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

Telus Corp is currently facing significant challenges, with many analysts expressing concerns about its declining stock performance and the ongoing risk of a dividend cut. Despite a high dividend yield of around 9%, experts are divided on the sustainability of this yield given the company's high payout ratio and increasing competition within the telecom sector. The upcoming leadership transition with a new CEO is viewed as a potential turning point, but skepticism remains due to the ongoing issues within the industry, including regulatory pressures and market competition. Many suggest that Telus may be undervalued compared to its peers, but caution against expecting substantial growth in the near term due to the overall unfavorable industry environment and the potential for further capital expenditures without immediate returns. Long-term holders are advised to be patient and monitor developing strategies for debt reduction and financial stability.

BCE
HOLD
This is a stock where you are getting a little bit of appreciation as well as some yield. Telecom stocks are behaving all right. Wireless business is good but there is growing competition. (Prefers companies that are supplying infrastructure for telecoms.)
HOLD
Likes the outlook for the telecom stocks, growth of wireless especially. Starting to move aggressively into the TV market giving them further growth opportunities.
BUY
In his higher yield portfolio. Likes the business. Prefers BCE
BUY
It has recovered from 2007. Keep raising the dividend. They are really gaining a lot of momentum here. RCI.B is more attractive to him.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 3/09. Up 43%.) New TV product, IPTV is doing well in western Canada. Can bundle it with their other wire line and wireless products. Main competitor Shaw (SHR.B-T) is just starting to build out a wireless network. 2 dividend increases this year.
DON'T BUY
Rogers (RCI.B-T), BCE (BCE-T) or Telus (T-T)? Telecoms look a little expensive. On a pull back he would be tempted to buy BCE, which has momentum and is gaining on wireless. Average revenue per unit is going up. Moving into internet protocol television (IPTV) is going to make them very competitive with cable companies.
DON'T BUY
BCE (BCE-T) or Telus (T-T)? Has no exposure to telecoms right now. Too much competition. Dividends on these 2 are safe but don’t see a lot of earnings growth.
DON'T BUY
Doesn’t like any of the telecoms because of the competition coming down the pipe with the newer mobiles but if she were choosing one, it would be this as it is in the part of the country that is seeing better growth.
COMMENT
Telecoms. BCE (BCE-T), Telus (T-T) or Rogers (RCI.B-T)? BCE is more of a dividend play with 5.4%. Growth is close to 6% long term. Rogers is more of a growth story. He would rate Telus as third.
TOP PICK
(Preferred A) Likes the free cash flow and dividends (currently over 4%).ROE of about 13%. Good growth potential despite all the competition. Has a new product called OpticTV, which has proven to be quite successful and will help them to compete.
TOP PICK
3rd quarter was in line. Have gone through the big CapX of their HSP overlay. Good free cash flow and attractive yield of about 4.6%.
COMMENT
Sees the 3 major telcos, BCE (BCE-T), Rogers (RCI.B-T) and Telus (T-T) as being on a continuum from conservative and slower growth with BCE through to aggressive and higher growth on Rogers end. Has all 3.
BUY
Likes the outlook for telecom. This is a growing business and a growing yield business. Still further room to go up.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 27/09. Up 47.39%.) Still a Hold.
COMMENT
Biggest growth potential between BCE (BCE-T) and Telus (T-T) for a long-term investor? Tends to favour BCE because of us competition and more room to cut costs. Expect they will both grow dividends 5%-10% a year but thinks Rogers (RCI.B-T) and Shaw (SJR.B-T) program with her dividends and buybacks shares faster. (See Top Picks.)
