CANADA BREAD CO. LTD. $52 – Toronto symbol CBY

CANADA BREAD CO. LTD. $52 (Toronto symbol CBY; Conservative Growth Portfolio, Consumer sector; Shares outstanding: 25.4 million; Market cap: $1.3 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 0.8; Dividend yield: 3.8%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.canadabread.ca) is closing its bakeries in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, and Edmonton, Alberta. It will shift production from these facilities to other plants.

The company did not say how much these closures will save it. However, it expects to pay $6.3 million in severance and other related costs. That’s equal to 26% of the $24.2 million, or $0.95 a share, that Canada Bread earned in the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Canada Bread is still a hold.
