Missed recent earnings. In a market like this, you want to be exiting, not adding to positions. Not best of breed right now, not growing, dead money. Put your money into growth stocks in the next cycle. You want a nice growth rate at the same PE.

The pullback is an opportunity. It's recession-proof. If you see a downturn ahead, now is the time to start building defensive positions. It's the biggest grocer with a fantastic pharmacy business (Shoppers Drug Mart). He sees decent growth. (Analysts’ price target is $78.50)

vs. Maple Leaf Foods MLF has exposure to commodity prices so it is a little cyclical. Loblaw offers slow growth but stable. MFI is probably getting hit by the coronavirus, but investing in plant-based protein which is promising. He wants to see MLF this plays out before investing.

All the grocers pulled back in the last quarter given higher competition which lowers product prices. Trades at 15x earnings. Can grow 8-10%. They have online delivery now. That said, studies show that people still prefer to go to stores to buy groceries. She also likes the Shoppers Drug Mart chain; their Optimum card program works well to promote cross-selling with Loblaws. (Analysts’ price target is $75.91)

Made a big move in late-October 2018 during a huge move to defensive stocks. It's been positive yet underperformed the market since then. It's pulled back a little recently. Loblaw is in a competitive space. Wait till summer seasonality before considering it. Support is at $65. Not fond of it.

The staples are starting to round over after peaking a few months ago. He guesses that Loblaw has been trading above its moving average this year. If this breaks below that 200-day, then bail out.

Earnings miss? She owns Loblaws instead of Empire, who just commented how competition is increasing. The recent stock pullback might just be a re-calibration of earnings metrics following the release of an earnings miss.

Loblaw vs. Empire vs. Metro Owns none. It's a toss-up. Metro is the best. Loblaw has had fits and starts. Empire is the dark horse, bouncing back from operational problems. One is as good as the others. Metro is good for the very long-term. But Empire for the shorter-term.

Metro vs. Empire She owns Loblaw instead. The sector is defensive, so it's done well this year. She likes Shoppers Drug Mart, hence Loblaw, for its cross-selling via their Optimum rewards card. She prefers Metro of the two, but thinks Loblaw is better.

The largest grocery retailer nationally. It is a nice consumer name. It is not unreasonably priced at 16 times forward earnings. They have scale, great locations and loyalty program, and they have their digital initiatives. (Analysts’ price target is $72.10)

Competition is fierce from Walmart, Costco, Amazon. Has come up since it's in consumer staples. Low beta, decent dividend, but not a lot of growth ahead of it. He'd look at Dollarama or Couche-Tarde instead. Also, Ontario minimum wage increase has been a detriment.

The supermarket stocks Loblaw is the best. Empire made an acqusition in 2012 but had issues with it; they are good but lack a decent discount franchise. Loblaw has combined with Shoppers Drug Mart as food and value are a good match these days, and this has expanded margins. The Optimum loyalty card helps these businesses. Also, Loblaw's No Name products are strong sellers, and No Frills is a solid discount chain. Loblaw has the full package. Also, they are a big real estate player.
