LOBLAW COMPANIES $42.01 – Toronto symbol L

LOBLAW COMPANIES $42.01 (Toronto symbol L; Shares outstanding: 281.8 million; Market cap: $11.8 billion; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; Dividend yield: 2.1%; www.loblaw.ca) started selling its popular Joe Fresh clothing and accessories in its supermarkets in 2006. It has also opened 20 stand-alone Joe Fresh stores in Canada and the U.S.

Sales of Joe Fresh products should rise sharply now that J.C. Penney (New York symbol JCP) has opened Joe Fresh boutiques inside nearly 700 of its 1,100 department stores in the U.S. (J.C. Penney is a recommendation of Wall Street Stock Forecaster, our newsletter that focuses on U.S. stocks.) Penney will also sell Joe Fresh products through its website.

Loblaw is a buy.
