HOLD
Owns it mainly for the dividend, close to 5%, which grows slowly but steadily. Very safe. Financially strong. Core line of business, telecom, has seen more spending with work from home. Pretty stable. If you're looking for total return, there are better choices out there. Long-term buy and hold.
BUY
It is perhaps not as exciting as some of the fast growing technology players out there. It is a very well run, steady business. It has a dominant oligopoly type of position. It pays a nice dividend.
HOLD

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Although it is expected based on consensus to show lower growth, the business is more diversified than their peers. Overall it is a safer investment. It is not significantly oversold at these levels at 18x earnings. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

HOLD
Robust dividend. But in this rebound, it's just been sitting there. It's safe. Probably nothing will happen to it.
HOLD

Best quality in the telecom space. Good, stable cashflow to support the great dividend. TV ads might have been hurt by Covid, but infrastructure remains important with the 5G rollout. Well run, will continue to do well. A close competitor is Telus, but why switch?

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. It has balanced business lines and is a little safer than its competitors. The sector is fine to buy today for those seeking income with some growth. If interest rates rise, it could be affected negatively, but it looks like this is a ways away. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

HOLD
Juicy dividend, which grows steadily. Predictable business model. Today's results seem fine. Share price is overreacting. Some decline in monthly revenue. One to own for steady and growing income over time.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The company is expected to have $5.64B in revenue and earnings per share of $0.77. The stock has beat results around 50% of the time. With 99% of their retail stores being re-opn, there is no reason to expect disappointing results. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

DON'T BUY

All the telcos have paused over the last few months. Mobile data volume allowance is going up in plans while plan costs go down. A price war is hitting their top line. He prefers Shaw and Rogers. It is a marriage that at some point may happen. Telus has created a digital health care market. He prefers T-T.

SELL
Telcos have been frustrating. Big capex cycle, and then the pandemic. He hates buying a stock just because it has a yield. Suggests switching to the utilities sector with similar yield but more consistent dividend and earnings growth.
BUY
The company will benefit from the rural broadband project. Yield is close to 6%. The payout ratio is okay at around 75%. They will have to spend to receive more income, but the media providers are internet providers in Canada. If you decide to cut the cord, you still need internet. The work from home trend will increase internet use as well.
COMMENT
He has considered switching his position to Telus. He still likes BCE. Performance over the last decade has been significant. Going forward, dividend growth will not be as strong although yield is higher than competitors.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
The dividend is safe. All telcos are good at increasing their dividend yearly. BCE pays 5.9%. She buys this below $55. A solid income stock.
TOP PICK

A necessary service, no matter when a Covid vaccine is ready. We love our phone, internet, and Netflix. We're using more bandwith all the time and have to store more data. Legacy businesses are being replaced by 5G and fibre optic. Great and reliable dividend. Good addition to any portfolio. Yield is 5.92%. (Analysts’ price target is $60.66)

BUY
Well-positioned for the effects of the pandemic. Network is incredibly robust in the downturn. Generating free cash, and the whole sector is starting to increase dividends.
