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.

He likes telcos. Bond proxies have become overpriced, but telcos are less overpriced compared to REITs and utilities. They're stable with decent valuations. BCE is a good place to hide now. He's also long Rogers and Cogeco. Telcos can move lower, but less so in a market sell-off. When markets recover, though, telcos won't move up as much.

Buy the stock or ETF? Yes, buy the stock. He doesn't buy ETFs. He wants to own exactly what he wants. You can own this through XIC or XIU, but you'd be buying lots of other stocks you may not want. BCE isn't a bad stock, but it's slow-growing. It has most to lose as people drop landlines. Also, the CRTC is pressuring telcos to lower cell phone bills in two years. It's defensive and low yield. Safe in an oligopoly. There are better ideas out there.

It is a very low growth company. They are generating earnings grown by cost cutting. You will get some dividend growth but it will not be a growth stock. It is rock solid and will hold up well in a down market.

He owns shares in this. He likes how they are rolling out a strategy for 5G. The dividend looks stable. The risk is if interest rates rise. He would be adding at this price level. Yield 5.6%

They own it in their income platform. There is a range from high $50 - low $60. It's now trading at the lower end of the range. It would be a good entry point, especially with a good dividend.

It is an extremely well managed company. It is a great space to be in as there is tremendous growth in the wireless space. They have to keep reinvesting. They have a strong balance sheet. The only risk is regulatory risk. You could buy on a pull back.

He still likes it and has long held it. He feels neutral about it now, not expecting much upside. Be cautious about jumping on a momentum bandwagon here. Don't enter it now.

They keep delivering to investors and they also keep raising dividends. PEs are high across the board so it is not unusual. As long as interest rates are low, people will want dividends. There's a rumour that they want to unlock their data centre assets that can be a catalyst for growth.

If you own it, continue to hold. Great income stock, with an attractive yield around 5%. Increase dividend each year in mid-single digit range, with no signs of stopping. Doesn't expect a lot of capital appreciation, perhaps around 5%. This gives you a return of around 10%, quite reasonable in this environment.

He is not that interested in 5G but is interested in the fact that they have all been hit by the CRTC to make Canadian wireless more competitive. It came down and then rallied up. He thinks the stock is tired and could use a rest period.

Telecoms? Rogers is an interesting name. He owns BCE instead. A push for lower cell phone rates along with greater investment in 5G networks are key headwinds in this sector. Telcoms will face a lot spending to build up 5G, which will impact the financials for the next few years. He likes the dividend they pay, however. If your time horizon is long, then holding is fine.

He would be cautious. He's recommended this in the past and it has done well. However, the government's effort to reduce costs, as well as the cost of 5G worries him. Cashflow could be directed in that direction, which is a longterm play, but in the short term, the cost could be great. All the telcos are in the same situations.

vs. Verizon Verizon is a good US income stock. Own this in a non-registered account to avoid the tax hit. Better to own BCE, because it won't be taxed in a sheltered account.
