The latest update is out from George Weston ( (TSE:WN) ).

George Weston reported solid fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, supported by an extra week of operations and strong performance at Loblaw and Choice Properties. Revenue in the quarter rose 11.2% to $16.54 billion, adjusted EBITDA increased 10.7% to $1.89 billion, and adjusted diluted earnings per share climbed 15.2%, while reported net earnings fell due to an unfavourable fair value adjustment to its trust unit liability.

Loblaw gained market share as customer visits increased, e-commerce sales grew, and food retail same-store sales strengthened alongside robust beauty, OTC, specialty pharmacy, and healthcare services. Choice Properties delivered higher occupancy and cash flow from its grocery-anchored and industrial portfolio, executed $801 million of real estate transactions, expanded its leasable area, and signalled continued confidence with a fourth consecutive annual distribution increase, underscoring stable long-term value creation for investors.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:WN) stock is a Buy with a C$121.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on George Weston stock, see the TSE:WN Stock Forecast page.

George Weston scores well due to strong financial performance and positive technical indicators. However, the high P/E ratio suggests potential overvaluation, and increased financial leverage poses a risk. The absence of earnings call data and corporate events limits further insights.
