This summary was created by AI, based on 78 opinions in the last 12 months.

Telus Corp (T-T) has faced significant scrutiny from investors and analysts amid concerns regarding its dividend sustainability and overall growth potential. While some experts appreciate the attractive dividend yield, currently around 9%, many express doubts about its ability to maintain this payout, suggesting a likely cut could be necessary to strengthen the balance sheet. The telco sector overall is viewed as stagnant, with heightened competition and a lack of population growth negatively impacting revenue prospects. Discussions around the company’s debt levels, capital expenditures, and the impact of a new CEO suggest that while there may be turnaround potential, the immediate outlook remains cautious. Overall, investors should be prepared for a period of restructuring, with mixed opinions on whether Telus can reinvigorate its growth strategy in the face of prevailing challenges.

RCI.B
BUY
Excellent earnings this quarter. Good wireless growth. Raised the dividend and promised to keep raising it up to and including 2013. Wouldn't expect much capital appreciation as it is pretty well fully priced. If you want a nice tax effective yield will continue to grow, this is a pretty good choice.
TOP PICK
Excellent dividends which are rising by 10% a year. Expect they will merge their 2 classes of stock which will give them more liquidity.
DON'T BUY
Will be a little impeded in the next couple of years in terms of growth. He’d rather own this than a utility, or bank or pipeline.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 10/10, Up 25.70%) Executed better than expected on TV offering.
BUY
Shaw’s Wifi strategy should be good for Telus, but it hasn’t moved. It did well because of the high yield. She likes it. Fundamentals are decent.
COMMENT
For income players, he would go to BCE (BCE-T) and this one. For growth he would go to Rogers (RCI.B-T). Because of the increasing competition, he is out of this sector for the present time.
BUY
Had a great quarter. The story for telcos is smart phones growth. Smart phone adoption in Canada is only about 35%-40%. Could see this getting close to 70%-80% over the next 2 years. (See Top Picks.)
BUY
One of the “best in class”. Competition telcos feared has impacted them a little bit but they benefiting from the changeover to data, which is now the growth engine. Telcos will be in better shape than cable because they are coming out with the fiber TV.
HOLD
Prefers cable companies.
COMMENT
Has a pretty good yield, but not the highest yield nor the highest upside of the telcos. Had a good run over the last year and has probably performed the best but he prefers Rogers (RCI.B-T) growth prospects better.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 14/10. Up 45.5%.) Would wait for a pullback before buying any of the telcos.
BUY
Will the upward trend continue? This is the right space to be in at this time. There is a strong upward trend that should continue. (See Top Picks.)
TOP PICK
They expect to raise their dividend, perhaps twice a year over the next 3 years. A 10% dividend growth rate. Very strong wireless exposure and have done a good job with it. Have potential to grow their business in the OptiTV, IP based television services.
BUY
Great franchise. Technically speaking, fantastic hart with higher highs and higher lows. As a telecom with a high dividend, dividend might not be as strong as interest rates eventually move up. Looks okay.
BUY
In a good market area on the west coast and in Alberta with a good yield.
