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.

BUY
Good stock to own.
BUY
A good defensive stock. Likely to see some food inflation, so top line will grow faster than has been happening over the last couple of years.
TOP PICK
A juggernaut. Keep finding ways of getting bigger. A wonderfully managed company. The superstores have hurt their margins, but a great investment and closes off WalMart. If the market gets tumultuous, this is a good steady stock to own.
BUY
A stock that you can put away and forget about. Exceptionally good management. Good long term growth strategy.
BUY
Tremendous management. Great long term track record. Probably looking at 10/15% per annum share growth over the long term. Low risk.
DON'T BUY
Doesn't own any food chains. Loblaws is the class of the industry, but too high priced for him.
TOP PICK
Well managed. Great track record of 15 to 20% earnings growth. Pays a dividend of 20/25% of earnings.
BUY
Prefers Loblaws over others. Higher valuations, buy it pays to own the best.
BUY
Has been trading sideways for awhile because of investors worries about Wal Mart. The most innovative and best marketer of food in North America.
DON'T BUY
Valuation is fair and has been getting better with the drop in stock prices. Still not at the level for his BUY range.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Would consider buying more in the $60/61 range. A high multiple with a yield of only 1%. The premier company in their sector.
TRADE
Recommend the stock. Solid and steady earnings.
DON'T BUY
Q: Is a good way to play this is by buying Weston? A: Loblaws is fairly priced right on their model price. Weston's model price is $20 lower than the present stock price. Earnings on both companies are coming down.
BUY
In the broad context of the market, this is a nice place to hide. Won't be as volatile as many other sectors. Dominates the grocery store industry. You'll never get it dirt cheap.
TOP PICK
Has always traded at a premium in its price to earnings multiple which is legitimate because it has so much scope and is so powerful. Stock price is down because of a price war in Québec. Has a lot of depth and staying power.
