BCE Inc. has been facing significant challenges, including a recent dividend cut aimed at bolstering cash flow for investments, particularly in the U.S. market. Expert reviews highlight that while the stock offers a decent dividend yield of approximately 5%, it's viewed more as an income-generating asset rather than a growth opportunity. Concerns regarding competitive pressures in the telecommunications sector, especially with increasing competition from players like Freedom Mobile and regulatory hurdles, have emerged as notable headwinds. Many analysts maintain a cautious outlook, suggesting that the stock could stabilize in the long term but may not witness substantial upside in the near future. Overall, while there are opportunities for operational improvements and strategic pivots, uncertainty remains about BCE's ability to reclaim previous growth trajectories.

Telus, T
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Very attractive yield of about 6%. Dividend is safe, and they've increased it each year and should continue to do so. Revenue should pick up as travel reopens. 5G phone upgrades will be beneficial. She's buying below $60. Single-digit growth plus the dividend gives a total return of just under 10%.
WEAK BUY
The payout is pretty high on their 5% dividend. If you want the yield it is a good option, though.
HOLD

You have to see how the AMZN partnership goes. They have to deal with the costs of getting up to speed with 5G. There is lots of capital expenditures. He owns other telecoms. The dividend is good and is growing.

BUY
An expensive stock at 18.4x PE. Earnings will grow as wireless gets better. Their core business is more landline. Investing heavily to build. This investment will benefit them with the 5G tailwinds coming. They will make their dividend and will grow it. A prudent buy in a market that has rewarded high flyers. It is a choice for patient money to go in.
BUY
Likes it. Cashflow and dividend are attractive, with a yield of 5.91%. As we reopen, more ads will come their way as well as more wireless charges.
BUY
Telecom stocks are all reasonably attractive. There is not much growth, though. The dividend yields, however, are so rich you can get a good return just from the dividend.
BUY
Best sweet spot of all the telecoms. Good growth in fibre, good deployment in 5G. Best footprint in Canada for wireless. Cost effective, which will help increase dividend. Payout ratio should decline. Good yield of 6%.
BUY

BCE vs. T He'd go with BCE if he had to choose. Telus is more wireless based. BCE also includes media aspects. BCE is a more conservative play, with a dividend of just over 6%. Telus' dividend is just under 5%. When interest rates move down, BCE tends to do better. When interest rates move up, Telus tends to do better. With interest rates tending to moderate this time of year, and markets being a bit softer, he'd go with BCE.

DON'T BUY
A predictable holding. More like a bond proxy. Higher yield, less growth. Expects it to underperform the market. Other parts of the market are more interesting than telecom. Dividend growth over 5% per year. We can find better. Focus on more economically sensitive groups than this one.
TOP PICK
Overlooked recently. Major expenditures with fibre to the home for 5G. Very good multiple, good yield. A safe investment. A good time to be in large, stable companies. Yield is 5.99%. (Analysts’ price target is $60.01)
TOP PICK

This is a low hanging fruit that has low risk but has good upside potential with dividend. They will benefit from their network updates and 5G. There will be consolidation with Rogers and Shaw which will help their business. You will get a nice dividend. A great all weather stock. (Analysts’ price target is $60.09)

HOLD
Very high quality with no issues on the balance sheet. Own it for its yield at 6.1% with a reasonable payout ratio. Low volatility. A bond replacement. Hold for the yield.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
The space is expensive. A great long-term and free cashflow story. Great position to steal market share as they've spent many millions on 5G. He'd buy at a better entry point.
BUY

BCE vs. ENB He owns both. BCE pays over 6% and ENB 7% in dividends. These are solid long-term investments. They're mature companies. Dividends and share prices will grow. BCE is a little safer, but ENB offers a bit more of a return, but also risk considering their line 5 battle in the courts.

BUY

He's positive with BCE at current levels. The Rogers-Shaw deal could bring regulatory uncertainty, though, for all the telecoms. Their 6% dividend yield is too cheap compared to similar investments, and it will likely be ground down over time as liquidity tries to find a place for investment, and BCE is worthy of this.
