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
Has not positive on the stock, but is starting to look at it. There is uncertainty about voice over internet. If it traded over $30 for awhile, he might get interested.
WEAK BUY
Raised their dividends. Their is competition coming in like voice over internet. 4.5% dividend. Difficult to see this stock doing much more than 5/10% a year.
DON'T BUY
Wire line numbers were better than expected for Telus (T-T) but even more so for BCE (BCE-T). Wireless on the other hand was better for Telus, but not so good for BCE. These large caps, grinding sideways, do not offer a lot of potential.
DON'T BUY
The wire line business is going through a decline. Expects it will ultimately cut its dividend.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top PIck Jan 26/05. No change.) Was concerned with the market, so played chicken.
WEAK BUY
Increased dividends for the 1st time in 10 years. Feels management was trying to say that they had stabilized their businesses. Dividend is safe. Have significantly turned the company around. Not a growth story. Running really hard and fast with Voice Over IP, although regulators have been slow to approve and cable has started using it. Whole issue is kind of muddy.
WEAK BUY
A solid franchise. What is attractive is the dividend yield and the growth of that dividend. Over the long term, looking at their services, wire line, wireless, television, that's where there's some risk. Plenty of cash to support the dividend.
TOP PICK
A really good conservative play. 4.5% dividend. 12/13 X next year's earnings. Looking for a target price in the $33/34 range. The downside would be a bigger than expected switch from their legacy phones to newer technology.
WEAK BUY
Have not been a fan of this stock for some time, but now starting to warm up to it. The fundamentals are starting to get better and they are starting to get a little more focused. If they sold off Bell Globe Media, he would probably buy.
BUY
Probably won't hurt you. Doesn't think it will have a huge upside, but you get the dividend and would expect the stock price to appreciate a little bit over 2/3 years.
DON'T BUY
Used to own, but sold when it became apparent that there would not be much movement in the stock.
HOLD
Be patient. It's trying to get going. Still in a slight uptrend.
TRADE
Long distance is a great cash cow but is a dying business. However has a 4.5% dividend. (Question was would he short it. He would not, due to the dividend).
TRADE
Riskier pick than MBE
DON'T BUY
Not sure when they will be spinning off Bell Globe Media. A lot of competition from voice over internet protocol. Would consider it at $26/27.
