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

BCE Inc. has faced significant challenges in the competitive telecommunications landscape, leading to a recent dividend cut of 56% aimed at funding growth and restructuring efforts, particularly in the AI data center infrastructure sector. Many experts recognize the company's dividend as relatively safe and attractive, citing a yield of around 5%, which is appealing for income-focused investors. However, they caution that the core business is under pressure due to intense competition, and prospects for capital appreciation may be limited in the near term. Some analysts suggest that BCE's strategic moves, including investments in the U.S. and advancements in fiber technology, could lead to long-term benefits, but a turnaround in share price may take time. Overall, while some see potential for stabilization and gradual growth, the general sentiment leans towards caution, with many preferring to approach BCE as a defensive income play rather than a growth stock.

Feb 04, 2009
(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

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.

A steady Eddie in recessionary times. May be trading as low as 6 X earnings. Earnings are very inexpensive. The capacity to increase the dividend is extraordinary.

Likes management and at this price it is a completely reasonable investment. However, they are going to have to spend money in order to make money so the next year or two is going to be rocky.

Great opportunity over the next year. Stock is down way more than it should be because all the arbitrageurs were getting out. Now starting to come back. Without all the debt it will be a much stronger competitor. Nice dividend yield.

Believes that dividend is intact so look at this as an income producing strategy. Also, there are now a lot of options outstanding on it, so you could write covered Calls on it if you wanted to increase your income. Not sure he would do this just yet.
