This summary was created by AI, based on 45 opinions in the last 12 months.

BCE Inc. is currently facing significant challenges within the highly competitive telecom sector in Canada. Analysts are divided on the stock's outlook, with some expressing cautious optimism about its long-term potential due to an attractive dividend yield, while others remain skeptical about growth prospects following the company's dividend cut and high capital expenditures. Investors are advised to consider the stock primarily for its income-generating capacity rather than growth, as many believe the dividend will provide stability amidst market volatility. The outlook on BCE is mixed, with discussions of capital investments in AI and fibre helping to position the company for future growth, though concerns about high debt levels and competitive pressures persist.

Telus,T
BUY
Good performer, since teacher deal fell through. Likes what they are doing. Focused on raising dividend. Hype about new entrants is overdone.
TOP PICK
Lots of telecoms try to be internet and media companies. After 2002 they sold off a lot of assets that they bought. Now things are going back to more normalized levels. Paying down debt and lots of cash flow and great dividend.
BUY
He prefers Rogers and Shaw. Sole reason for owning BCE is the dividend. Modest capital gains from here. Reasonable minimum downside. At some point he thinks they and Telus will spin off wireless.
WEAK BUY
Likes – it’s a full position. It is a communications pipeline. Done a great job of returning capital to shareholders. Great cash flow. It’s sleepy but it pays a nice dividend. It’s an ok buy in this range. Their wireless business is ok and they are smart.
BUY
Has always been the “steady Eddie” type company. Upgraded wireless system last year and that should add more of a spin to their mobile area. Good dividend yield.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Hold for dividend. Some chance of capital appreciation. Would look to buy at a lower price.
TOP PICK
Blew away the street with their wireless edition in the last quarter. Will have $2 billion of free cash flow. Earnings from operations that are not needed for capital expenditures will be given back to shareholders. Has been raising its dividend regularly. Trading at about 10X earnings.
DON'T BUY
Outlook is relatively stable. Had a nice move off the bottom. Sold his holdings last year when it ran up. Problem is there is no real growth. Wire line is not growing at all.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 22/09. Up 10.1%.) Sold it at $27-$28 when it was fully valued. Company faces some challenges.
TOP PICK
4.35% Series AG. Preferreds generally are trading higher than corporates right now as well as having tax advantages.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 23/09. Up 18.34%.)
BUY
Should be happy with 6% dividend. Is moving more global with Email and Blackberry.
WEAK BUY
Equivalent of a long-term bond with a 6.23% yield. Earnings growth is pretty mediocre.
TOP PICK
Very low PE and high dividend yield at 6.3%. Very high free cash flow yield. Now back to their good core businesses with some pricing power in some of them.
BUY
Telcos are not a heavy weighting in his portfolios. It will be some time before they lose significant market share against the new players but there will be some challenge to growth and margins. Good defensive play. 6.2% yield. This would be his 1st choice.
