| SELL | 42.250 | Norman Levine | As a concept and a store he thinks they are great. As a stock he would be a little bit wary. Earnings were a little bit below what was expected but sales were stronger than expected. They charge premium prices and in a slowing economy people may go elsewhere. Competition will be getting greater. Would sell for the moment. | 2007-11-20 | |
| TOP PICK | 39.320 | Mike Lyons CA, CFA | Perfectly positioned in the long-term trend towards wealthier consumers paying more for better quality food. This one is the leader in the consumers’ mind. Likes its multiple of 1 X sales. A long-term hold. | 2007-07-20 | |
| DON'T BUY | 48.510 | Gavin Graham | Wonderful quality foods, but you need a big wallet. Trading at about 25 or 30 X earnings, which is very expensive. Slower growth. | 2006-12-07 | |
| BUY | 49.400 | Charles Lannon | This is the one grocer in North America that is quite attractive. Stock sold off significantly after their earnings report. Opening of new stores will accelerate over the next 2 years. Has industry leading margins. | 2006-11-17 | |
| DON'T BUY | 70.790 | Brian Acker, CA | Has a model price of $31.60. A -56% differential. | 2006-05-10 | |
| TOP PICK | 91.380 | Gretchen Lash | Thinks it can sustain 15% growth. Has had quite a run, so grab whenever you get an opportunity. | 2004-11-19 | |
