This summary was created by AI, based on 84 opinions in the last 12 months.

Telus Corp (T-T) faces significant scrutiny from analysts following a recent 55% cut in its dividend, which, while easing immediate concerns, leads to questions about long-term sustainability. Experts highlight the company’s challenges, particularly its high payout ratio and the competition in the Canadian telecom industry. While some view Telus as a stable income provider, the lack of organic growth and potential for further dividend cuts weigh heavily on sentiment. The transition to a new CEO raises hopes for restructuring and asset sales, but many analysts suggest caution due to the broader economic pressures affecting the telecom sector. Overall, while Telus holds value for income-focused investors, concerns about revenue stagnation and high debt persist, leading to a complex outlook for the company.

BCE, BCE
DON'T BUY
Has a short sell on the stock.
WEAK BUY
3 1/2 years without a signed labor agreement which indicates some kind of a problem. Management has turned the company around. Significantly cash flow and earnings are up. Low dividend yield.
WEAK BUY
Prefers over BCE as there's more expectation of growth through their wireless side.
DON'T BUY
Fairly attractive because of the wireless business. It is still overshadowed by the wireline business with limited growth.
TOP PICK
Operates at 4 1/2 X operating costs. Balance sheet is indecent shape. Huge in the wireless business. Growing at a tremendous rate.
DON'T BUY
Doesn't feel it's an attractive security at this time.
BUY
Hasn't really gone anywhere over the last year. The bid for Microcell is a good deal. Expect an increase in demand and better pricing if the deal goes through.
PAST TOP PICK
(A top pick Oct 2/03. Up 3.3%.) Still thinks it's a great story. Have tons of cash.
TOP PICK
Likes the wireless business. Very cheap. A free cash flow yield of over 10%.
HOLD
Voiced over Internet is going to be the key issue facing telecoms over the long-term. Competition is growing.
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Short Feb 23/04. Made 7%.) Fair market value is around $14. A very poorly run company.

BUY
Doesn't like the competitive environment or the pricing in the telecoms.
BUY
Likes, because it is very leveraged to the growth in wireless. Handset sales and subscribers usage are increasing.
DON'T BUY
Didn't like their acquisition at such an enormous price creating a large debt. The local and long-distance phone businesses are mature businesses subject to price competition from voice over Internet. Very difficult for them to grow.
TOP PICK
Top Short (A top short Dec 19/03. No change.) Came in with some pretty lousy numbers in the 4th quarter. Fair market value on very optimistic estimates is only about $14/15.
