BUY
There won't be much topline growth in the telcos until 5G launches. Another problem is that other companies are using their networks, and the CRTC says they can pay the telcos less for this. BCE pays a great 5% dividend and they execute very well. Good to buy at these levels.

HOLD
The company is fairly mature. The dividend is around 5%. His total return expectations are just a little over 6%. The share price does not have to move forward a lot to give you the average return from the S&P over the last couple of decades. It is a slow growth and slow dividend growth story and he believes they will continue to grow slowly.

BUY
He likes it for their dividend. The cash-flow is excellent. If you want to add more, he would write a put option at $60 expiring in March or April.

BUY
BCE-T vs. RCI.B-T. BCE-T is considered the steadiest and safest of the three. It has run up quite a bit in the last year as a flight to safety. RCI.B-T has come off a bit after offering their unlimited data plan which was a bigger success than they anticipated. He would buy RCI.B-T. A year from now they won't have any issues with unlimited data.

HOLD
Target price? His target is $66 for the next 12 months -- pretty close to where they trade today. He models good revenue growth and dividend growth of 5% going forward. It trades at 17 times earnings. This is a yield proxy -- a decent holding, but it won't do the heavy lifting for your portfolio. (Analysts’ price target is $64.00)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 22/18, Up 22%) Well-capitalized and they execute well. Fibre to the home is done and they're taking market share from Rogers. Bundling with fibre to the home is helping their wireless business. Even their wireline division is making money. The only issue is that BCE trades at 8x EBITDA to enterprise value, the highest in this sector.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 07/18, Up 18%) Its FMV is $70, which BCE has never passed, but rather will bounce down. Not enough upside.

PAST TOP PICK
DON'T BUY
A stock that looks to be fully priced. He likes it under $57, now it’s at $64. They’re in an area that can be affected by government regulation. There’s also concerns over the expense of 5G. How much is it going to cost? He would sit on the side lines to see what the bill to do the big switch is. Under $60, he would look closer.

BUY
Most people buy it for the dividend yield. He likes the relative safety. His preferred way to play Telcos, utilities and pipelines is with an ETF, ZWU-T. It is a covered call strategy with about 7% yield and is much more diversified than picking one stock. But you can't help liking BCE-T regardless.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 15/18, Up 20%) It's more of a trading stock now. Returns were better a few weeks ago before the telco pullback. Still holds and likes it.
