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

DON'T BUY

Margins in this sector are quite thin. The premier company but looks a little expensive.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Expanded merchandising is an excellent strategy. Very efficient operation. Will take a hit on inventory loss during hydro failure, which could drop stock price. Pretty fully valued now.

BUY

Always seen to hit their targets. Still has growth ahead of it. Good long-term hold.

BUY

A very safe investment. A long track record of producing 20% earnings growth. Not much competition.

BUY

Prefers Sobey's although Loblaws is a better retailer.Has done a great job.Numbers suggest they're going to have a very good earnings year.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Expensive, but they know how to execute. Same store sales continues to grow.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Getting a little high. Try to buy in the mid $50's.

WEAK BUY

Valuation is very high. Prefers Sobeys. Could go up, but only by about 10%.

BUY

Food retailers have been doing fairly well. Would prefer to own Loblaws through Westons.

BUY

The only Canadian retailers he would consider are Canadian Tire and Loblaws.

BUY

This company shouldn't be hurt by the rising Canadian dollar.

DON'T BUY

17/18 times earnings which is a little pricey. If Sam's came in, it would not be helpful to the P/E. A first rate company.

WEAK BUY

Great franchise. Dropped because of defence money moving out. Good long term.

BUY

Try to buy in the low $50's. Well run.

BUY

Strong company. Great brand loyalty. More conservative investors may prefer George Weston.
