This summary was created by AI, based on 41 opinions in the last 12 months.

BCE Inc. has faced several challenges in the telecom sector, including a recent dividend cut that has raised concerns among investors. While some experts believe the company is transitioning effectively towards data center operations and AI infrastructure, others remain cautious about its growth prospects amid increased competition and regulatory pressures. The dividend yield, now around 5%, provides some appeal for income-focused investors, even as many analysts view BCE as a defensive play with limited capital appreciation potential. The stock has experienced significant volatility, and some analysts caution against investing heavily until clearer upward trends are observed. Nonetheless, there are indications that the stock may attract institutional interest due to its recovery potential and solid foundational assets.

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.

Canadian telcos are conservative. This is more defensive than other stocks. They spent a lot of money to get growth. His clients own it. You can buy this with AAPL-Q to offset it.

Great income stock for the steady part of your portfolio. Will probably see 5-7% dividend growth over the next few years. Fibre to home strategy will pay off, and they'll continue to gain market share. Secular rise in remote work. Rebound from pandemic will bring a return to roaming charges and ad revenue. Yield is 5.7%.

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%.

The payout is pretty high on their 5% dividend. If you want the yield it is a good option, though.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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%.

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.

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.
