Empire Company Limited, through its extensive network of grocery stores across Canada and a significant real estate stake in Crombie REIT, occupies a strong second-place market position nationally. By executing on a three-pillar strategy—optimizing its physical stores, ramping up digital and data initiatives, and rigorously managing costs—Empire aims to deliver 8–11% annual adjusted EPS growth. Its differentiated multi-banner approach allows penetration into a broad spectrum of consumer segments, from full-service to discount and specialty. Complemented by disciplined capital allocation, marked by persistent share buybacks and 30 consecutive years of dividend increases, Empire’s value proposition centers on steady, defensive growth. Although trading at a valuation consistent with peers, the company’s strategic transformation and digital initiatives may be undervalued by the market.
