This summary was created by AI, based on 84 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

BCE, BCE
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.)
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.
