This summary was created by AI, based on 45 opinions in the last 12 months.

BCE Inc. has faced significant challenges in the telecom sector, including competitive pressures and a recent dividend cut of 56%. Many analysts view the company as more of an income story rather than a growth story, highlighting its potential for stability and yield in a defensive portfolio. Investors have mixed opinions on whether to hold or sell the stock, with some considering it a buying opportunity due to its attractive yield of around 5-5.7%. There are ongoing concerns regarding valuation and competition, particularly against emerging players like Starlink and Freedom Mobile. While a turnaround strategy focusing on fiber and AI initiatives has been initiated, the overall outlook for BCE remains cautious as it navigates these industry hurdles.

WATCH
During the discussion on buyouts for the next couple of months, there will be an opportunity to get out at a higher price.
DON'T BUY
Sold all his holdings on the recent spike. Would buy it back if it was at $30.
HOLD
There is potential here for more news. Near the top of its range.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 29/06. Up 9%.) This was for a 10% yield including dividends and capital gains. He is now considering switching to Telus (T-T).
DON'T BUY
Generally dislikes the Telco sector. It has a lot of overcapacity. It has tremendous free cash flow. Will be spending close to $1 billion in capital expenditures. Will be able to start bundling packages similar to cable companies.
BUY
Not a high-growth story. Market was disappointed in their wireless originations last quarter. Have a bit of an opportunity now with the new ruling by the CRTC on the portability of cell phone numbers. Good dividend.
DON'T BUY
Not a fan. Range bound at about $27-$30. Losing land line subscribers left, right and centre.
DON'T BUY
Has a higher yield than Telus (T-T), but a lower growth profile. Would have made no money on this, in the last 5 years.
HOLD
History of this stock is not good, however, new management is doing a much better job. This won't be a growth stock. Wouldn't buy, but if you one at a very low-cost, Hold.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 29/06. Up 12.3%.) He would still buy this for dividend oriented accounts.
DON'T BUY
Has been in a holding pattern. The big challenge is how they're going to grow. Being attacked on all fronts. Earnings growth is not there. 4.75% yield.
COMMENT
Problem is that there is no real catalyst. A good dividend story, which is why people own it. Indicated they may raise dividends. No growth.
DON'T BUY
Have sold off asset after asset after asset. They now have this big wad of cash and she is afraid of what they are going to do with it. Good dividend. There won't be much growth.
DON'T BUY
A tremendous free cash flow business. A stable dividend at around 5%. Sees decay in the landlines. A lot of competition. Prefers the cable companies.
DON'T BUY
If you are holding, and writing call options against it, that is fine. If you are buying for capital appreciation, there are better places to be.
