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.

ATD-T

BUY

Bakery assets are attractive because they are coming through a wee bit of a cycle because of the Atkins diet phase and the sell of in the last couple of years.

BUY

A wonderful stock. You can buy it when it's cheap against Loblaws and vice versa.

TRADE

Investors are getting defensive. They are buying things like Weston's and Loblaws which tells you a little bit about the market environment.

BUY

With this, you are buying a proxy on Loblaws which is hitting new 52 wek highs. Trading at 17 X earnings which is not too bad. The bakery business has been hurt by the Atkins diet craze. Just got a 5% pricing increase from Wal Mart.

TOP PICK

70% of its valuation is due to its holding of Loblaws. A bankruptcy of a major US bakery will be good for them. Loblaws is extremely well positioned. Should be able to withstand the onslaught of Wal Mart. PE ratio is reasonable.

BUY

Had good numbers. Feels the low carb is a fad. Would consider at this price.

DON'T BUY

Recently sold their holdings. An excellent company, but saw the dynamics of the baking business changing. Buyers of bread like Walmart are consolidating.

TRADE

Loblaws is doing OK, but the bakery side is suffering. People moving away from carbs may already be built into the stock.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past top pick June 21/04. Down 5.6%.) Hoping that the Atkin's diet craze will fade and the US bakery will pick up. A very good way to get exposure to Loblaws. Book value of $37.

DON'T BUY

Q: Is a good way to play Loblaws is to buy Westons? A: Loblaws is fairly priced right on their model price. Weston's model price is $20 lower than the present stock price. Earnings on both companies are coming down.

DON'T BUY

Valuation of $58-$70 so the stock is too high at this price. Not very liquid and tends to be institutionally owned.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Tremendously well run. Stock price has been dropping, but still not in his value range.

BUY

Has been hit with the low carb diet craze, but this has brought the price down so that it is quite inexpensive. Well-run and very profitable.

TOP PICK

A better value way to play Loblaws. Bakery situation in the US has pulled them back. Expect this will turn around. Good price.

TOP PICK

Had a big drop because of the Atkins diet but, their core business is Loblaws. Expect it will go sideways for a while. Has been under a lot of pressure so, at a good price.
