MRU.A Another Good Meal from Metro

MRU ended F09 on a strong note, with Q4/F09 EPS of $0.77 (+19%),
beating RBC CM’ forecast of $0.73 and consensus of $0.72. The Q4/F09

MRU benefits from consumer trade-down; 3) apparent modest market share

Metro knows what they're doing and is a way better stock to invest in

shop at Loblaw or Loblaw affiliated stores. They are also the reasons
