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.

BCE Inc.(BCE.TO)

Sep 17, 2008
Deal will close on December 11 at $42.75. Prices come off the stock because of leveraged people having to raise cash. CitiGroup (C-N) will be able to come up with its share of the financing. You will make a 20% return in 3 months.

Pressure is certainly on the Teachers Federation if they want to go through with the deal. If they're going to get funding, at what cost and at what price. This is why the stock has been dropping.

Discounted because of concerns of Merrill Lynch (MER-N) being taken out. There is always a risk until the deal is done. Even if it doesn't go through, he is holding his stock because there will be more to come.

Certainly the numbers make sense that theoretically you should be able to Buy this before the deal closes giving an annual 20% yield. He wouldn't do it.

He has recently been buying preferreds. He has been paying about $24.60 + and they get redeemed at $25.50 in December. This gives you 2 or 3 dividends between now and December. The annualized return is 16% plus.

The 6% that you gain by holding the stock until December is pretty much a sure bet. That is almost 20% per year. If the stock got up to $41 or $41.25 he would redeploy the funds.

If you buy now, you have about $2.75 of upside between now and December. There is no dividend. Not a large enough rate of return for him.

COMMENT

Aug 25, 2008
When this deal goes through, it makes other telecom stocks more attractive. Telecom stocks such as Manitoba Telecom (MBT-T), Telus (T-T) Rogers (RCI.B-T), Bell Aliant (BA.UN-T) etc. will be interesting buys. BCE hasn't disappeared. Teachers paid a lot of money for it. They will restructure it and repackage it in a few years out.

It looks like the deal is going through. Trading at a discount because there are no dividends payable. There is still a 5% chance that the deal blows up. He owns the bonds.

If all goes well, the stock will be taken out at $42.75 in December. There will be no dividends. There is always the potential for something to happen, but given what has transpired over the last several weeks, it looks like the deal has a better chance of completing than it did before.
