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 ON WEAKNESS
Stability, yield, and growth. Wait to see implications from the Rogers/Shaw deal. On his radar. If you own it, hold. Add on a pullback.
BUY
Well positioned. Excellent management. Spinning out divisions, which is wise. Good national player, good scope.
BUY
The Rogers feud will probably benefit Telus and Bell. Has not bought into telecos because there are better deals. Good dividend growth, stability and growth. Their strategy in the West is good.
BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Telus pays a 4.55% dividend yield and BCE 5.54%. Comparing the two, BCE stock boasts better numbers: a PE of 21.2x vs. 29.6x, a profit margin of 12.35% vs. 7.86%, and an ROI of 5.32% vs. 3.44%.

WEAK BUY
He likes the sector but this is not his top pick in the sector because of the high valuation. RCI.B-T would have more growth ahead of it. Decent dividends, stable earnings are great for this sector, though. He thinks telecoms should be valued higher across the board.
HOLD
Like a bond, with slightly better returns. Stable industries. Protected as part of the oligopoly. Few growth prospects, as a large amount of profits are paid out as a dividend. ROIC isn't enough to make him interested.
WEAK BUY
T vs. BCE Likes telecoms in general, giving a mix of some growth with very good dividend yields. Yield looks secure, with about a 5% growth rate. Yield about 4.4%. He prefers BCE, with a yield of 5.44% and its consistent cashflow and growth. Media, sports teams, and different networks are helpful to BCE's growth.
BUY

He likes the telcos and prefers BCE. Telcos pay big yields, are stable yields and enjoy an oligopoly in Canada. Shaw is selling to Rogers (pending approval). Quebecor wants spectrum outside Quebec. And all companies are investing heavily in 5G. Once this is complete, the telcos will be golden. He loves this space. Telus is good, but lacks the media assets of BCE, which is a disadvantage.

DON'T BUY

Usually defaults to BCE for the telecom space. Telus is more aggressive. They are gunning it. The data analysis and AI is their big investment space, instead of content and legacy business. This is probably already priced in.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 18/20, Up 24%) Economic growth still drives core business. Some non-core investments have shone in the past year, such as healthcare, which will drive additional growth.
COMMENT
Do not have any global telcos in the mix. Holds Telus in the TFSA portfolio. The pursuit of healthcare has rewarded share holders over time. Telco companies are facing increasing costs. Free cashflow discipline is important.
HOLD
Telcos are attractive income stocks, increasing dividend every year. Roaming impacted because less travel, but this will come back. Hold it for income. Good at increasing productivity. (Analysts’ price target is $29.65)
COMMENT
All the carriers are offering 5G. He does not expect 5G will result in increased growth in any of the carriers. The biggest opportunity in 5G is a company that provides a 5G app, product or service that really takes advantage of 5G that everyone will want. He has not found such a company.
BUY
Management has created a lot of shareholder value. Recently decided to increase capex, increase fibre to the home, and take advantage of 5G growth prospects. Post-pandemic travel and strengthening Alberta economy will boost revenue. Management somewhat underrated, but has always done a good job. Nice yield of 4.7%.
TOP PICK

Benefits whether Shaw deal goes through or not. Either Rogers has wasted a year spinning its wheels, or there will be fewer operators and Shaw was a stiff competitor. Great place to be. Issued debt, so they are cashed up, but this put pressure on the stock. Nice entry point, with still room to move. Yield is 4.68%. (Analysts’ price target is $29.44)
