up 6.7%.) Had a good run so there might be better places to put new money. If you own, continued to Hold.

TOP PICK

Very real indications they are gaining traction and moving towards their operating plan. This could see earnings growth over the next 3 years in a very defensive space.

TOP PICK

Great management.

DON'T BUY

Recently shot up because of that move to defensive stocks as well as a rumour that the Weston family might be making a bid to privatize the company. Thinks this is built into the price of the stock. Trading at about 8X EBITDA next year.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Has performed amazingly well over the last little while. There is a possibility that Weston (WN-T) will take it back in the fold.

TOP PICK

One of the few stocks that is above its 200-day moving average. Started base building as far back as February/08. Use a stoploss of around $30.50. Potential of reaching $47-$48.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.)

TOP PICK

Looks like it has turned around. Good locations.

TOP PICK

In times of desperation, consumers stop going to restaurants and start buying frozen meat pies. Simultaneously, you've got this company that is making a turnaround in its quarterly numbers. The long exhausting restructuring seems to be happening.
