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.

BUY
Good long-term hold for income and growth. Yields about 4.5%. Considering this for his fund. There could be a significant cost integrating GMS but would be offset by the revenue they would receive.
DON'T BUY
Telecom has not been a space that has been performing well. There are concerns about wire line revenues as well as the wireless side. If he had to pick one, it would be Bell Alient (BA.UN-T), which is paying about 9.5% and just recently raised their distribution and only paying out about 90% of their cash flow.
DON'T BUY
Problematic. Was a growth story and traded at about 6X EBITDA and about 15X earnings. Now it's a value story and the question is, is it worth it now. Would be hesitant on this as part of their biggest growth was the wireless section and they are having a lot of trouble with it. Looking for it to go lower. Would prefer it at 9X PE.
DON'T BUY
A slow one business on the wireline side and have competition on the wireless side.
BUY
Sold off because 1) the market sold off and 2) the government is going to sell Spectrum, which would give them competition. Not sure where the competition is going to get all the financing to build the communication towers, etc. Has great cash flow and trades for less than 5X cash flow. Typically they trade at 5.5 or 6X cash flow. Should see at least a 10% upside from these levels.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) He recently sold his holdings. They are going to have to spend $500 million to upgrade to GSM, which is a negative.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Technicals are still negative and the trend is down.
BUY
Very attractive dividend. Just announced they are turning themselves into a GSM phone provider, which means that they will be able to operate their phones around the world, which will attract very handsome roaming fees. If you are prepared to have a long view this one offers some interesting upside.
DON'T BUY
The highest growth part of this company has been wireless. This area has lost momentum to Rogers (RCI.B-T). It has to get its act together and start to attract customers. The problem is that it is locked into CDMA technology.
TOP PICK
Addition of new mobile customers lagged and it's down 7%. 3.6% yield. This is an industry that will continue to grow.
DON'T BUY
Defined as a growth stock but has now been smashed into a value stock. Had a bad year on price performance. Starting to lose market share with a negative impact on their wireless. Also, Spectrum auction is about to come on is going to create more competition. Landlines have deteriorated. Will have to spend a lot of money to keep clients. If buying, try to get it in the low $40's.
DON'T BUY
Been a growth stock for the past number of years. As wireless penetration increased and more services added on, they’ve grown much quicker than expected. Now transitioning from growth into steady state. This can be painful. Wireless auction could put more pressure on them. Could see the price under $40 for a short period.
TOP PICK
4% dividend yield. If you own Bell Canada (BCE-T) and it is taken out, and you want exposure to the telecom sector and you want to replace that nice, fat dividend with the dividend tax credit, this is an obvious pick. No longer trading at a huge PE multiple. Solid growth prospects going forward.
WEAK BUY
(Market Call Minute.) This would be a Hold to moderate Buy. Suffering a bit from the spectrum announcement and probably increasing capital expenditure for wireless extension.
COMMENT
Have been off the boil. Have been hit by their own operational problems and low numbers.
