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>
DON'T BUY
He has a model price of $24.18 and his model price has come off substantially in the last few months as the new balance sheets come out. 8% negative differential.
DON'T BUY
The problem this company has had all the way through this rally is that they've had virtually zero revenue growth. The wire line phone business has had a difficult time generating a good return.
WATCH
Price to earnings is around 14 and has an excellent yield. Fairly close to buying it. There is some talk about deregulation of cable and telcos which could create a bitter war if it happens.
TOP PICK
4.5% yield. Stock price has gone nowhere for a dozen years. Likes the Aliant Trust with BCE’s rural lines becoming a trust will be a decent investment. Could eventually see it becoming an income trust.
WEAK BUY
Has been going sideways for a while with a little blip up lately. Although there is not a lot of growth, there is value with a 5% dividend. They will be putting their wire lines and Aliant into a trust which will create some value.
TOP PICK
The asset value, if you start adding up all the pieces, should be worth $32 or more. Have been doing the right things by selling things off, merging local lines with Aliant and spinning it off as a trust.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Won't have a large upside. Could easily get to $30/32 and with a 5% yield, you have a 12/15% annual return. Likes the assets and they can easily be fixed up.
HOLD
When it gets down to this level, it's cheap. The yield is 5% which will hold it in well. Doing all the right things.
DON'T BUY
Spinning off part of their assets into income trusts. Dividend is now almost 5%. He needs a trigger to say what is going to make the stock go up.
WAIT
Could see this drifting off to the $23/24 area. At that point, the yield would be very handsome and could put support under the company. Good defensive qualities.
BUY
Believes in this company. The dividend yield is so rich, 4% after-tax which is equivalent to a bond paying 8.5%. Not much growth. Expects a 15/20% upside in the next six months.
DON'T BUY
The problem they are facing right now is competition. The cable companies are doing a much better job in getting into residences. All you will get is the 5% dividend because the stock price won't go anywhere.
WEAK BUY
4.5/5% dividend yield. Growth outlook is not very good. His outlook is for only a 10% return.
DON'T BUY
She is struggling with the telecommunications sector and what to do with it. The attraction for this one is its dividend yield. Good cash flow generation. Spinning off some of its rural assets. A lot of competition.
WEAK BUY
Not really a growth stock. Holds some for its dividend. Long-distance is really being hurt by competition from other sources. They are trying to recognise value in their overall operations.
