This summary was created by AI, based on 44 opinions in the last 12 months.

BCE Inc. has faced significant challenges, notably with a dividend cut that surprised many investors and raised concerns about its growth prospects amidst increasing competition in the telecom sector. Multiple experts view BCE as a defensive play primarily offering steady income through dividends, with a yield around 5%. While some analysts appreciate BCE's strategic moves into AI data centers and its restructuring plans, others express skepticism about growth potential and the company's ability to rebound significantly. Overall, there is a mixed sentiment, with some viewing it as a tactical buy due to its improved payout ratio and capital allocation, while others consider it risky and lacking in growth catalysts.

RCI.B
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.
BUY
Has been a really disappointing performer. Pays a 4½ dividend. Satellite, mobile and high-speed Internet are all doing well and this stock will start to reflect that.
DON'T BUY
Doesn't think it has substantial upside from here. Thinks the wireline sector is going to be struggling with voice over Internet.
DON'T BUY
The local and long-distance phone businesses are mature businesses subject to price competition from voice over Internet. Very difficult for them to grow.
HOLD
Has been in a very narrow trading range. Well-positioned in any economic recovery. Likes what management is doing refocusing the company on its core operations. The big challenge will be voice over Internet.
DON'T BUY
Fair market value is about $30/31, so not a lot of upside left. Trading at about 2X book value, which is an absolute maximum. What's holding it at this price is the 4½% dividend.
DON'T BUY
Not a big fan of telcos. Cable companies are wanting to get into their turf which is a signal that makes him nervous.
BUY
Have executed very well over the last two years. Likes management. Continuing to unwind non-core assets. Telecom sector is under pressure. Expect the stock will be higher two years out.
WEAK BUY
Havent made any money over past few years. Flat as a pancake. Best position.
WAIT
Similar earnings this year as last year. Wont be an increase in dividend. BCE ins tgoing anywhere in the near future. Working on telephone over the interent.
DON'T BUY
Fully valued. Model price is $28.
PAST TOP PICK
(A top pick Oct 30/03. No change.) A defensive pick. Likes the fact that they are focusing on their core businesses.
