BCE Inc. (BCE.TO)

High profits in terms of ROE, low risk and strong balance sheet. Good earnings, too. They have big cell phone and media businesses. Demand is steady. They will likely keep growing their dividend by 5% annually. Sleep well owning this.

Attractive dividend yield (above 7%) that is safe.
Expecting further growth in profits and dividend. 
Good time to buy shares.
Owns shares in company. 

If you own it, continue to hold and collect the dividend. When interest rates go down, this will probably do better. You could buy a bit now. Be careful, and get out if it drops below $50. Yield's good. See his Top Picks for a yield play.

Telco's tough with higher interest rates.
Stable dividend, but don't expect major capital growth.
Good time to invest with share price weakness.
Demand for 5G and media products not going away. 
7% dividend yield fairly safe - expected to rise.

Free cashflow blues right now. Needs interest rates to fall, or regulatory certainty, and he's not sure either will happen right away. Still pricey at 17x PE, modelling flat EPS growth, and only 3% revenue growth. More downside than upside. You could pick away at it for the dividend. Won't do your portfolio's heavy lifting over the next 12 months.

Owns shares in Bell Media.
Thinks business is strong. 
Dividend is safe.
Increase in Canadian population good for business.
Good time to buy on share price weakness. 

Numbers today were roughly in line with expectations. Focus on the long term. Aggressive price competition coming in the space. Telus and BCE will be impacted the most, earnings will soften. Immigration won't be enough to offset the hit.

High quality, blue chip. Strong and recognized brand. Conservative investment. Stable, recurring revenue. Diversified cashflows from its many businesses. Lower debt than peers. Stable management. High 5-year profitability close to 20%, whereas the TSX is 12%. Yield is 6.9%.

Loves the dividend of 6.75%, happy to hold. Share price has been tough lately, as with most telcos. In a rising rate environment, these dividends look less attractive. Hopefully, these names will look better in 2024 with lower rates.

The Wall Street Journal reported on lead sheafing (a health hazard) on cables in the U.S. This will costs ATA& and Verizon a lot to replace those cables. Canada is different with more advanced, newer cables, so the problem is smaller here. Rather, subscriber numbers, profitability and competition--all three look decent to him. Pays a 6.8% dividend which means doubling your money in 10 years. We could see a general pullback, so buy a tranche now.

Likes the space for income. Expects a bit of capital appreciation. Rogers buying Shaw may increase competition. Immigration should offset short-term price competition. Yield is 6.6%. 

Debt servicing costs are going up. Regulatory environment in Canada is uncertain. Consolidation in the communication space, driving price competition. Market share gains are really tough. As interest rates tick higher, dividend yield is less compelling when you can get the same return from bond-type investments.

It is a sideways moving stock in a trading range so buy at the bottom. He just bought it recently. Since it pays a 6 1/2 % dividend you can afford to hold it during the sideways movement. With sideways stocks in a trading range you know the downside.

Good for long term investors.

Media business with semi-strong assets. 
Performance of business is good. 
Business consistently generating profits.
Good long term investment.
