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.

ATD

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.
