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
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.
COMMENT
As a dividend play it is fine. Prefers Rogers (RCI.B-T) or BCE (BCE-T). 5.8% yield.
COMMENT
Rogers (RCI.B-T) or Telus (T-T) long term (5 years)? Prefers Rogers, which has more potential growth and which he owns. 6% yield.
COMMENT
Have to do more CapX to upgrade their systems from CDMA to GSM, which will put a strain on the balance sheet. 6.2% yield should be sustainable.
COMMENT
Midterm bonds yielding about 7%? Doesn't own any Telcos. Feels they are very highly regulated so there's not a lot of upside. However, this one short-term at 7% is okay but feels are better places to be.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) Good yield at 6.2%. Not much excitement over the next year. If you want yield, Buy. If you want capital gains don't bother.
