About Empire Company Limited

Empire Company Limited is a Canadian food retailing and real estate company based in Stellarton, Nova Scotia. Through its grocery subsidiary Sobeys, it operates supermarket and convenience store banners such as Sobeys, Safeway, IGA, Foodland, FreshCo and Farm Boy, serving shoppers across Canada with food, pharmacy and general merchandise. The company also holds an interest in a real estate investment trust that owns commercial properties, many anchored by its own stores. Its operations span retail stores, distribution and related food businesses.

The shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada under the code EMP-A, and the price on this page is in Canadian dollars (CAD). Our dividend records, which start in 2019, show payments in 8 different calendar years. The Market X-Ray on this page is price-based and compares it with other stocks on the same exchange; it does not measure how healthy the business is.

Oscillators use the usual thresholds (RSI 30/70, Stochastic 20/80, CCI ±100, Williams %R −80/−20; MACD and momentum above zero are bullish). Weekly and monthly views use closing prices only.
