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
TOP PICK
Looks at telecom stocks as defensive. The numbers on the wireless side are huge. Continues to generate great cash. Business is getting restructured. On a valuation basis, it's cheap. Trading at 5.5 X operating cash flow. Growing.
DON'T BUY
Wire line numbers were better than expected for Telus (T-T) but even more so for BCE (BCE-T). Wireless on the other hand was better for Telus, but not so good for BCE. These large caps, grinding sideways, do not offer a lot of potential.
SELL
Fully valued at $40. Not sure there is any potential growth from this point. Easy money has been made. Take some profits.
PAST TOP PICK
(Was a Top Pick Dec 7/04. Up 16%.) Still likes it. Getting some upside from the wireless side. Still some opportunity for growth through moving to the consumer with new devices. Feels the non-wireless business is not at risk as much as people may expect.
DON'T BUY
From a fair market point of view, it is expensive. Would like to see it pull back before he got into it. Voice over internet protocol is coming down and heaven knows what that's going to do to the telephone market.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 14/05. Up 3%.) Still likes the story. Likes where they are positioned in the wireless sector. Improving their wire line business as well. Trading at about 5.5 X operating cash flow. Very cheap.
TOP PICK
Under 6 X operating cash.Wireless business is really well positioned. Now down to the 3 core players, Rogers, Telus and BCE. Still growing and generating lots of free cash.
BUY
36% of revenues come from the wireless side. Rogers took out Fido, so there's less competition. Trades at 5.5 X enterprise value to cash flow before taxes which is in line with its peers and with a better growth profile.
TOP PICK
Generating a lot of cash. Has a lot of free cash flow. A low valuation compared to others. Wireless is at a very good point for generating cash flow.
TOP PICK
Really likes the wireless business. Very strong growth. Executing well. A big free cash flow generator. They're buying in debt, de-levering the company so you are getting the added multiple expansion because of the de-levering. Can grow 12%.
TRADE
Has had a terrific run. Quite concerned about voice over IP.
TRADE
A great long term hold.
TOP PICK
Of all the telecoms, it has the highest exposure to the wireless side in Canada. Generates a lot of free cash flow. Increasing their dividend. Buying back stock.
DON'T BUY
Generally negative on telephone stocks because of concerns on the competitiveness of the business.
WEAK BUY
Will be a very difficult sector over the foreseeable future. Voice over internet and a real dog fight in wireless. CRTC is now licensing the broadcaster to go into telephony. Would consider taking some profits.
