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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

COMMENT

BCE Inc.(BCE.TO)

Aug 10, 2021
The dividend is safe for now. It's not in a growth business, though it's protected within Canada (an oligopoly). Canadians pay unsemingly high rates for data; the excuse is it's expensive to build network. As Starlink uses low-orbit satellites to rural Canada (always used an excuse to charge high data rates), how will this challenge such rates? In some years, this may pose a risk to telecoms.

The market worries all these telcos are overpaying on spectrum. He predicts the Rogers-Shaw deal will happen. The telcos will benefit from 5G and should be held in a TFSA as you collect the good dividends.

Great yield, not excessively expensive at these levels. All telecoms will benefit from 5G. Value of having a strong internet business. Working from home put a lot of pressure on the system, and BCE has one of the best. All will face pressure to service rural areas.
