Loblaw Companies Ltd (L-T) is considered a dominant player in the Canadian grocery and pharmacy markets, with experts highlighting its defensive nature, strong private label offerings, and notable acquisition of Shoppers Drug Mart, which has bolstered its profitability and market share. Despite facing challenges such as food inflation and competitive pressure from major players like Walmart and Costco, the company is seen as having a solid growth trajectory driven by its strong same-store sales and innovative strategies. However, some analysts caution that the stock's recent performance may have led it to become overvalued, suggesting a potential trim for existing investors. While there are mixed views on its short-term appeal amidst a backdrop of rising grocery costs, the company is often recommended for its stability and long-term prospects.

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.
