Telus Corp, a Canadian telecommunications company, is currently viewed as a solid dividend play, with a yield around 7% to 8%. Many experts appreciate the company's stability and effective management in a challenging competitive environment, highlighting its focus on fiber optics as a key area for future growth. While the telecom sector has faced issues such as increased competition and pricing pressure, experts believe that Telus is well-positioned to weather these challenges due to its strong free cash flow and strategic initiatives, including the potential sale of non-core assets. However, there are concerns regarding the overall growth prospects of the sector and the company's elevated debt levels. Despite these challenges, several analysts recommend Telus as a viable long-term investment for income-focused investors, especially in light of potential interest rate declines.
It's time to step back into telcos. Dividends are sustainable. He owns all 3 Canadian telcos. Share prices have bottomed, and he expects margin improvement. Costs have been slashed. Is partially optimistic, because shares have been so beaten down, and yet the industry isn't going anywhere. There will be some growth going forward. Is bullish on telcos. BCE's strategy in the US (buying a US company) will generate reasonable value. Telus is the faster grower and has made good moves outside telecoms to create value. Rogers is more of a question mark, including their sports holding, but is worth a ton of money (the value of sports teams is huge).
Best telecom in Canada. Yield of 7.4% is secure, but quite elevated relative to its 10-year average. Yield alone is not enough; feels it'll grow at a faster pace than peers, validated by company actions. All players should face easier earnings comparisons in wake of the detrimental price war. Financial strength and flexibility.
Interesting, but growing, collection of faster-growing non-telecom businesses such as healthcare and benefits consulting. Surplus urban real estate (obsolete central switching stations) can be monetized through redevelopment (not to mention the $1B that could be realized by selling the copper for scrap).
Dividend's safe, doesn't see any risk. All telecoms have been under tremendous pressure for the past couple of years. Did better than the others because of ancillary businesses. He's become positive on the sector. He owns all the telecoms, likes to play the laggard, this is his smallest position of the group.
Owns it just for the yield. As long as the stock doesn't go down, he doesn't expect that much from it. Should be able to clean up the business and the balance sheet, and that's happening. Seems that it can increase pricing on cell plans incrementally. Telco that's the most transparent on what's going on.
Right now, she has no exposure to the sector. Very competitive. Decrease in immigration takes away source of potential growth. They all provide a pretty attractive yield. Telus is an income stock, and perhaps they can increase it a bit each year, but the fundamentals of the sector aren't that attractive.
If you hold, sell, and look for a more attractive income stock in a sector with a better outlook.
Whole telecom space has been challenged, partly because of increased competition. No outlets to grow outside Canada. Profitability will be flat for some time. People own these names for the income. Rogers' purchase of Shaw gives it an edge on cost-cutting. Telus is the best operator. Rogers has the lowest dividend yield of the group.
Steer clear of the space. Even with an income stock you do want some growth, as it helps offset valuation risk elsewhere in the business.
Become differentiated when you drill into the metrics. Both suffering from credit downgrades. Took on a lot of debt for 5G buildout, but weren't able to increase pricing. Number of immigrants has slowed. Lots of price competition, just as elsewhere in the world.
In last quarter, increased dividend. Less risky than BCE right now. Debt/equity ~150%, so not as much onus on debt repayment as for BCE. Has the potential of other operations like TIXT and Telus Health, so it's doing other things outside of just telecom; appears to be promising growth, but we'll see.
In last quarter, BCE cut dividend. Debt/equity is at 200%.
Tough environment. Trades at 20x PE for 2027, with 13% growth. So PEG isn't bad. Trying to make balance sheet better. Protected market share with Public Mobile brand, making it more price competitive. More resilient than BCE or RCI.B. Very well run. 13 analysts have upgraded in last 30 days, 0 downgrades.
Quiet place to put capital and collect the nice dividend. Not an "if", but a "when" thesis. The bottom probably isn't far off.
Payout ratio is almost 100%. Dividend is not at risk; in fact, company said that it would be raised this year. Capex will be coming down, way ahead of peers on the capex spend on fibre to the home. As capex comes off, cashflows will go up, payout ratio will come down.
Trades at premium, but it is the premium telco right now due to better financial condition. Stock will be range bound for now, but could be some growth longer term. Will pick up as macro environment improves.

Mixed view. Cashflow has ticked up a bit. Pretty confident that dividend is safe. Doesn't love the valuation or the growth profile. Supposed to be low growth, but it's really low at about 2% (wants to see it go back to 5%). Yield is 7.2%, payout ratio of 43%.
Hold, don't buy more; collect dividend, and don't expect much more.
