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.

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 12/09, Up 13%+dividend) People were concerned when new entrants came into market. He thought it was over done at the time.
HOLD
He thinks BCE and Verizon are a lot better. People are looking for what is undervalued and nice yield and this one fits that.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 12/09, Up 12.07%) Due for a good year because we haven’t seen much market penetration from the new entrants.
TOP PICK
5.5% dividend yield. Average revenue is declining. Growing their data and TV business. Likes it because it is beat up and should grow in 2011. 1% capital appreciation expected this year.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 9/09. Down 5% excluding dividends.) Likes the telcos and this one has a nice high yield.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 9/09. Up 4.72%.) The panic over the new entrants in the wireless market is a little overdone.
BUY
Excellent dividend. Telcos are not a heavy weighting in his portfolios. It will be some time before they lose significant market share against the new players but there will be some challenge to growth and margins. Good defensive play. BCE (BCE-T) would be his 1st choice.
WAIT
Starting to look interesting again. With the headwinds of Globalive now getting approval and a few new players in wireless, expect margins will be under pressure for a couple of quarters. Earnings growth is okay.
BUY
Mildly positive guidance given recently. It is priced into the stock price. It is attractive at these prices and is his favorite telecom.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 22/09. Up 18.27%.) 4.95% bond maturing March 15/17.
BUY
Dividend is secure, likes company. Hold on to it, there will be capital appreciation.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 16/09. Up 19.32%.) Still a Buy.
TOP PICK
Telecom and recently was granted the right to sell Apple iPods that will create further revenues. Also invested in a new network for wireless and sharing the cost with Bell (BCE-T). Just issued new bonds at very attractive rates, which takes away from higher-priced bonds they issued years ago. Trading under 4X cash flow. Looking for a dividend increases in 2011.
BUY
Reasonably well positioned in a very competitive environment. Does more capital investments than Bell (BCE-T) or Rogers (RCI.B-T). She prefers the latter but this company is fine. Dividends should be safe with a possibility of increases in the future.
COMMENT
Upgraded their network so quality should be the same as Rogers (RCI.B-T) but sees more growth coming out of Rogers. Also prefers Bell (BCE-T) to this one.
