Aug 5, 2026, 12:00 amThis 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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

HOLD
If Canada bans Huawei would this company be hurt as they are using Huawei equipment to build the 5G network - They do have a lot of their equipment from Huawei. They would have to replace this equipment. It might cost them some money but eventually it will be passed through to the consumer. It is an incremental expense but will be manageable. Attractive yield. Nothing wrong with this company as part of an income bucket.

BUY
They've increased their dividend which is decent around 4%. As long as wireless is growing, this'll be okay. There's little competition in Canada. The telecoms have done well recently, because of anticipated interest rate increases.

TOP PICK
Loves the pure play wireless positioning that Telus has. The more we do on our smartphones, the more we drive data usage and that translates into higher bill and more dollars and average revenue per user going up. Been spending a lot of money with expanding the 4G network and the technology. Feels that some of that capex is softening which is good has dividend growth investors, should see some cash come back to boost the dividend. Like the positioning and the valuation. Yield 4.6%. (Analysts’ price target is $50.77)

TOP PICK
They are an oligopoly. They have an international division. They are selling software and hardware into the health industry. He expects continued dividend growth. They are a well managed company with a low churn which means their customers are not leaving. Yield = 4.6%
(Analysts’ price target is $50.66)
