Experts have mixed opinions on Telus Corp (T-T), with many expressing concerns about its high dividend yield, which they believe may not be sustainable in the long term. There are worries about the company's significant debt and the saturation in the telecom market, which limits growth potential. The recent appointment of a new CEO has generated hopes for management changes and potential optimization of the balance sheet, including possible dividend cuts, which could improve financial flexibility. Despite these concerns, Telus is often viewed as a solid long-term hold for income-focused investors, with analysts noting its defensive characteristics in a challenging economic climate. Some consider its current valuation appealing, suggesting that it may present an opportunity for investors looking to accumulate shares at a lower price point.

BUY
Extremely well managed.
BUY
Get out of high-dividend players? No, unless you think interest rates will stay high for a long time. Telcos are attractive and you need income stocks in a portfolio. Telcos will benefit from the strong immigration numbers, because those people will need to buy cell phones. Also, Telus has a track record of raising its dividend.
BUY
Great operator. Tentacles into health and tech. A good stock to own in this environment.
WAIT
Yield of 4.7%, growing about 6.5% over the last 5 years. With rising rates, the dividend looks less attractive. Dropped below 200-day MA, not a great technical sign. Wait for sustained momentum above 200-day MA. A keeper over time. He owns BCE instead.
WEAK BUY
The telcos are an oligopoly and pay big dividends, 4.5% by Telus. She prefers BCE because it pays 5.5%. More travel means more phone roaming charges for the telcos. Also, more immigration to Canada drives growth as these folks will buy a phone rather than landline. As for Rogers, we'll see what unfolds, if Rogers loses customers to its rivals.
BUY
They had good earnings, growth of 8-9% better than Bell. They made interesting gains. Saturation is high in telecoms, so there's limited growth in this industry. To make more money, you must give value-added services. In this sector, Telus has the best growth sectors while Bell offers the most stable income generation. He own both companies. You can enter Telus now.
BUY
Believes is a good business that will continue to preform well. Lots of headwinds in macro environment, but would be a good long term hold.
HOLD
Great company. Tremendous enterprise in Canada. Perplexed by purchase of LWRK at a large premium, needed to issue equity. They're trying to become a different telco. Happy to own for income.
BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Telus pays a fat 4.72% dividend yield at a % payout ratio. It trades at 23x earnings and a mere 0.54 beta. Shares are actually trading at 2022 lows beneath $29, but that’s in line with the overall TSX. Surprisingly, Telus has beat only one of its last four quarters, met two, but missed one. Not exactly a slam dunk. Read 3 defensive stocks weather uncertain markets for our full analysis.
DON'T BUY
Like Canadian banks, the telcos are a cartel. There should be more telcos for competition which would benefit Canadians. Telcos won't grow much more than overall GDP. The price of data is slowly coming down. They have excess cash flow which they mostly pay in dividends. Growth is 5-10% like a bond. Neither wonderful nor terrible investments. Not for him.
BUY
It has done a great job spinning off businesses and buying ones like Lifeworks. It pays a great yield well over 4%. What hurt them was the slowdown in western oil, but oil is definitely coming back. He continues to buy it.
SELL
Best in class for margins, growth, cashflow generation. Premium multiple. Take profits. If you like 5G and increase in data consumption, you're better to buy the tower operators like AMT, CCI, and SBAC. All 3 are down on the year, but growth profiles are robust.
BUY
Can't go too far wrong as an income play. Revenue growth has been pretty good. Canada's doing great, especially out West where Telus is. Doesn't like the huge capex fibre spend. Looks like being free cashflow positive starting later this year and for the rest of the decade. Expect significant dividend growth.
BUY

BUY
Likes Canadian telecom space. Thinks company has expensive valuation. Generally speaking thinks space is good place to be. Company well positioned with fiber and wireless infrastructure build out.
