This summary was created by AI, based on 44 opinions in the last 12 months.

BCE Inc. is viewed as a stable yet challenged investment, primarily recognized for its high dividend yield of around 5%, which many see as a reliable income source amidst current pressures in the telecom sector. The company has faced significant stock price declines due to increased competition, especially from emerging technologies like Starlink, leading to a cut in its dividend by 56% to maintain a sustainable payout ratio. While many experts highlight BCE's potential in the AI and data center space, they express caution about its core operations, with concerns over limited growth prospects and competitive pricing pressures. The consensus is that BCE may serve better as a defensive investment with modest future appreciation rather than as a growth stock. Analysts suggest monitoring BCE's strategic moves in the evolving telecom landscape, including its recent US acquisition and infrastructure investments, to gauge long-term viability.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 21/18, Up 12%) They're making fine progress in fiber to the home and capturing market share. Their wireless is also doing well. They regularly raise their dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 07/18, Up 11%) Best in class. Their fibre to the home network is mostly done and will gain them more market share. Pays a 7% cash flow yield. BCE can bundle with their new fibre, while their Fibe is doing well. Their net additions last quarter beat expectations. He took some profits recently yet still likes it alot.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They're good at finding ways to grow 2-4%. Slightly better and safer than Telus. By this on a dip like $56-57. Hold it if you own it.

HOLD

If you believe that interest rate won't go up you can do well with this name. It has higher leverage but it was always like that. Stable business.

COMMENT

Sell now at $59 after buying at $50? Smart to buy during the Xmas pullback. The telcos are fairly valued now, so you can hold onto this and collect the good 5.3% yield. Internet demand won't diminish. Don't be anxious to sell it, but if you're a trader, sell.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 02/18, Up 11%) Good for regular cash flow and he expects a dividend increase. This sector continues to grow and BCE came raise charges. Telcos are a good space and BCE is the biggest player here.

WATCH

He owns Telus. He recently bought Verizon in the US because of 5G. BCE and Telus are going to have to invest a lot in 5G technology. He does not see a lot of dividend growth going forward. These are not growth stories. You are buying them for their dividend and dividend growth.

BUY

Will the 5G conversion hurt the telcos? A challenge but also an opportunity for them. Look at how much capital they can tap, which BCE can without problem. Their stock price doesn't indicate that there's a big risk on the horizon. A great company with a fine dividend. You can buy and hold this and it will weather a recession. A big holding of his.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 15/18, Up 8%) Still likes it though the valuation is now a little pricey. He may take a few profits. BCE can be rocky. Pays a safe 5.5% dividend. Has a solid balance sheet and cash flow.

HOLD

Blue chip. One of the premium dividend payers. One of the issues is that pricing power is not quite there. Not a growth story, but you can 100% hold it as a dividend play. Nothing to propel earnings higher in next 2-3 years, so she's not excited about it. No chatter about future acquisitions. Great company, great management team. Yield is 5.5%.

DON'T BUY

He's not a fan of the telecom sector. 5% yield, but it's only growing at 5% a year, so it will take you 14 years to double. Prefers stronger free cash flow, so dividend can be raised 10% a year. 5G will be extremely expensive, doesn't see the economic benefit.

BUY

FTS-T vs. Utilities vs. Telecoms. It is an easy choice to Telcos. They are both regulated. Both steady state, stable businesses. BCE-T vs. FTS-T. He is long BCE-T. It is has good valuation here. 16 PE. FTS-T has 13 times. You should do better in Telecoms. T-T is warnings of implications f the Chinese telecom is banned from Canada.

BUY

BCE vs. BNS for dividend growth and a long-term holding He owns both. Two different companies. The view on interest rates is positive for both. BCE: telecoms won't suffer from cord cutting, since they have a stake in streaming as well; and wireless, cable and interest rates are still high in Canada. BNS: just added to his holding; been a poor performer in the past year, but their international exposure is a positive; pays a good dividend; and this is a safe stock. Canadian banks as a whole earn a lot of money, and he doesn't see problems in this sector. BCE is more defensive, but it comes down to which sector you want.

HOLD

Takes some profits now, then rebuy later? It's OK-valued, a little pricey. He's sticking with this, because their Fibe and customer service are fine. He's been very happy with Bell. And Crave is amazing.

SELL

He would take profit here and look to re-enter back around $49. He sees 20% possible downside from here based on his model valuation.
