Experts who have talked about Empire Company (A)

PAST TOP PICK53.950Barry Schwarrtz(Top Pick Sep 29/09, Up 29%) Expects really good earnings. Little food deflation did not stop good results. Dividend is up. Thinks it is the best performing grocery story.2010-08-10
PAST TOP PICK52.600David Baskin(Top Pick Jun 18/09, Up 14%) 3 main assets. Sobeys, Cromby and movie theaters. The companies are worth $80 a share if values individually. Nice dividend (increased) and solid earnings.2010-07-06
PAST TOP PICK52.650Barry Schwarrtz(A Top Pick Sept 29/09. Up 19.38%.) A lot of value in this company. High Cdn$ has created deflation in grocery stores so he expects weaker earnings this year. Expect it will turn around and there will be food inflation again. Not a lot of competition. Trades at a deep discount to Loblaws (L-T).2010-04-20
VAGUE52.650Douglas KeeFood stocks have done fairly well in this environment because they are defensive. They own a lot of real estate and that is why they have done so well. You need inflation for food retailers to do really well.2010-04-20
BUY51.710Barry SchwarrtzTook Sobey’s private in 2007 and that component is worth $75. Have done a spectacular job of turning the stores around. Gaining good market share.2010-03-24
PAST TOP PICK49.290Barry Schwarrtz(Top Pick Sep 29/09, Up 13%) Quality company. Management should look at spinning out Sobeys. Lots more upside on this stock. Valuation is cheap. Good record of raising dividends every year.2010-02-22
TOP PICK45.750David BaskinHas Sobey stores, Empire Theatres and part of Crombie REIT (CRR.UN-T). Suffers from a holding company discount. An analysis said that the Sobeys alone is worth $65.2009-12-15
PAST TOP PICK44.500Barry Schwarrtz(Top Pick Sep 29’09 Up 2.4%) Sobeys parent. Still likes it. Cleaned up their balance sheet. Stock is still down. They are the best performing food retailer in Canada yet trades at a 30% discount.2009-12-02
BUY45.040David BaskinAs with many conglomerates, the value of the assets is much higher than the value of the stocks. The value will come out over time. 1.6% dividend.2009-11-19
PAST TOP PICK43.280Barry Schwarrtz(A Top Pick Sept 29/09. Down 0.18 %.) Cheap. Still Buy.2009-11-10
BUY43.210David BaskinA core retail in that it will continue to grow in spite of the economy. Well managed. Has a record of increased dividends. Good, solid core holding.2009-10-27
TOP PICK43.670Barry SchwarrtzHolding company with main asset being Sobey’s, the best performing food retailer in Canada. Stock has not done well this year. Trading at 10X earnings versus its peers at 14X-15X. Raised its dividend regularly over the last 25 years. If the market doesn't recognize the value, Sobey’s family may spin out Sobey’s again. It's worth $75 a share and is only trading at $40.2009-09-29
Comment40.850Bruce CampbellThought they had overpaid when they had bought Sobey’s Food Stores. Stock has been weak since but is getting into a range where he would look at it again.2009-08-10
TOP PICK41.320David BaskinHave 3 legs. 1) Sobey stores, 2) Empire Theatres and 3) Crombie REIT (CRR.UN-T) which it controls. Very well run company. Paid a dividend every quarter since 1982. Did a share offering and has not recovered since.2009-07-27
TOP PICK47.000David BaskinGrocery stores. Took advantage of Loblaws (L-T) difficulties to increase Ontario market share. A lot of the plazas and malls where their anchored tenants, Sobeys, are located are owned by Empire or through their captive Crombie REIT. 2009-06-18
BUY48.740Michael SmedleyThis company is fine. One of the few select companies in the staples area in Canada. Good and solid.2008-12-31
Comment43.890Michael Smedley(Market Called Minute.) By if you are very conservative. Very blue chip family company.2008-08-01
DON'T BUY37.900Colin StewartThere is a general concern in the grocery store industry in Canada. A lot of fundamental pressures including Wal-Mart and Costco getting into groceries.2008-02-27
HOLD42.020Michael SmedleyRegards it as one of those very old, rich family organizations. Probably worth holding on. Fully priced.2007-12-12
DON'T BUY42.140Bruce CampbellFundamentals are fine. Doesn't like the valuation of it. It's fully priced.2007-06-05
BUY44.000Michael SprungReal estate and Sobey’s grocery stores. Sobey’s has been gaining market share. Not sure that the east coast real estate has been doing as well.2006-12-08
PAST TOP PICK41.500David BaskinUp 17%. Spinning their real estate into a REIT. Sobey stores have performed well. Stocks are a liitle expensive at this price. Be selective when buying. 2006-02-28
TOP PICK35.610David BaskinOwns the Sobey’s chain of grocery stores as well as a lot of real estate in Atlantic Canada. Trades at a discount to the value of its assets. A Conservative pick. 2005-12-19
