This summary was created by AI, based on 82 opinions in the last 12 months.

Telus Corp (T-T) is currently facing a challenging environment characterized by intense competition, high debt levels, and concerns over its substantial dividend yield, which has elicited fears of potential cuts. Many experts highlight the company's recent lower performance, positioning it as a utility rather than a growth stock, with the current yield exceeding 9%. Despite the bleak outlook, some analysts maintain a positive stance on the company's long-term potential, driven by asset monetization and a focus on growth in digital and healthcare services. However, doubts about sustainable earnings growth persist, and while there is a consensus that the dividend may be maintained, many question its long-term viability amid elevated payout ratios and fiscal constraints. A new CEO has been appointed, raising expectations for management changes that could reshape the company's future.

BCE
DON'T BUY

Trades a premium to its peers because it has grown faster historically and have been quicker to deliver fibre to homes. But it lacks TV stations and sports teams which Rogers and BCE have.  Good profit margins and ROE, but the balance sheet has too much and the PE is 21x PE, much higher than its peers. Pays a 6.5% dividend, but not his first choice.

BUY

All telcos have pulled back, ugly charts. But fundamentals for telcos are good. Look to see if it will base at current levels. Pays a high dividend and interest rates should flatten, which makes this a good time to step into this and telcos.

DON'T BUY

Telcos in Canada are in a unique spot. Quebecor has really upped the competitive pressure, positive for the consumer but negative for BCE and Telus. Stay away, and see how things shake out. Prefers RCI.B, with its ability to shave costs from Shaw, or QBR.B.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Telecom sector has been volatile past year with higher interest rates. Believes company will provide value in the long term. Good for dividend investors. 

BUY

Telus, BCE, and Rogers are all competing for market share. Telus and BCE are in a really good position in that race. People are loathe to give up cell phones. Telus has diversified. Repriced to the point where it's attractive. Well managed. Yield of 6.5% is not bad.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 02/23, Down 19%)

Rising interest rates have put pressure on stock price. Believes stock price is historically cheap. Canadian immigration will see growth in company. Likes company for the long term. Buying shares at the current price.
 

WAIT

Has owned this. Nothing wrong with owning it. Over time, the telcos could see their oligopoly erode with more competition. Also, higher GIC rates are hurting the telco stocks, known for their dividends. Don't sell. Wait for interest rates to stabilize. Sure, GICs pay 5%, but what about inflation? Dividend stocks are a better hedge against inflation over the long term.

DON'T BUY

Telus has been great for him as a customer. All telcos are getting hit. Unlike Rogers and BCE, Telus lacks the same integration or diversity of business. It will probably bounce at some point, but it will take a while before such "safe" dividend stocks bounce.

BUY

It is at a good valuation now, being near its low. Has a solid dividend and dividend growth rate. In general telecom stocks are down and there are competition concerns for the sector but this should not be a major concern.

BUY

6% or so dividend yield. Earnings are soft. CRTC is determined to find a way to keep prices lower, a politically popular strategy. Still, these companies have an oligopoly. If they make less in one area, they'll increase earnings in another. All in cost-cutting mode.

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.
