The telecommunications sector is composed of companies that provide communication through wired and wireless infrastructure. Some companies are considered both income and growth stocks, due to their strong performance, regulatory protection and good dividends.

The latest generation of cellular mobile communications, 5G, is rolling out, and these companies are preparing to offer high data rate, reduced latency, cost savings and energy saving. Innovations like this contribute to the growth and success of the industry.

Furthermore, telecommunications is considered a defensive stock, as the demand remains steady in times of economic stress and subscription plans give a stable source of revenue.

Likes it. Stock has moved sideways. Live sports coming back should increase ad revenues again. Long-term, wireless market will continue to be strong. Likes it for the dividend and transition to 5G. Yield is 6% and should grow by 4-5%.

Telus Corp (T-T)

Best quality in the telecom space. Good, stable cashflow to support the great dividend. TV ads might have been hurt by Covid, but infrastructure remains important with the 5G rollout. Well run, will continue to do well. A close competitor is Telus, but why switch?

Capital preservation and safety first. Wireless build is going well, gaining subscribers. Patriarch passed away last year, paving the way for a new direction. Collect the yield while you wait for something good to happen. Yield is 5.21%. (Analysts’ price target is $27.33)

Rogers Communications (B) (RCI.B-T)
A telecom leader that also owns media. They pay a good dividends that is expected to be increased. I has organic growth and some say the media assets are undervalued. They have the largest wireless network in Canada and is considered a defensive growth name.

It's fine, but not his top pick in the telco space. Low beta. Less of a yield than others. A defensive, work from home play. Some of the bloom may come off the work from home trade, and money may flow to more cyclical parts of the market.

Quebecor Inc (B) (QBR.B-T)
A Quebec based communications company that has seen earning growth of over 20%. The growth has been exponential and the company is managed well. Their main area served is limited to Quebec, and are investing in their network.

Pre-COVIC, he saw that tech was going to pop, and now the puck is heading to boring value names, like Quebecor. Has an 11% growth rate and trades at 12.6x 2021. Its a very cheap telco and have a lot of cash to return to shareholders and raise the dividend if they wish. Their wireless…

Telefonica S.A. (TEF-N)
An international telecommunications company based in Spain. Revenues rose in 2018, and they are expecting a 2% organic in revenue. They sold their mobile communications assets in some central American countries back in February.

It's a telecom, which is the worst industry to ever invest in. Telecoms are being swept into the new communication industry which will also include media, cable and internet search. The telecom industry will cease to exist. He's not intersted in telecoms at all. It's crazy. He once paid for long-distance calls; now, they're giving…

AT&T (T-N)

Vodafone Group PLC (VOD-Q)
The United Kingdom’s largest telecom company that offers voice, broadband and data services. Most of their business is in Europe. Due to them being a UK-based company, Brexit talks have negatively affected this stock. They are facing big capital expenditures with 5G but their dividends are considered safe.

The yield is very elevated. It is relative to the bifurcated market. Anything with an attractive dividend, the market does not want it. Longer term, the lion's share of profits for investors comes from dividends. If you can lock in attractive dividends, relative to bond returns, you will make money. If they do not get…

Verizon Communications (VZ-N)
They are the largest telecommunications company in the U.S. and operates internationally. They pay an attractive dividends of 4.2% and their balance sheet looks good. 5G infrastructure will make it a good long term story.

T-Mobile US (TMUS-Q)

AT&T is a sell. Verizon is good for income, but T-Mobile offers growth in this space.

Sprint Nextel (S-N)

Sprint Nextel (S-N) — Stockchase

Just announced a merger with T-Mobile (TMUS-Q). Telecom has been an industry under pressure for a long time, and we are starting to see smaller players consolidate to cut costs. These are investments you want to hold, only to milk the cash flows remaining in them. The saturation level of smart phones is pretty high.…

China Mobile Hong Kong (CHL-N)
A Chinese state-owned telecommunication company. They have grown their dividends reliably. There is still growth opportunity in China but it’s still a mature business. They have a good balance sheet and is a good long-term investment.

A name that they have looked at over time. It is a stock that has not done much for a long time. China is a big market, and it should benefit from 5g rollout but it has not been reflected in the stock price. There are safer investments elsewhere, such as Verizon.
