George Weston Ltd. (WN-T) is viewed by analysts as a stable investment during turbulent market conditions, particularly favoring its presence in the consumer staples sector. One expert has labeled it a 'Top Pick,' noting a recent uptick and suggesting it serves as a safe haven away from high-volatility stocks. While some perceive it as defensive and not likely to yield significant short-term gains, they appreciate its liquidity and hard assets. However, concerns linger regarding its holding company structure and associated risks, as well as potential negative impacts from public relations issues related to pricing strategies. In general, the company still commands a strong market share, yet analysts note that recent challenges in customer loyalty and product pricing could affect its outlook.

TOP PICK

New management has come in to Loblaws and cleaning out everything. They will look pretty tight and lean when they're done. If their earnings bounce back to the norm of $5, it looks extremely cheap.

TOP PICK

Recently replacing management with some top-quality changes. Making a very concerted effort on the supply chain management in Loblaws (L-T).

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 8/06. Down 18.9%.) Was too optimistic on Loblaw’s (L-T) turnaround.

TOP PICK

Has recovered from around $70 to the $78 level. Market not giving credit for the underlying strength that Loblaws (L-T) has, which has taken steps to write off a great deal of inventory and worked very hard on their supply chain. Weston’s bakery business in the US has shown some signs of improvement.

TOP PICK

Likes companies that are in a business that are going to relatively stable. Their Loblaws (L-T) holdings are taking a lot of action to get rid of excess inventory and put better tracking systems in place. Bringing in new management for this. Bakery business in the US is turning around.

DON'T BUY

One of the issues with this is that you have to feel comfortable where Loblaws (L-T) is as it is a very big chunk of their mix. Not a fan of Loblaws. It’s in a difficult situation.

BUY

Despite the fact that Loblaws (L-T) is the major component, Loblaws has changed management and upgrading their distribution channels. Have started buying this one.

DON'T BUY

Will pretty much track Loblaws (L-T). He likes the preferred shares, which he feels are pretty solid. Doesn't own the common.

DON'T BUY

They have to get their act together at Loblaws (L-T). Too early yet.

DON'T BUY

This is a question on how Loblaws will do. Wait a quarter or so to see how numbers are going to shake out. Senior executive changes were a little disturbing. Still has Wal-Mart competition to worry about.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 8/06. Down 20%.) This has basically being driven by Loblaws (L-T). He is weathering through the food orientation to discount.

TRADE

George Weston. Competitors have caught up to them, very competitive area.

TOP PICK

Buying a little less on return of equity, but paying a fair amount less for it. You have the food side through Loblaws (L-T), but you also have the bakery side.

DON'T BUY

This is a defensive play and the market seems to be gravitating towards defensive stocks. Feels there are better ways to play it until earnings get turned.

DON'T BUY

Principal asset is Loblaws (L-T) which has been struggling. Loblaw is doing the right thing on a long-term basis but execution has been very disappointing.
