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

BCE Inc. has been facing considerable challenges in a competitive telecommunications landscape, particularly with the advent of Starlink and other market disruptors. While the company recently cut its dividend, the move has led to a more sustainable payout ratio, garnering some support among analysts. BCE is evolving into an AI and data center play, diversifying its business model beyond traditional telecommunications. Despite its defensive characteristics and attractive yield of around 5%, many experts express caution about potential capital growth and the firm's overall future performance in the face of regulatory pressures and rising competition. A consensus emerges that BCE may provide stability and income but also raises concerns about long-term growth prospects in a complex market environment.

PAST TOP PICK

BCE Inc.(BCE.TO)

Jul 05, 2011
4.35% Series AG Preferred (Top Pick Jun 16/10, Up 25.60) Expected it to do well but not this well. It is a unique preferred. It is in a fixed floater, which is not understood well. It came up for a reset in April. You choose between fixed and floating. He stayed with the fixed. Got a bump up in dividend to 4.5%, so people were quote happy.

For years he said ‘stay away’. It is one of his core holdings now. Have high yields with predictability. BCE went through a great re-structuring. Stock is behaving remarkably well. Likes the telecom sector.

Jun 20, 2011
Nice solid defensive name in a market like this. Capital of side is somewhat muted because it has recovered to the point where the teachers had made their bid. She doesn't see much upside, maybe 5%. Nice yield of 5.5%. Very strong cash flow.

The big 3, BCE (BCE-T), Rogers (RCI.B-T) and Telus (T-T) are all facing threat of new entrants. This company’s strategy has been consistent and has been picking up and leading in market share in wireless. Extraordinarily strong company for the long term. Good dividend.

3.65% due May 9/16. Attractive yield. Starting yield higher than Government of Canada means it is likely to have a positive rate of return in the next 12 months.

COMMENT

Jun 13, 2011
Earnings aren’t growing very quickly but have a decent dividend. Has new competition in wireless, which will dilute the industry a little. Core businesses are clearly not growing as fast as they used to. You can maybe make a 10% return annually including the dividend. Big money has already been made on this one.

They did a large write-off in converting to IFRS. Thinks it’s expensive. Model price $31.28, -18% differential. He thinks it is too expensive. They do have 5.5% dividend. If it comes back to the $37 level he would be interested.

Chart shows a long upward move from late 2008. Expect it to have a little resistance at the $40 level and then you are looking at the $50-$52 level. Telecom sector is the right space to be in at this time. (See Top Picks.)

Likes the sector. Increased dividends twice a year in 2010 and 2011 but probably won’t continue doing that. This year the increase was more than expected. Did a joint venture with Telus (T-T) on the wireless side so are in better competition with Rogers (RCI.B-T).

It’s not such a great buy any more for capital appreciation. Thinks they will raise dividend. He thinks other telecoms, such as RCI.B are a better buy. Thinks at some point BCE and Telus will merge if the government permits.

COMMENT

BCE Inc.(BCE.TO)

May 19, 2011
9.25% Strip bond May 15/30? Strip bonds are the most volatile of all fixed income maturities and long term ones are the most volatile because they have no interest payments to shorten the duration. Your entire market value depends on long term interest rates. When rates go up, the value of the strip bonds go down. Consider selling and going into shorter term bonds, depending on your portfolio.

May 16, 2011
Did a good job of moving into television area. Had a great run. Could go either way on this one. Doesn’t see huge downside risks but at around $40, it’s a little thin for moving higher. Yield is perfectly safe. When the market recovers, as he expects, there may be some rotation out of this type of stock and into things with more upside.
