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.

HOLD
The fixed line business is under pressure. There is a move to Voice over Internet.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 8/05. Down 15.5%.) Wireless connections were smaller than expected. Dividend is a little less attractive with interest rates going up. Still likes for the dividend and the cash flow.
SELL
Long term outlook for the company is negative. You'll get the yield, but you won't get the growth. All the telecoms are getting killed by competition with the cable companies as well as Voice Over Internet (VoIP). Long distance margins are pretty well nil.
DON'T BUY
Hasn't shown much growth over the last few years.
DON'T BUY
His model price is $26.67 which is a 10% differential and feels it is still overvalued. Earnings estimates continue to erode.
HOLD
If Ottawa makes it tougher on income trusts this could be a positive on dividend stocks. Holds this in his portfolio as a defense in case the market should go down. Dividend yield of 4.25%. Will not do great in a bull market.
BUY
Just bought a large amount because of the good dividend and a defensive pick. The wireless end is growing tremendously and there is a lot of upside potential on it. Expects the media property will be sold.
WEAK BUY
The period of seasonal strength is from the end of September to the end of January. Technically it had a pop on rumours that it might become an income trust and is looking a bit toppy here. Fundamentals are marginally positive.
BUY
Just started buying this one again. Could go the trust route. Not worried about this one. Dividend flow seems assured. There's the opportunity to spin off some of those old assets.
TOP PICK
Finally starting to see some catalysts to improve shareholder value. Making more clearcut statements about selling their rural lines, coming to a resolution regarding some of their subsiduaries. Likes their joint venture with Rogers (RCI.MV.A-T).
TOP PICK
The dislike by the market is very much reflected in the stock price. A safe haven. The return in this stock could easly be double digit over the next 12 months. Has made some progess in cleaning up.
HOLD
Warming up to it. Good dividend is in excess of 4%. It is extraordinarily cheap compared to interest sensitive utilities, pipelines and other telcos. If they can do something creative such as spinning off assets and becoming more competitive in the VoIP area it could be intriguing. Would like it at $30/31.
TOP PICK
There's some excitement about it possibly changing into an income trust. Making a lot of money on wireless, internet and satellite. If it changes, could see the stock pop up to the $35 level.
DON'T BUY
A 4% yield. Yield stocks hold their value as people want yield. To him it is overvalued. Model price is about $28. It has been moving up, but there is a lot of value elsewhere.
DON'T BUY
While it has been trading $27/30 for quite some time and pays a good dividend, you are giving up growth opportunity while everything else has been doing particularily well. Has been a classic under performer over the last 3 years.
