Telus Corp (T-T) faces significant scrutiny from analysts following a recent 55% cut in its dividend, which, while easing immediate concerns, leads to questions about long-term sustainability. Experts highlight the company’s challenges, particularly its high payout ratio and the competition in the Canadian telecom industry. While some view Telus as a stable income provider, the lack of organic growth and potential for further dividend cuts weigh heavily on sentiment. The transition to a new CEO raises hopes for restructuring and asset sales, but many analysts suggest caution due to the broader economic pressures affecting the telecom sector. Overall, while Telus holds value for income-focused investors, concerns about revenue stagnation and high debt persist, leading to a complex outlook for the company.

BUY
Though near its all-time high, you could still open a position today. Most recent quarter they reaffirmed dividend growth rate of 7-10% for next 3 years. Payout ratio is expected to go down. Free cash flow is expected to double over the next 3 years. The stock probably has some upside.
COMMENT

A good income stream? He owns Telus instead of Rogers. He is studying the whole rollover of the wireless business in Canada. Prices are starting to drop on increased competitive pressures. It might be early to enter the space. He would prefer BCE-T or T-T.

HOLD

BCE vs. Telus vs. Verizon He owns all three plus AT&T. Verizon is still the #1 network in the U.S. and still pays a great dividend. All three will continue to do a good job. If you own them, hold them.

COMMENT
It is in a very competitive market. Recent results suggest the move to streaming is weighing on Shaw. There is increasing competition in the wireless space. It is too early to tell how they will do here. It is an oligopolistic industry so there are some limits to how high rates can go from here. It has a yield in excess of 4%. He would prefer to look at BCE-T or T-T instead.
DON'T BUY
TELUS vs. ROGERS All Canadian telcos and utilities are overpriced as investors expect a recession later this year of mid-2020. $39.52 is his target price for Telus; $61.22 for Rogers. Investors are attacted by the yields.
COMMENT
5 yr. hold? He does not own T-T -- it holds BCE-T instead. Interest rates impact these types of stocks. He thinks T-T may be able to continue increasing dividends, but they have exposure to Waiwae, so he wold be cautious.
COMMENT
Telus vs. Rogers The telcos are an amazing business in Canada, because they lack competion and keep adding new lines of business. The telcos control the internet which everyone keeps using. He owns both, but would choose Rogers, because they get a whole bunch of assets, like the Blue Jays, outside the internet. Rogers also has a smart CEO who is improving the balance sheet.
HOLD
He regrets not buying this years ago. Very well-managed and has done well in wireless. Today's prices anticipate growth, but the wireless market in Canada is saturated. Margins will remain high, because wireless in Canada is an oligopoly with little competition. Be cautious here. BCE is the dominant player in this space. He wouldn't buy it at current prices, but would likely hold.
HOLD
The telcos have rebounded well and pay good yields. Nothing wrong with Telus. He owns BCE for its higher yield and defence.
HOLD
There's wireless competition coming. They executed well in Q4, beating on subscriber growth and showed reduced churn. He sees 3% revenue growth and 7% dividend growth with a 75% payout ratio. It's a defensive, quality long-term owner. It's a yield proxy. If you own, you're okay, but don't buy a first position.
BUY
He's long owned this. A good 7% dividend grower. The whole space is challenged by revenue growth by the wireless side. Telus has actually been expanding the data side. He likes it.
BUY
He likes is the telco in general in Canada. A year ago when interest rates were expected to go higher, they didn't look that attractive. He owns Rogers for some of their media assets. But still likes this one. Projecting a dividend increase.
BUY
The bad is that last quarter they had lower margins. and there is more competition. But they are executing well. Growth of 8 to 10% 2018 to 2020. 80% payout ratio. All in this is a good name. It won;t lead our portfolio higher but it is a good name without a lot of downside risk. (Analysts’ price target is $51.73)
BUY
He briefly owned this. He's heard that Telus has spent a lot of money building their fibre-optics network and could increase their free cash flow. Its growth rate isn't high enough for him, but it is the strongest telco in this sector. A good stock.
COMMENT
BCE vs Telus BCE's growth potential is a little limited vs. Telus. Telus' dividend is okay, but a little lower than BCE's. BCE was one of the few stocks rising when the rest of the market fell. Not a bad idea to also buy Telus. Both are good for cash flow through their dividends. That's why he bought BCE. Telus has a little more growth.
