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.

Mar 13, 2019
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.

(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.

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.

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.

(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.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Defensives like this are trending higher, though December to March is its seasonality. Its 200-day moving average is moving higher. Taking profits now is a good idea. This could retrace its 200-day moving average.

Negative impact from Huawei, but BCE is so big, the impact would be marginal. Own it for the yield, with 1-2% growth. Needs the wireless to be driven higher, which will only come with population growth. As long as its growth matches the industry, BCE will be fine.
