Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Consumer SentimentManagement attributed last quarter's better-than-expected comp to early signs of a slightly better consumer as food inflation stabilizes and interest rates begin to come down.
Earnings GrowthThere is potential for further narrowing the valuation discount if EMP can demonstrate consistent 8-11% EPS growth.
ExpansionManagement indicated new store openings will double, reflecting growth with more net new FreshCo sites in Western Canada.
Bears Say
Consumer RecoveryThere remains significant uncertainty on the shape of a potential consumer recovery.
SSS GrowthA good part of the SSS catch-up trade may have already played out, limiting future gains from this factor.
ValuationEMP continues to trade at a wider-than-historical discount to Loblaw and MRU, despite recent improvements.
