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.

Using DRIP can be very successful with compound interest, especially if you can buy fractional shares. Not impressed with their latest results. The dividends are growing at 5% whereas the average is 7%. A big problem is that you have a virtual oligopoly in Canada but can't get more than 1 or 2% revenue growth. Where is the payback for 5G coming from?

A bond proxy? A steady stock with a good dividend. The price war in wireless is canalizing some margins. He thinks the fundamentals of the company will likely deteriorate over the next couple of years. A 5.3% yield. He will continue to hold for now.

(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%.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.
