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.

BUY

Should be a core holding in a portfolio. Low growth, but pays a great dividend. You're buying stability and income. Shares may rise 2-4% a year + the dividend. Alternatives don't pay as much and are riskier.

HOLD

Rocking and rolling. Dividends in Canada are in favour. People want boring, safety, stability. He also owns Telus. Not the best ideas, but nice anchors to have in your portfolio.

BUY

Great franchise. Telecom stocks have started to rebound a bit. Increases dividend over time, which is important with rising rates. More for income, with only some capital growth. Good cashflow, wireless is one of the best. Nice dividend at 5.6%.

HOLD

A defensive dividend player. It will do fine. Slow dividend grower. Growing earnings at 5-6%. Not most inflation-protected, but a workhorse. You also need significant dividend growth of 10-14% a year in your portfolio. A volatility dampener. Look for dividend growers, as that's the theme that will benefit you the most in a rising rate environment. Good yield of 5.5%.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Revenues missed estimates slightly by $14M. EPS came in at 60 cents, which beat estimates of 58 cents. Revenues and EBITDA has recovered to pre-pandemic levels despite a 25% reduction in wireless pricing. Digital revenues grew strongly. Overall a good quarter. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

Clients ask him why he owns boring stocks compared to others which shoot up. Well, you need shock absorbers to give you steady returns. BCE's business won't evaporate tomorrow and it pays a nice, rising dividend. Everybody should own some portion of boring stocks, which provide a foundation to build and to allow friskier stocks to invest in.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. A mix of BCE and Telus is probably a good choice for exposure in the telco space. They should be able to pass inflation on to the end customer. They should also increase distributions to shareholders to offset inflation. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

It's near its all-time high. It's a very steady company. Still buying it, averaging into it. Pays a steady 5.5% dividend.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks I don’t like the telecoms as a whole, because they enjoy an oligopoly and overcharge Canadian customers, but at least BCE offers stability, predictable growth and pays a safe 5.41% dividend. Read 4 Popular Headline Stocks for our full analysis.

BUY

It came off recent highs and offers good value at these levels. It would get hit in a general pull back, but the income is very attractive compared to other dividend plays.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks It helps that BCE is more diversified, owning TV channels and networks. It also helps that BCE owns the phone lines that all the telecoms use (um, isn't that a conflict-of-interest?). Tailwinds will be the 5G roll-out and higher roaming charges in the phone businesses once cross-border travel picks up. Both are worth buying and forgetting about, but BCE gets the edge. Read The Battle for Rogers and 4 Other Telecom Stocks to Consider for our full analysis.

WEAK BUY

He thinks it is a name you could hold for dividend income. They have heavily invested in fiber and he thinks you will start to see some return on that.

BUY

BCE vs. T Likes telecoms in general, giving a mix of some growth with very good dividend yields. Telus yield looks secure, with about a 5% growth rate. Yield about 4.4%. He prefers BCE, with a yield of 5.44% and its consistent cashflow and growth. Media, sports teams, and different networks are helpful to BCE's growth.

BUY

BCE vs. AT&T Not as much leverage as AT&T. Great job ramping up Fibe. Canada has an oligopoly in the telco space. Not as high a yield as AT&T, but much less risk.

BUY

Question about Telus He likes the telcos and prefers BCE. Telcos pay big yields, are stable yields and enjoy an oligopoly in Canada. Shaw is selling to Rogers (pending approval). Quebecor wants spectrum outside Quebec. And all companies are investing heavily in 5G. Once this is complete, the telcos will be golden. He loves this space. Telus is good, but lacks the media assets of BCE, which is a disadvantage.
