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
Reason he bought was first and foremost the dividend. Things are shaking up well.
TOP PICK
The long-term market low has carried it down to book value. Very defensive. 6.4% dividend.
DON'T BUY
Don’t see a lot of upside potential, but you do get a 6+% dividend. They think management will do a great job of taking some costs out of the equation. Would not hold in growth funds.
BUY
With 6.3% yield it’s hard not to want to continue holding it. Higher yield on common stock than on their bonds. Probably modest growth and maybe in a year of two a dividend increase.
DON'T BUY
There is some new competition coming in between now and 2011. With this threat, he could see the stock moving sideways or even down for the next little while.
COMMENT
This is on his watch list. Yield is attractive.
BUY
Have done a great job cutting costs and working on growing the business. Also doing well growing wireless assets. Nice stable 6% dividend yield. Trades at a low valuation. To hedge this, you could Short Manitoba Tel (MBT-T) or some of the US telcos.
COMMENT
Never liked because head winds were so strong over the last 3 years. Used as a proxy for the bonds he holds. Trading at around 10X forward earnings. Just announced they and Telus (T-T) will be starting a new 3G network and selling iPhones & Blackberries, which should be able to help gain market share. (See Top Picks.)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 17/08. Up 26%.) Bell Canada Bonds 4.64% maturing 2016.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 5/08. Down 22%.) Recommended it because he was betting that the takeover by the Teachers would go through. He is neutral on it now. 6.2% dividend is safe but you'll have to wait for capital gains.
COMMENT
Increased dividends by 5% twice since the Teachers deal fell through. Over the last 5 years the dividend is actually down about 8%. Thinks management is doing a good job. Cutting costs, reorganizing management and getting more aggressive on the wireless side. 6.5% yield. Could be 5%-10% capital appreciation also.
DON'T BUY
Finding some support on its 50 day moving average. Has been in a sideways trading range and has been trying to break out. 6.2% dividend is probably safe but stock has to break out of its containment and he doesn't see that happening.
TOP PICK
New management issuing some intelligence. Over 6% yield, which is safe. Good place to park your money. Doesn't see a huge amount of earnings growth potential, he is more interested in the dividend.
BUY
Likes the 6.2% dividend very much, which is expected to increase over time. Thinks telecoms are ready to break out. (See Top Picks.)
BUY
Has been base building and has managed to get above the 200-day moving average. The whole basing area could very well turn into an upside movement. Good yield of 6%.
