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

BCE Inc. is viewed as a stable yet challenged investment, primarily recognized for its high dividend yield of around 5%, which many see as a reliable income source amidst current pressures in the telecom sector. The company has faced significant stock price declines due to increased competition, especially from emerging technologies like Starlink, leading to a cut in its dividend by 56% to maintain a sustainable payout ratio. While many experts highlight BCE's potential in the AI and data center space, they express caution about its core operations, with concerns over limited growth prospects and competitive pricing pressures. The consensus is that BCE may serve better as a defensive investment with modest future appreciation rather than as a growth stock. Analysts suggest monitoring BCE's strategic moves in the evolving telecom landscape, including its recent US acquisition and infrastructure investments, to gauge long-term viability.

We're in a tough environment. He wants big dividends and a stable business. Win by playing defense. 52-week low today. Wireless is performing well, record low churn, roaming is back, fibre journey is more than 50% complete. On cusp of becoming an infrastructure-light, cashflow generator. Yield is 6%. (Analysts’ price target is $68.46)

It has an extremely good dividend yield and is therefore a good income stock. He pared back a little because of concern over rising interest rates but is adding back now since it is well valued. Also adding to Telus.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks BCE, owned by Bell which owns the phone lines that the internet runs on (though everyone ignores this conflict of interest) pays a 5.82% dividend, trades at 19.6x earnings and at a super-low 0.34 beta. BCE stocks, too, are wallowing around 52-week lows of $63, but the stock has beaten or met all of its last four quarters. Read 3 defensive stocks weather uncertain markets for our full analysis.

Apple vs. BCE for income Certainly, BCE generates income (he owns it), despite minimal revenue growth, though it's well-run. 5G may give it a bump. Pays a super yield. You don't buy Apple for income (the yield is low), but rather it's a growth company. The two stocks are yin-and-yang, but offer good diversity in a portfolio.

TSX has been rocking and rolling. Good for dividend and defensive portfolios, but not his best idea. He's not a fan of paying high multiples for a low-growth businesses just because others are nervous.

Large capex spend this year will finally finish fibre to the home, a tremendous advantage over cable. Good job in wireless. Trading high. Likes long-term vision, assets, management. Defensive in this environment. Yield of 4.5-5% is going to increase.

Trading at the top end of the PE range of telcos. 5G is going to be a big advantage. This is important, as they've spent lots of money on it, but it will benefit topline growth. Core businesses continue to do well. Nice yield of over 5%.

He is bullish on Telcos which do well in this environment. Some clients own BCE in their portfolios. Valuations are high and the dividend is not necessarily fully covered today but hopefully in a year. He prefers Telus which is better run with interesting assets and certainty of dividend growth.
