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.

T-<Telus>
WEAK BUY
His fair market value calculation is about $31-$32, so it doesn’t have a lot of upside. It does have a nice dividend.
DON'T BUY
Doesn’t have a substantial amount of growth. Pays a very big dividend, which would be good for an income portfolio. A lot of their flagship business is deteriorating.
TOP PICK
Company is worse in the mid-$30’s by the time management sells off the assets it plans to. Good yield.
TOP PICK
(A top Pick Oct 12/06. Down in 11.7%.) Looked like it was going to be a trust. Solid dividend yield supported by earnings. Selling off some of their pieces that have created a discount in the stock price.
BUY
With all the changes in the trust sector, it is not sure what they're going to do now. Hardwired regular phones and long-distance calls are declining. Very attractive dividend yield.
BUY
Will not be changing into an income trust, so will have to think of something new now. Was punished and is a reasonably good buy now. Yield is very competitive.
DON'T BUY
Not a fan of this company. Doesn’t think management has executed very well.
WEAK BUY
Really for an income type portfolio. OK for a high dividend yield. Their telephone business is showing a decline, but their mobility business is an area of growth. If you really want growth, look at Telus (T-T).
BUY
A lot of things they can fix up to improve results short term. Wire line still has some issues, but new management did a fantastic job at Telus (T-T) so wireless will pick up a little market share from Rogers (RCI.B-T).
SELL
Now that they have announced they are going to become a trust, he doesn't see much upside in it. All the good news is already in it.
COMMENT
Telus (T-T) and BCE (BCE-T) are converting into trusts. What is going on with Telus as far as their payout ratio goes looks very attractive and there is probably better growth prospects. Would opt for Telus between the two.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 26/05. Up 8.2%.) Continuing to evaluate it.
TOP PICK
Should be able to get an 8.5% yield. Once it converts, if you go to $35/36.
DON'T BUY
This company was overvalued. He has a model price of $27. There is an increase in the model price because analysts are now getting the taxes out of the income. A -16% differential.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
There may be a further pullback because of fears the government might interfere with the tax structure of income trusts. $32 would be a good price.
