This summary was created by AI, based on 39 opinions in the last 12 months.

BCE Inc., a major player in the Canadian telecom sector, is experiencing challenges amid intensifying competition, particularly from disruptive technologies like Starlink. Many experts view their recent dividend cut as a necessary but painful decision to improve financial stability and focus on growth avenues, such as AI and data center infrastructure. While BCE is recommended for its attractive yield, most analysts caution that it's not poised for significant capital appreciation in the near term. Overall, BCE is perceived primarily as a defensive income investment rather than a growth opportunity, with expectations of gradual recovery in its core business. Experts suggest holding BCE for its yield but remain cautious regarding its growth potential amidst an evolving telecommunications landscape.

Feb 20, 2009
Now in a range where you can look at it from a fundamental perspective. Telcos is not a sector he wants to be in right now. There is potential for this company in this price range.

On a standalone basis, it is a turnaround story. New management. Lots of cost cutting. Great balance sheet. Recently increased dividends and they are buying back stock.

When it had the selloff after the deal cracked, the stock found its footing. This is a defensive position that you get paid to hold. Dividend is safe.

(A Top Pick Feb 6/08. Down 26.7%.) Had believed the deal was going to go through. Going forward, it's a stronger company. If you are looking for a long-term dividend growth company valuations are not bad on this. Hold.

His value on this company is around $24. It is where it is because of its safe haven nature. 5.8% dividend is safe. May implement some kind of share replacement program.

In this environment, you want something with a great balance sheet, very defensive business mix and options to enhance share value. Have about $3 billion in cash. Doing share buybacks and increasing dividends but thinks there is more to come after the February shareholder meeting.

COMMENT

BCE Inc.(BCE.TO)

Jan 15, 2009
Hasn't been a fan but it started looking attractive in the low $20's. Fixed phone lines is a weak and dying business but their wireless side is doing quite nicely. Cutting costs. Yield is good for income investors but wouldn't buy for growth.

Now that the deal has fallen through, will dividends be retroactive? During negotiations, dividends were suspended for 2/4 but no mention of them being reinstated yet. Using some of their cash to buy back stock.

(A Top Pick Dec 27/07. Down 36%.) New strategy cut a ton of costs and a lot of management layers. Earnings numbers will offset some of the slowdown in wire line business. Looking for stronger earnings growth than the market is expecting.
