Loblaw stock carried a CAD 74.4 billion market value as of October 13, 2026. On September 23, 2026, GlobeNewswire reported that Loblaw had released its September Food Inflation Report, which put grocery inflation at 2.80 percent year over year.

Food inflation stays central

The report followed Statistics Canada's August consumer price data and highlighted El Niño, commodity volatility, seafood supply constraints and Canada-U.S. tariff measures as pressures that could affect food costs. Loblaw said it was helping customers identify tariff-affected products while emphasizing Canadian-made and Canadian-prepared goods, according to GlobeNewswire on September 23, 2026.

That report gives investors a direct operating context for the next results cycle: food prices remain a customer-affordability issue even as the grocery inflation rate slows. The figure also matters for Loblaw's discount banners, where value positioning is central to customer traffic and basket decisions.

Quarterly growth adds support

In the second quarter of 2026, revenue including PC Financial rose 4.10 percent to CAD 15.30 billion, while adjusted diluted earnings per common share increased 11.90 percent to CAD 0.66, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript dated July 30, 2026.

The same call said adjusted EBITDA increased 5.10 percent to CAD 1.90 billion and online sales grew 19.30 percent in the quarter. Management also expected adjusted net earnings per common share growth in the high single digits and planned CAD 2.10 billion of share repurchases during 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.

Targets sit above the Canadian quote

Analyst coverage remains constructive in the Canadian market. MarketBeat reported that National Bank Financial and TD set CAD 70.00 and CAD 75.00 targets in notes dated September 10, 2026, while Scotia raised its target from CAD 64.00 to CAD 67.00 in a report dated July 31, 2026.

The next reporting date identified in the earnings-call transcript is November 19, 2026. That date gives the market a defined checkpoint for the third-quarter outlook, including the effect of Loblaw's completed PC Financial transaction and its continuing store expansion.
