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
Has engineered a restructuring for the last 24 months or so and are now converting to a trust. Would wait to see how it looks down the road.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 7/06. Up 15.9%.) Going forward towards the income trust, the stock will drift back up into the mid $30’s. The trust will give you better than an 8% yield.
BUY
Nice defensive stock. Technically, it has been in a range. Hasn't done much in the past year. Has broken out on speculation of becoming a trust. Has just announced it will become a trust. Technically, it could trade up to $34-$35.
DON'T BUY
Has a telephone business that is going to be gradually weakening long-term.
BUY
This stock was unloved for a long time. Dividend is good. Balance sheet is looking better. It is a very stable stock to hold during troubled times. Recommends holding if you own and buying if you don't.
DON'T BUY
On his watch list. This is not one he is close to owning. They are making a lot of changes and is certainly worth watching.
HOLD
Disappointed in the company. Although it has a high yield, he had been looking for an exit point. There is now a possibility of becoming an income trust which would move it up to $35/36.
HOLD
Had a nice pop which is solely related to Telus (T-T) announcing its conversion to an income trust. Shareholders of this company are hoping it will do the same.
HOLD
Prefers Telus (T-T). They spun off Bell Atlantic as an income trust but doesn't think they will turn themselves into a trust.
DON'T BUY
Dead money. His model price is $24.80. A negative 12% differential. The model price has been going down.
BUY
By spinning out Bell Aliant (BA.UN-T) into an income trust, this gives them more exposure into the wireless business. Good dividend yield. Not a bad place to be in a commodity rich environment.
SELL
This company is the laggard in the telecom services business. They have significant exposure to wire line and wire line telephones is a contracting business. Was not able to rally during the bull market for the last 3 years.
HOLD
Facing some challenges. The appeal is the very high dividend. The spin out of Bell Aliant (BA.UN-T) was a good move on their part but didn't lift the stock as had been expected. Competition continues to increase in the whole telecom sector. Cheap.
HOLD
Doing an interesting job of turning around the operation. There is erosion in their long-distance and some of their local business. The real growth driver is Bell Mobility. Yield is just below 5%. Not a growth stock.
BUY
At 12.2 X this year's earnings and with the yield of almost 5%, it represents an interesting defensive play in this uncertain market.
