This summary was created by AI, based on 83 opinions in the last 12 months.

Telus Corp has seen a turbulent time recently, largely driven by concerns over its dividend sustainability amidst high debt levels and a challenging telecom environment marked by price competition and regulatory hurdles. A significant dividend cut has been anticipated, leading many experts to fear that the current yield, which hovers around 7-11%, may not be sustainable in the long term. Analysts are divided, with some viewing the incoming CEO as a potential catalyst for positive changes, while others remain skeptical about the company's future growth prospects. Overall, investors are advised to either hold on for now or accumulate shares gradually as they watch for improvements in cash flow and debt management. The long-term outlook may be promising if Telus can successfully monetize non-core assets and stabilize its financial position.

RCI.B
BUY
He really likes Telus phone service. Not as sexy as Rogers with the sports team, but it's done very well. Again, buy stocks in companies that you use and whose work and products you like.
BUY
Steady, consistent dividend growth. At times, lower yield than BCE because the dividend grows faster. Diversifying away from wireline. Below the radar, it's in home security and healthcare. Core telco is sleepy, but these other businesses accelerate organic growth rate. Exactly what you want to own, right here right now, going into an economic downturn.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 30/22, Up 4%) Believes company has strong recurring revenue business model. Is a defensive stock that will hold up. Everybody owns a phone these days which increases demand for services. High subscriber base and strong dividend yield (5%).
BUY
Has strong dividend. Good chart. Good company to invest in (everyone uses a cellphone). Recent price correction putting pressure on stock.
BUY
Canadian telcos face some pressure in capex for 5G. But Telus is branching into various businesses like health and agriculture very well. It's a safe place to invest in and pays over a 4% dividend yield. A good place to invest money to withstand a downturn.
BUY
Favourite play in the Canadian telco space. Great job of capital allocation with spinoff of TIXT. Considering spinoff of healthcare division, additive to shareholders. Free cashflow starting to come up a lot next year. Roaming charges have returned. Expecting good results.
WEAK BUY
T vs. BCE vs. RCI.B 3 great companies. Lots of drama with RCI.B, valuation is the most attractive, you have to buy it. BCE is doing great things, becoming more of a utility over time, sets up well. Telus doing everything right, but high valuation, best executor, but not as much upside. All are buys, in order: RCI.B, BCE, then Telus.
BUY
Telcos are right up there in his dividend strategy. Don't buy it if you think interest rates will continue higher, but he thinks we're getting to peak hawkishness. Attractive time to buy, as you might get the tailwind of falling rates next few quarters.
TOP PICK
Owns shares in the company herself. Great business that does well in recessionary environment. Stable earnings with high dividend yield.
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.
