Sobeys (SBY.TO)

DON'T BUY
Cheap on a fair market value but, the earnings forecast trend has been going down, down, down. Also had a technical breakdown.
DON'T BUY
In an even more precarious shape than Loblaws Re: Wal-Mart. Have also had execution issues.
TOP PICK
Should be worth closer to fair value of $40. Could go higher. Good company at great price.
DON'T BUY
Have a lot of work to do to meet the competition.
DON'T BUY
Has expanded into Ontario by buying smaller chains but feels they are finding this new market's competition tougher than expected. Margins and earnings have suffered. Loblaws is now moving into the Maritimes.
DON'T BUY
Has had to struggle. Loblaws is a very strong competitor. A solid company, but there are more exciting places to invest.
DON'T BUY
Has grown in Ontario my acquisition which is expensive. Loblaws have been giving them strong competition in Ontario and out east.
WATCH
It's very cheap at 10X next year's earnings but, has a black cloud over it because of the black out last summer. Over the long term, could be a very interesting buy.
DON'T BUY
Not a bad company, but they are up against the juggernaut, Loblaws.
DON'T BUY
Would prefer Loblaws. Sobey’s could be affected more by competition.
WEAK BUY
Good operators. Have paid down the debt that was created by their acquisition. They tripped in the last quarter and blamed the blackout. This is questionable. Longer-term should do well. Would prefer Loblaw's.
DON'T BUY
They have too many issues. Expect the price will be cheaper down the road.
DON'T BUY
Prefers Loblaws.
WAIT
Profit warning in its last quarter. Cheap at 10 X earnings, but a “Show Me” story. Expect it will tread water for a while.
BUY
Have had a setback in earnings. Have done a pretty good job of consolidating the IGA stores. A pretty sound investment for the stable portion of someone's portfolio.
