This summary was created by AI, based on 77 opinions in the last 12 months.

Telus Corp (T-T) has faced significant scrutiny from analysts regarding its dividend sustainability and overall growth potential. Many experts express concerns about the company's heavy debt loads and competitive pressures within the telecom sector, leading to a consensus that a dividend cut may be forthcoming to improve financial flexibility. Despite these challenges, some analysts appreciate the company's long-term asset potential and the new CEO's ability to possibly drive positive changes. The stock's high dividend yield, hovering around 9%, attracts income-focused investors, yet uncertainties about future performance dominate expert opinions. While there are those who see potential in asset monetization, the prevailing sentiment suggests caution as the telecom landscape remains highly competitive and challenged by regulatory issues.

Rogers, RCI.B
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.)
COMMENT
Prefer Rogers (RCI.B-T) for its better growth.
BUY
Heck of a chart. Keeps raising the dividend 5% a year. Not his preferred in this space. Earnings will not be that great this quarter.
COMMENT
Expects the dividend to continue to increase at about 5%-6% a year.
BUY
Likes the telco area in Canada and likes them for the income. Likes the stability and defensive characterizes.
HOLD
Good solid hold and won't go down much in the correction. His favourite is Rogers (RCI.B-T), which has better growth and almost the same dividend.
COMMENT
Good wireless exposure and growth prospects but concerned it is getting a little too high but that is 15%-20% away. 4.5% yield.
BUY
Likes the telephone/quasi-utility space. Chart shows a pretty good trend line. Next resistance point would be about $48. 4.8% yield.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 24/09. Up 9.33%.) 4.95% bond due May 15/14. Still likes.
COMMENT
The whole telecom space is getting more competitive with wireless. Wire line business is declining so they need growth in wireless to offset that. Have done a great job in cost cutting. Solid long-term hold if you're looking for income.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 4/09. Up 33.7%.) Still likes.
