This summary was created by AI, based on 45 opinions in the last 12 months.

BCE Inc. has been facing significant challenges, including a recent dividend cut aimed at bolstering cash flow for investments, particularly in the U.S. market. Expert reviews highlight that while the stock offers a decent dividend yield of approximately 5%, it's viewed more as an income-generating asset rather than a growth opportunity. Concerns regarding competitive pressures in the telecommunications sector, especially with increasing competition from players like Freedom Mobile and regulatory hurdles, have emerged as notable headwinds. Many analysts maintain a cautious outlook, suggesting that the stock could stabilize in the long term but may not witness substantial upside in the near future. Overall, while there are opportunities for operational improvements and strategic pivots, uncertainty remains about BCE's ability to reclaim previous growth trajectories.

Telus, T
BUY
A cheap stock, compared to its competition. Trades at about 13 X next year's earnings. Good yield at 4.7%. Has been a flat line stock for some time. Needs an improvement in business spending and more demand for its services.
HOLD
A lot of issues facing the company. Well run. Running hard and fast to keep up with dramatic industry changes such as voice over IP. If it moves up to low $30's, SELL.
DON'T BUY
Haven't been a fan for quite a while. Low to no growth. 4% yield is OK, but you do better in the utility area.
SELL
Telecom sector outlook is one of extremely slow growth or even declines. Dividend is safe. After the dividend is declared in December, would look for something with more growth.
BUY
Love the wireless sector so have been adding to their position. Restructuring has been a little bit slower than what they had wanted. Sector is undervalued.
WEAK BUY
Pays a hefty dividend. Has quite a collection of assets and is worth more than what the stock trades at. Very little growth.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 12/04. No change.) Looking for an increase in their dividends.
HOLD
A very safe stock. Really unexciting. Doesn't see any catalyst for the stock to move up.Dividend might be increased next month.
BUY
Feels that dividends will be increased. Doesn't expect much downside and could have a bit of a move up. The telecom sector has been in a pit for 3/4 years and are now making progress.
HOLD
Good dividend yield which will probably be kept up. Was once a big fan, but is now more circumspect. If the right events happen, the stock could move into the low $30's. Internet telephony could be a big problem.
BUY
Prefers over Manitoba Telecom. Has been flat lined for quite a while which reflects the uncertainty in the telecoms. Could be awhile before it starts to perform, but in the meantime you get a 4% dividend.
DON'T BUY
Has had disappointing management for quite some time which has been in unrelated businesses. Now divesting themselves of these.
HOLD
The underlyiong business, such as telecom, internet, wireless, etc. are good areas. Trading at 13 X earnings which is not too bad a price for a stock yielding over 4%.
WEAK BUY
Interesting here. Of all the telcos it is the most likely one to be successful, but not a slam dunk.
WAIT
Since 2002 has been doing some base building, so this may be an indication that something could happen. An important breakout would be in the upper $28 or $29.
