This summary was created by AI, based on 77 opinions in the last 12 months.

Telus Corp (T-T) is facing significant challenges, including high competition in the telecommunications sector and concerns over its dividend, which many analysts consider at risk of being cut. Although the company shows potential with a beautiful dividend yield nearing 9%, experts highlight a high payout ratio and escalating debt levels due to network investments. Many feel that the company's focus on monetizing assets, such as Telus Health, may provide some financial relief. The new CEO's strategies, including potential changes to dividend policies, can lead to positive transformations; however, many investors remain cautious. Overall, while there are mixed sentiments regarding its performance outlook, many see Telus as a strong dividend-paying stock but warn about the potential for volatility. The general consensus leans towards caution amid a tough market environment.

BUY

Rising interest rates tough on business.
Steady business with safe dividend.
Good time to buy with current share price.
Not expecting further interest rate hikes.

BUY

Telcos have underperformed in the last year, pretty cheap. People are worried about rising interest rates affecting income. Majority owner of TIXT, which missed on results. Undervalued. Solid buy.

HOLD

Sector is struggling with higher rates. Lack of growth going forward. Fighting competition out West. TIXT has been a drag. Will eventually come out the other side. Hold if you own, don't put new money in. Prefers BCE for income.

STRONG BUY

Great company that she loves. Pullback is a great buying opportunity. Stable dividend. Value 8/10, fundamental 9/10. She recently added. Potential upside of over 20% from here.

WEAK BUY

Likes it, but is sensitive to higher interest rates (it is highly leveraged). They spun out the international unit, which is struggling, probably losing market share. Because of this, Telus reduced its full-year guidance. A great business and the best of the Canadian telcos, though. Will continue to grow the dividend.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Telecom sector sensitive to rising interest rates (comparable rates with Treasuries). 
Sector attractive given recent selloff.
Inflow of immigration into Canada good for business.
Competition with Rogers hard on business.
Prefers BCE. 

BUY

He bought it recently after selling it earlier this year. All telcos have come under pressure in Canada and US. Quebecor adds competition, though this market will be consolidated compared to the US. The services side continues to grow through streaming, etc. Few give the telcos credit.

TOP PICK

Expecting volatility, but good long term investment.
Large immigration in Canada will be good for business.
Assets currently built are valuable - hard to replicate.
Good management team. 

WEAK BUY

This one depends on your time horizon. Q2 was in line. Really trying to do cost-saving. Cut free cashflow guidance, with negative EPS for the next little bit. Nice 7% dividend growth. Expensive PE. Best in the space with core business and other assets, which should be tailwinds. He's more of a buyer than a seller at this point.

BUY

Incredibly well run. Great dividend, not a high multiple. Buy it here. Headwinds from previous years will turn into tailwinds.

DON'T BUY

He sold his holding. The YTD chart is downward, not good. It might be hitting support now, but if this doesn't hold, then what?

DON'T BUY

Focus on the long term. Aggressive price competition coming in the space. Telus and BCE will be impacted the most, earnings will soften. Immigration won't be enough to offset the hit.

DON'T BUY

Usually trades at a premium because of faster growth and its lead on fibre to the home. Yield of 6.3%, best dividend grower in the sector. Lacks TV stations and sports teams, but has made forays into digital health. Good ROE. Balance sheet is leveraged. High multiple of 24x, so avoid on valuation.

DON'T BUY

The telcos have been punished. Telus is seeing lower lows. He got caught on this and may sell it.

HOLD

Rising interest rates make its dividend yield less attractive. Hopefully rates will fall sometime next year, and before that telcos should start to base and move up higher. Interesting place to be for income-seeking investors. Yield is 6%.
