Quebecor Inc. (QBR.B) is gaining traction in the telecom sector, largely attributed to its acquisition of Freedom Mobile, which is positioning the company for enhanced growth, particularly in 5G services across eastern Canada. Analysts note Quebecor's impressive financial performance characterized by a high return on equity (ROE) of 39% and strong free cash flow, allowing for debt reduction and an investment-grade bond rating. The company's strategy includes aggressive share buybacks, and it is reported as the best-performing telecom stock this year. While some experts express caution regarding long-term growth challenges in the telecom industry, others highlight the opportunity for market share expansion and value creation in a largely undervalued sector. Overall, Quebecor seems to appeal to both growth and income investors due to its manageable payout ratio and yield of 4.2%.
Our PAST TOP PICK with QBR.B has triggered its stop at $33. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 11%, when combined with our previous guidance.
He'd buy today, but remember that these are tough businesses over the medium- to long-term. Doesn't mean you have a long-term, high-revenue-growth business.
Telcos have lagged other yield sectors, and this creates an opportunity. He's buying all the telcos. This is his #4 choice in the space, as it has long-term issues in network buildout.
The traditional players have to keep reinvesting capital to keep up with competitors, who all have the same problem. Only interesting play in the space is QBR.B. No market share, good product offering, and no clients. So any market share it grabs would be a big boost to its business.
Hydro One is too expensive to buy here. QBR.B is in a very challenged space with the 4 well-capitalized players. Whole telecom industry is cheap, QBR.B will work over time, decent dividend.
Gun to the head, he'd pick QBR.B. No gun, putting capital into a dividend stock for 3-5 years, he'd pick neither and put money into MFC instead utilizing the Canadian dividend tax credit.
We reiterate this disruptive source in the telecommunications space in Canada as a TOP PICK. Management announced it has met all the commitments required to complete the acquisition of Freedom Mobile, which will position it well for expanding 5G in eastern Canada. We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired. It trades at 10x earnings and supports a 39% ROE. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow. We recommend maintaining the stop at $25, looking to achieve $37 -- upside potential of 25%. Yield 4.2%
(Analysts’ price target is $37.25)QBR.B is a disruptive source in the telecommunications space in Canada. It's recent acquisition of Freedom Mobile for $2.8 billion positions it well for expanding 5G in eastern Canada. Recently reported earnings showed a 19% increase in earnings. Cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired. It trades at 10x earnings and supports a 39% ROE. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow. We recommend a setting a stop-loss at $25, looking to achieve $37 -- upside potential of 25%. Yield 4.2%
(Analysts’ price target is $37.33)Are the dominant cable player in Quebec and benefitted a lot from Rogers buying Shaw then having to sell Freedom Mobile at great terms to Quebecor. Also, they bought spectrum cheaply so they can expand into Ontario and western Canada and much lower capex. Generating strong cash flow. Debt will probably get upgraded by year's end. 40% EBITDA margins, the best of the group. Trades at 6.5x EBITA vs. 810x its peers. Telcos remain an oligopoly. Has the most upside in this sector.
(Analysts’ price target is $40.31)
