This summary was created by AI, based on 40 opinions in the last 12 months.

BCE Inc. currently faces significant challenges within a highly competitive telecom sector, leading to a decline in its stock price and a considerable dividend cut of 56%. Experts highlight that while BCE's traditional telecommunications business remains stable, it is under pressure due to competition from alternatives like Starlink and regulatory challenges. Many analysts view BCE as primarily a dividend play, appealing for income but lacking in growth potential. The company's strategic move towards AI data center infrastructure shows promise and could provide new revenue streams, with an aim for $2 billion by 2028. Despite the current struggles, the consensus suggests that BCE has potential for recovery in the long term, supported by its more manageable payout ratio and recent upgrades from brokers indicating institutional interest.

This still looks very good on a technical basis. Chart shows a strong upward trend from late 2009 and just broke above a key resistance level. Technically, you should be able to get a comparable move on the upside equivalent to its previous trading range. This would imply that the 1st target would be $47 so technically it is getting close to its target.

Earnings were excellent and they raised the dividend again. Changing their business around and it is really quite good.

Telecom sector is one that really fits the type of sector that people are looking for. They went through their restructuring and now are growing some of their new businesses and are beating estimates so earnings multiples are expanding. In a world where fixed income yields are so low and not showing much sign that they are likely to rise, companies with very predictable cash flows will trade at a premium.

This gives you decent single digit growth. This really has been a dividend story. Just surprised the market with a dividend increase. Yield is about 5%. Technically is perfect being about the 200 and 50 day moving averages. Currently it is extremely overbought. He would like to see it around $41-$42.

(Top Pick Sep 23/11, Up 19%) Owns it because they boost the dividend and people didn’t expect it. Company executed phenomenally well. 2-4% growth, not exciting, but it is a solid business and management says they are intending to constantly raise the dividend.

COMMENT

Aug 02, 2012

Preferred shares series AC. Originally 5% yield but this has fallen. Why? These are resets. Every 5 years, rates are reset and this is coming up in Feb/13 and is 80% of the five-year yield on Canada’s, which is at about 1.25% right now so the new dividend rate on these will be about 1%.

(A Top Pick Aug 11/11. Up 19.47%.) Still favourable on all the telcos. If you are looking for dividend and yields, you should be into telcos rather than utilities or pipelines, which are trading at much higher valuations. Still a Buy.

Thinks the whole communications area in Canada is going to get a lot more competitive. Instead of buying bundled packages you will be able to buy individual channels on their own. Dividend is perfectly safe.

Writing covered calls or selling the stock after the ex-dividend date and purchasing back at the next ex-dividend date? Also at what price should money be taken off the table with this? The premium you receive on a covered call off a stock like this tends to be low on a time value basis. Regarding selling, the stock looks pretty strong here and they have just done a positive acquisition. If you are inclined to trade and capture just the dividends, you could lose a pretty good performing stock.

Doesn't think there will be a ton of growth and the acquisition of the Astro assets really indicated that. There is a fairly tight competitive structure in Canada. It gives you a good dividend and you have a company that is linked to GDP and as long as the Canadian GDP keeps moving north, you'll get an increase in that.
