Shares of Loblaw and Metro—and many other grocers— fell on news that online retailer Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq symbol AMZN and a recommendation of Stock Pickers Digest) will buy organic grocery chain Whole Foods (New York symbol WFM). It will pay $13.7 billion U.S.
Investors fear that Amazon’s e-commerce expertise will let it capture a large share of the grocery retail business in the same way it has disrupted sellers of books, music and clothing.
However, Loblaw and Metro already let their customers order groceries online and pick them up at the store....

LOBLAW COMPANIES $71.45 (Toronto symbol L; Shares outstanding: 398.4 million; Market cap: $28.4 billion; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; Dividend yield: 1.5%; www.loblaw.ca) operates over 1,090 supermarkets and 1,325 Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacies across Canada.
The company’s shares are down, along with those of most other grocers, following an announcement by Amazon.com (symbol AMZN on Nasdaq and a recommendation of Stock Pickers Digest): the online company plans to buy organic grocery chain Whole Foods (symbol WFM on New York) for $13.7 billion in cash.

Amazon.com’s deal to buy Whole Foods has hurt the share price of these two competing retailers. However, we feel recent investments in their online businesses will help spur their earnings—and dividends. Amazon doesn’t offer a dividend, although we cover it in Stock Pickers Digest, our newsletter focused on aggressive investments.
