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

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 06/18, Up 17%) Generous dividend increases which should continue. Dividend supports the stock in bad markets. A core holding. Will do fine as long as Canadian economy chugs along. Yield is 5.25%.

BUY

There is a bit of friction between the various providers. We are seeing the introduction of new and bigger data plans with more reasonable pricing. It is one of the ones he would look at within the industry.

HOLD

Technology infrastructure. Cost is actually going down. Franchise value. Sports' emotion gets played out in the stock market. Likes it as a core holding, great dividend, stable, extremely well managed. All this is really hard to replicate. With patience, great long-term rate of return.

BUY

They don;t own any of the cable operators. The dividend is safe. A problem that they had for a while which was the under-funding of their corporate pension plan was cleared. If you are looking for an oligopoly with safe income this fits nicely.

WATCH

He would not get out before the next dividend. It is a great Canadian company with a great dividend. Wait and hold it for the dividend and then see where it goes.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 06/18, Up 16%) It has held up very well. He continues to hold it and is happy with it. It is a good stock to have as a base stock for a portfolio.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 06/18, Up 19%) Rocky road for Bell. Hasn't performed as well as investors would like. A dividend play, so you get relatively stable, good earnings and cash flow. Has trimmed in the last 4-6 weeks.

BUY

Getting a decent dividend. So if look at the dividend and the 2-3% share appreciation, that is giving you a decent return for the quality of name and size of business you are buying. US telco's are very different than Canadian. BCE is doing a good job and is growing.

HOLD

5G will end up being relatively homogeneous so he doesn't worry too much. The problem with this company is that there is not much growth left. They had done so well and are so dominant. Not much else to buy. Your are left with a 5% dividend and 2% growth. He expects a 6% total return.

BUY

He likes BCE and the telecom sector. If playing the 5G, probably need to look to the US first. The yield is very attractive. This is a great name to own.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 29/18, Up 18%) You have to be in the telco space, not in the cable space. It is trading expensively. They have room to do more with the free cash flow they have and the 5G. Long-term hold.

COMMENT

A good income stream? He owns Telus instead of Rogers. He is studying the whole rollover of the wireless business in Canada. Prices are starting to drop on increased competitive pressures. It might be early to enter the space. He would prefer BCE-T or T-T.

HOLD

BCE vs. Telus vs. Verizon He owns all three plus AT&T. Verizon is still the #1 network in the U.S. and still pays a great dividend. All three will continue to do a good job. If you own them, hold them.

DON'T BUY

BCE vs. AT&T. Two issues are currency and market size. Likes BCE's balance sheet better, but worries about ability to withstand competition if Canada ever deregulates telcos. AT&T has a lot of debt, and he worries about ability to pay it down and still pay the dividend. AT&T lives in a deregulated market. They're trying to pivot and be a data provider at a time when government's saying you can't sell data. The content war is big and rough. Would avoid the space.

TOP PICK

Buy this for the dividend and don't expect much share price movement. BCE has raised their dividend 16 times since 2007. 5.31% yield that they just raised. They will continue to raise it. (Analysts’ price target is $61.44)
