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

BCE Inc. has undergone significant changes recently, including a 56% dividend cut to reinvest in growth, particularly in AI and data centre infrastructure. While the dividend remains appealing for income-focused investors, many analysts express concerns about stock appreciation potential due to intense price competition within the telecom industry and pressures from new entrants like Freedom Mobile and Quebecor. Although BCE is noted as a key player among Canadian telcos, opinions diverge on its growth trajectory, with some seeing potential long-term benefits from its strategic shifts, while others believe the company's core business faces ongoing headwinds. The sentiment towards BCE suggests it is viewed more as a defensive income investment rather than a growth opportunity, leaving investors split on whether it represents a buying opportunity or a risk in the current market environment.

DON'T BUY
Have been selling off is there not crazy about the stock right now. Can see them getting into a price war, especially with cellular.
WATCH
Feels that the interest sensitive dividend paying stocks have been oversold. Inflation numbers are due tomorrow and if BCE sells off by $1/1.50, they may take the opportunity to buy.
DON'T BUY
Has been a very disappointing performer. The big question on Telcom's is voice over Internet affect on market share and margins. Attractive dividend yield.
DON'T BUY
Model price of $23.69.
DON'T BUY
Has a long downwards trendline which the stock tried to break through at around $29. Will probably retest the lows of $17/$18 from 2002.
DON'T BUY
A very good value stock, but he's a growth manager, so not interested. Good yield. Exposed to a lot of technology trends that would give him concerns.
DON'T BUY
Dividend is probably secure, but not a fan of this company. Expect they will have tremendous competition because of voice over IP.
BUY
In a trading range. Buy below $28 and sell when it nears $31. 4% yield. Has concerns for the long term with the competition.
HOLD
A good value stock. Has lagged lately. Decent dividend. Compared to US peers, it's the cheapest one. Wireless side is working out OK.
DON'T BUY
Dont own. No clear driver in earnings growth. Reduction in revenue.
HOLD
Wouldn't be buying at this level. Has been a dog. Poor dividend yeild.
DON'T BUY
Good dividend income. Starting to lighten up. Better off with companies in "voice over IP".
DON'T BUY
Changing from a possible income trust to an acquirer of another company has roiled the waters for both this company and BCE. Would avoid both at this time.
DON'T BUY
Fair market value is $30, so not much upside to it. 4% dividend. Would like to buy it around $22.
BUY
Doesn't like the competitive environment or the pricing in the telecoms.
