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
BUY
Cheap. Still have quite a bit of leverage on. Expects some very good growth on their wireless business but questions declines they will have on their wire lines but expect wireless to out do this. At the current valuation with a current yield, this stock makes a lot of sense.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 24/09. Up 7.44%.) 4.95% bond due May 15/14.
COMMENT
Good company but feels there's more growth in BCE (BCE-T).
BUY
Good solid holding. Owns but feels Rogers (RCI.B-T) has more growth and dividend growth opportunities.
DON'T BUY
4.95% Bond maturing May 15/14. BBB+ rated, just above investment-grade. Likes that it is within the 5-year yield curve however, credit spread has started to shrink to about 3.87%. You are paying almost $104 for a $100 bond. Probably better choices with better credit ratings and higher yields.
TOP PICK
Good 1st quarter. Cutting costs dramatically with a surprise dividend increase. Looking for 10% earnings growth over the next few years as well as dividend increases. 5.1% dividend. Looks very cheap.
BUY
Stock is done very well and provides a very attractive, safe yield of over 5%. If you want income, this is a good investment. Getting wireless subscriber growth. Very good at cutting costs and have been using this to increase dividends.
WAIT
This is a dividend play and is the reason for the stock moving up. Increased their dividend. If you don't own, there will be opportunities to buy down the road.
BUY
There will be inflation, which will affect dividends. Could start by 2012. Likes telcos because they have pricing power i.e. the demand for their product is such that they can raise prices without losing customers. Good dividends.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 16/09. Up 28.74%.)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 23/09. Up 24.9% excluding dividends.) Core market is in Alberta and BC so it doesn't have to compete with Rogers (RCI.B-T).
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 14/09. Up 33.81%.) Still a Buy.
COMMENT
Dividend yield of nearly 5% is looking at little rich right now. Stock has been overbought.
COMMENT
Telcos did poorly when the market was soaring but when it started to level off telcos started to come back. This one has been a poor performer versus BCE (BCE-T). Also has stronger competition out West. Might be worth looking at but in the short term BCE is still the better one.
TOP PICK
It is a yield story for him, no longer growth. Dividend is sustainable. Well entrenched to fend off competitors.
