Loblaw Companies Ltd is recognized as a dominant grocery and pharmacy retailer in Canada, with a significant market share especially through its Shoppers Drug Mart locations. Despite experiencing robust growth driven by food inflation and a focus on their private label offerings, several experts caution against the current valuation, suggesting it may be high. While the company shows resilience and innovation in retail, particularly with its No Frills and ethnic supermarkets, competitive pressures from Walmart and Costco remain a concern. Analysts appreciate its defensive nature during uncertain economic times, yet some prefer competing entities, indicating mixed sentiments towards Loblaw's future performance in relation to growth and value propositions.

HOLD
A great company to ride through a bear market. Very steady business. As the market starts to unfold, would prefer not to own it.
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.
