Telus Corp is currently facing challenges typical of the Canadian telecommunications sector, including competitive pressures and concerns about dividend sustainability. The recent appointment of a new CEO has raised expectations for potential changes in management strategy, particularly regarding the maintenance or possible cut of the company's dividend, which is currently yielding around 9%. While many experts see some long-term value given the company's assets and market position, there is a prevailing sentiment of caution due to the high dividend payout ratio and significant debt levels. Analysts suggest a mixed outlook, with views ranging from holding for income to the potential necessity of asset sales to stabilize the company's financial health. Overall, Telus represents a more conservative investment choice with defensive characteristics, suitable for income-seeking investors, albeit with inherent risks linked to the telecom industry's growth outlook.

BCE
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.
COMMENT
Income play, not growth. Spectrum auction created fear that foreign players with deep pockets would enter the Canadian market giving a lot of competition. They are finding it difficult to increase their wireless base and amount spent by their customers.
HOLD
5.7% dividend is safe. Rogers (RCI.B-T) has the most exposure to wireless and cable and Bell (BCE-T) has the least exposure so this company falls in between. If you're willing to take risks, Rogers would be your choice but for a more defensive play, Bell would be it.
BUY
There has been a real under evaluation of the telephone sector in Canada. From the start of the year, they have not done anything while the rest of the market has gone up 25%. Good, deep value Buy.
DON'T BUY
This stock has quite a decent dividend at 5.75% but the new wireless competition threatens to damage the earnings outlook. Concerned about all of the wireless stocks. (See Top Picks.)
DON'T BUY
Not a lot of growth in this company. 5.8% yield is quite attractive. If you want a telco, even BCE (BCE-T) would be more attractive with a stronger balance sheet and a yield of over 6.4%.
DON'T BUY
Less attractive then BCE and a higher yield. The iPhone is less profitable than a regular due to subsidies and data volumes.
DON'T BUY
Less attractive then BCE and a higher yield. The iPhone is less profitable than a regular due to subsidies and data volumes.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 16/09. Down 19.51%.) Yield of close to 6%. Long-term growth rate is going to be in the mid-single digit area. This, along with the 6% dividend, you should get 11%-13% average annual return.
BUY
Feels the dividend is safe. You get more from this than you would from a bank account.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Yielding 5.8%. It is a discount to Rogers (RCI.B-T) and Bell (BCE-T). Expect it to pick up from here.
