TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

5G adoption is strong along with solid demand for their fixed broadband service.  The company reports the highest broadband performance in over a decade.  Free cash flow more than doubled on the year to over $2.3 billion which allowed for a sizable reduction in debt.  Guidance calls for 2.5%-4.5% increases in revenue this year.  It pays a great dividend that has increased for 18 consecutive years, backed by a payout ratio under 55% of cash flow.  We recommend placing a stop loss at $33, looking to achieve $44.50 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 7.0% 

(Analysts’ price target is $44.43)

WEAK BUY

Fine here, good dividend yield, relatively low valuation. But you don't have a lot of growth. He prefers Canadian telecom at this point, like BCE, Rogers, and Telus. US firms overspent on content, levered up massively. In the US, he'd prefer AT&T for the turnaround.

DON'T BUY

T-Mobile is crushing this, but don't sell it at this level. It pays a good yield that's safe, but they won't grow--that's a shame.

DON'T BUY

The telcos in the U.S. have done poorly. Buy a Canadian telco instead.

DON'T BUY

Consolidating business with large amounts of debt.
Highly cautious on investing in company with rising interest rates.
Company vulnerable to tech disruptions. 
Would not recommend buying.
Very competitive business.

DON'T BUY

Bit of a trap. Good valuation, 8x earnings. High dividend, close to 7%, which is alluring. Growth has stalled. Highly competitive space. Over time, dividend's safety has edged lower.

DON'T BUY

It pays a 7% dividend but has incredible competition in the U.S. With only 1 to 2% revenue growth, look elsewhere. The sector is better in Canada.

BUY

Strong brand with legacy assets. 
Stable product demand (phone demand not going anywhere).
Will be good investment for long term investment. 
Over 90mm customers.
Dividend ~7% is very strong. 
Strong business fundamentals.

TOP PICK

Cheapest it's been for 35 years. Balance sheet has seen beautiful, steady growth. Intrinsic value has slipped somewhat. Lots of upside potential to FMV. A meeting of supreme value, extreme cheapness, and excellent yield. He's not looking for exciting, he's looking for his 7% return. Terrific dividend of 6.92%.

COMMENT
Likes it for the dividend, but wants to see a cash flow analysis from their CEO.
telephone utilities
DON'T BUY
Among the worst Dow performers in Q3 Pays a 7% yield but T-Mobile is killing this. Business is on a slow decline. There are better plays.
telephone utilities
BUY
Call it a bond proxy or utility. They have modest earnings growth ahead and have paid a dividend for 38 straight years and raised it during the pandemic. Pays 7% and trades at 7x earnings.
