Loblaw lifts dividend 11.1% as retail cash flow supports sustainability
Loblaw, Canada’s largest food and pharmacy retailer, says dividend sustainability is backed by essential grocery and pharmacy demand and strong cash flow. After an 11.1% increase in dividend per share during FY25, it reports CAD 1.9bn in free cash flow from retail operations and CAD 1.88bn of share repurchases, while noting risks from regulation, margins, and labour costs.
