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.
PARTIAL SELL
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.
HOLD
One concern is where will they find growth. Does have safety, a strong dividend. A widows and orphans stock. He doesn't own it, but sees no problem if you do. (Analysts’ price target is $58.00)
HOLD
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.
HOLD
Slow and steady. Sell at $60 as a trader. Otherwise, there's no reason to sell this.
BUY
He likes buying when stocks are sideways. He thinks it will go back to the low $60 range. It was well situated in the last market correction. For an income based relatively secure play it looks OK.
TOP PICK
Attractive 5.4% dividend especially in relationship to the 10-year 1.9% Canada bond. A huge spread. Likely that the stock will rise and the yield will decrease. (Analysts’ price target is $58.94)
HOLD
It is a good solid dividend payer but he is challenged by the growth prospects. He is not in that sector. The dividend is safe. It is being challenged by NetFlix. The new generation are streamers and don't watch TV.
COMMENT
BCE vs. Telus BCE's growth potential is a little limited vs. Telus. Telus' dividend is okay, but a little lower than BCE's. BCE was one of the few stocks rising when the rest of the market fell. Not a bad idea to also buy Telus. Both are good for cash flow through their dividends. That's why he bought BCE. Telus has a little more growth.
