This Is Why Loblaw Stock Fell Even as Profit Rose
Loblaw missed first-quarter revenue estimates, posting C$14.48 billion versus the expected C$14.55 billion, sending shares down 5%. Net earnings rose to C$594 million, and the company raised its dividend by 10% while approving a new buyback. Discount banners No Frills and Maxi drove growth as shoppers continued to trade down.
