This summary was created by AI, based on 15 opinions in the last 12 months.

Loblaw Companies Ltd is viewed as a solid defensive investment, particularly due to its position as the largest grocery and pharmacy retailer in Canada. The company has been focusing on its private label offerings, which have shown strong margins, and Shoppers Drug Mart, its pharmacy division, is contributing positively to growth. Despite some concerns about the competitive landscape and inflationary pressures in the grocery sector, analysts note the company's ability to maintain profitability and generate significant free cash flow. Some experts suggest that while the stock has performed well recently, it is currently trading at a high valuation, which may prompt caution for potential investors. Overall, Loblaw is seen as a reliable choice in uncertain economic times, although some analysts lean towards alternative investments within the sector.

MRU

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.

DON'T BUY

Not interested in owning either Sobeys or Loblaws. Not a fan of the retailing food industry.
