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.

Continues to hold it. One of the attractions is the huge cash flow that comes through it. Expects further dividend increases.

Probably not a lot of growth but what is really key is that these companies wanted to be Internet companies, made acquisitions, and then sold them all and have now reverted to being a utility. Throwing off lots of free cash. Great dividend.

Moderately negative on the telecom sector. These guys did a good job of cost cutting and generating free cash flow. Attractive yield. And free cash flow used to increase dividends, so money gravitated here. With increasing competition, she sees limited capital gains. Moderate increases in dividend in the future.

Wouldn't Buy this for growth. If you are buying for yield and plan to hold it in your portfolio for a long time, that's how he would use it. 5.7% dividend.

If you want secure income, this is good with the yield of 5.7%. Expect modest capital gains of 2%-4% a year giving a total return of 8%-9%.

(A Top Pick Aug 7/09. Up 33.5%.) Originally bought as a dividend stock, but new management is getting their act together and will become much more competitive. Increased dividends twice in the last 6 to 9 months and expects this to continue.

Had reached a 52 week high and had upped their dividends twice so he sold his holdings. There is a rumour of a 3rd dividend increase but if there is one, he expects it will be fairly minor. If you want this strictly for yield, it is okay.

4.35% Series AG Preferred. Decent yield for a leading telecommunications company in Canada. You could do better holding the common, but he likes the fact that you are paid before the common. You get extra yield over Rogers and Telus.

The whole telecom space is getting more competitive with wireless. Wire line business is declining so they need growth in wireless to offset that. Have done a great job in cost cutting. Solid long-term hold if you're looking for income.

Consensus target is about $32.10 so very little potential capital gain. 5% plus yield. Increasing competition in telecoms, cable TV, etc. Will clear out any from accounts he manages.
