Quebecor Inc's stock (QBR.B) has garnered attention from various experts, significantly benefiting from its recent acquisition of Freedom Mobile, which positions it well for expansion in the 5G sector in eastern Canada. The company exhibits strong financial health with high return on equity and growing free cash flow, allowing it to lower debt and maintain a solid investment-grade rating on its bonds. Analysts highlight its strategic capital allocation, particularly noting aggressive share buybacks and a reasonably low payout ratio for its dividend. While there are challenges inherent in the telecommunications industry, experts have expressed optimism about QBR.B's growth potential, marking it as one of the top picks in its sector. Overall, the consensus suggests that despite a competitive landscape, QBR.B retains strong performance prospects.
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)Sector's out of favour, but good business, oligopoly, very profitable. Much prefers Telus and QBR.B to BCE. Telus has lots of free cashflow coming, will be able to raise dividend significantly over next few years. QBR.B is the fastest-growing telco.
Telus and QBR.B are the 2 best stocks to own in the space. Telus will gush free cashflow, as it's beyond big capex cycle, low payout ratio. QBR.B is in a high-growth phase with Freedom Mobile acquisition, very careful capital allocators.
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)Telcos in Canada are in a unique spot. Quebecor has really upped the competitive pressure, positive for the consumer but negative for BCE and Telus. Stay away from those two, and see how things shake out. Prefers RCI.B, with its ability to shave costs from Shaw, or QBR.B.
Good value, whole sector's been in a funk. Got a good price for Freedom Mobile. Good operators. Better growth potential, as they can now operate outside of Quebec. Wants to see capex plans for Western expansion before adding to his position.
Waiting to buy Freedom Mobile, a good transaction that adds diversification. A value play. Deeply discounted compared to other telco names. Continues to buy here.
