This summary was created by AI, based on 83 opinions in the last 12 months.

Telus Corp is currently facing significant challenges, with many analysts expressing concerns about its declining stock performance and the ongoing risk of a dividend cut. Despite a high dividend yield of around 9%, experts are divided on the sustainability of this yield given the company's high payout ratio and increasing competition within the telecom sector. The upcoming leadership transition with a new CEO is viewed as a potential turning point, but skepticism remains due to the ongoing issues within the industry, including regulatory pressures and market competition. Many suggest that Telus may be undervalued compared to its peers, but caution against expecting substantial growth in the near term due to the overall unfavorable industry environment and the potential for further capital expenditures without immediate returns. Long-term holders are advised to be patient and monitor developing strategies for debt reduction and financial stability.

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.
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%.
