Experts who have talked about Telus Corp

Comment56.130Bill CarriganUS Telcos are getting tired and this will sp[read to the whole sector. If you own, consider reducing your holdings unless you are in it for the yield. Feels the capital return is over.2012-01-27
WATCH56.260Michele RobitailleShe is a little bit cautious on the telco space which had a nice run, especially into year-end. They have been driven more by the defensive trader had a need for income and stability. Expect the market will be looking at these a little closer and realize there are headwinds including new entrants into the harness space. This is one of the better names in this space. Dividend yield of almost 4.5%.2012-01-25
BUY on WEAKNESS55.670Peter BriegerDifference between the regular shares and the A shares? Stick with the voting shares. Once you get into the A shares you run into potential problems. The communication companies are producers of net free cash flow. Charts of this company and BCE (BCE-T) are more positive than Rogers (RCI.B-T) or Shaw Communications (SJR.B-T). Stocks are cheap relative to their growth rates. Interested in this if it pulled back 5%.2011-12-16
BUY54.180Norman LevineLikes the telecom area because there is some growth and dividends are attractive and they grow. He owns 3 others. Can’t com up with a reason not to buy T-T2011-11-29
BUY53.910David BaskinExcellent earnings this quarter. Good wireless growth. Raised the dividend and promised to keep raising it up to and including 2013. Wouldn't expect much capital appreciation as it is pretty well fully priced. If you want a nice tax effective yield will continue to grow, this is a pretty good choice.2011-11-10
TOP PICK53.630Michael SmedleyExcellent dividends which are rising by 10% a year. Expect they will merge their 2 classes of stock which will give them more liquidity.2011-10-31
DON'T BUY53.400John ZechnerWill be a little impeded in the next couple of years in terms of growth. He’d rather own this than a utility, or bank or pipeline.2011-10-28
PAST TOP PICK53.790Steve Carlin(Top Pick Nov 10/10, Up 25.70%) Executed better than expected on TV offering.2011-10-26
BUY51.730Veronika HirschShaw’s Wifi strategy should be good for Telus, but it hasn’t moved. It did well because of the high yield. She likes it. Fundamentals are decent.2011-09-23
Comment52.640Peter BriegerFor income players, he would go to BCE (BCE-T) and this one. For growth he would go to Rogers (RCI.B-T). Because of the increasing competition, he is out of this sector for the present time.2011-08-18
BUY53.610Barry SchwartzHad a great quarter. The story for telcos is smart phones growth. Smart phone adoption in Canada is only about 35%-40%. Could see this getting close to 70%-80% over the next 2 years. (See Top Picks.)2011-08-11
BUY51.580Paul Gardner, CFAOne of the “best in class”. Competition telcos feared has impacted them a little bit but they benefiting from the changeover to data, which is now the growth engine. Telcos will be in better shape than cable because they are coming out with the fiber TV.2011-08-10
HOLD52.200Lyle SteinPrefers cable companies. 2011-08-03
Comment54.130Don LatoHas a pretty good yield, but not the highest yield nor the highest upside of the telcos. Had a good run over the last year and has probably performed the best but he prefers Rogers (RCI.B-T) growth prospects better.2011-07-07
PAST TOP PICK54.300Barry Schwartz(A Top Pick June 14/10. Up 45.5%.) Would wait for a pullback before buying any of the telcos.2011-07-06
BUY52.710Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSIWill the upward trend continue? This is the right space to be in at this time. There is a strong upward trend that should continue. (See Top Picks.)2011-06-02
TOP PICK52.610David BurrowsThey expect to raise their dividend, perhaps twice a year over the next 3 years. A 10% dividend growth rate. Very strong wireless exposure and have done a good job with it. Have potential to grow their business in the OptiTV, IP based television services.2011-05-18
BUY52.050Stan WongGreat franchise. Technically speaking, fantastic hart with higher highs and higher lows. As a telecom with a high dividend, dividend might not be as strong as interest rates eventually move up. Looks okay.2011-05-12
BUY49.060David CockfieldIn a good market area on the west coast and in Alberta with a good yield.2011-04-15
HOLD49.830David BurrowsMany of the telecoms have gone through restructuring and are very profitable and generating lots of cash. The wireless business is very competitive. Seem to be able to stay profitable I Canada. This one is behaving very well. They are talking about their new wireless network that they are going to move towards.2011-04-07
BUY49.820Bruce CampbellThey are resurrecting Clearnet. Telus has done very well. Came from undervalued to reasonably valued. Now Rogers is the cheapest and the best cash flow.2011-04-05
PAST TOP PICK48.790David Baskin(Top Pick Mar 16/10, Up 43.20%) You have to be bullish if you look at the metrics of the acquisition of T mobile by AT&T. Does not think Canadian industry is not suffering from foreign competition. 2011-03-22
BUY48.270Douglas KeeStock is in a holding pattern. Same as others and it’s because of competition. He believes longer term all these guys are going to be winners. Have increased dividend nicely but could be moderated in the future.2011-03-21
PAST TOP PICK48.130Michael Simpson, CFA(A Top Pick Feb 23/10. Up 47.77%.) Have the ability to keep increasing dividends.2011-03-04
HOLD47.620David BurrowsThis is a stock where you are getting a little bit of appreciation as well as some yield. Telecom stocks are behaving all right. Wireless business is good but there is growing competition. (Prefers companies that are supplying infrastructure for telecoms.)2011-03-01
HOLD49.140Norman LevineLikes the outlook for the telecom stocks, growth of wireless especially. Starting to move aggressively into the TV market giving them further growth opportunities.2011-01-26
BUY46.560Douglas KeeIn his higher yield portfolio. Likes the business. Prefers BCE2010-12-21
BUY47.150Barry SchwartzIt has recovered from 2007. Keep raising the dividend. They are really gaining a lot of momentum here. RCI.B is more attractive to him.2010-12-07
PAST TOP PICK47.710Michael Simpson, CFA(A Top Pick Dec 3/09. Up 43%.) New TV product, IPTV is doing well in western Canada. Can bundle it with their other wire line and wireless products. Main competitor Shaw (SHR.B-T) is just starting to build out a wireless network. 2 dividend increases this year.2010-12-02
DON'T BUY47.010Michael SprungRogers (RCI.B-T), BCE (BCE-T) or Telus (T-T)? Telecoms look a little expensive. On a pull back he would be tempted to buy BCE, which has momentum and is gaining on wireless. Average revenue per unit is going up. Moving into internet protocol television (IPTV) is going to make them very competitive with cable companies.2010-12-01
DON'T BUY46.970Christine PooleBCE (BCE-T) or Telus (T-T)? Has no exposure to telecoms right now. Too much competition. Dividends on these 2 are safe but don’t see a lot of earnings growth.2010-11-29
DON'T BUY47.050Chyanne FickesDoesn’t like any of the telecoms because of the competition coming down the pipe with the newer mobiles but if she were choosing one, it would be this as it is in the part of the country that is seeing better growth.2010-11-22
Comment46.660Stan WongTelecoms. BCE (BCE-T), Telus (T-T) or Rogers (RCI.B-T)? BCE is more of a dividend play with 5.4%. Growth is close to 6% long term. Rogers is more of a growth story. He would rate Telus as third.2010-11-18
TOP PICK46.400Bill MacLachlan(Preferred A) Likes the free cash flow and dividends (currently over 4%).ROE of about 13%. Good growth potential despite all the competition. Has a new product called OpticTV, which has proven to be quite successful and will help them to compete.2010-11-17
TOP PICK45.470Steve Carlin3rd quarter was in line. Have gone through the big CapX of their HSP overlay. Good free cash flow and attractive yield of about 4.6%.2010-11-10
Comment45.470David BaskinSees the 3 major telcos, BCE (BCE-T), Rogers (RCI.B-T) and Telus (T-T) as being on a continuum from conservative and slower growth with BCE through to aggressive and higher growth on Rogers end. Has all 3.2010-11-09
BUY45.470Norman LevineLikes the outlook for telecom. This is a growing business and a growing yield business. Still further room to go up.2010-11-09
PAST TOP PICK45.280Nick Majendie(A Top Pick Aug 27/09. Up 47.39%.) Still a Hold.2010-10-26
Comment47.120Douglas KeeBiggest growth potential between BCE (BCE-T) and Telus (T-T) for a long-term investor? Tends to favour BCE because of us competition and more room to cut costs. Expect they will both grow dividends 5%-10% a year but thinks Rogers (RCI.B-T) and Shaw (SJR.B-T) program with her dividends and buybacks shares faster. (See Top Picks.)2010-10-25
Comment46.110Bruce CampbellPrefer Rogers (RCI.B-T) for its better growth.2010-10-06
BUY46.530Barry SchwartzHeck of a chart. Keeps raising the dividend 5% a year. Not his preferred in this space. Earnings will not be that great this quarter.2010-10-05
Comment42.990Douglas KeeExpects the dividend to continue to increase at about 5%-6% a year.2010-09-09
BUY44.750Norman LevineLikes the telco area in Canada and likes them for the income. Likes the stability and defensive characterizes. 2010-09-07
HOLD43.860Bruce CampbellGood solid hold and won't go down much in the correction. His favourite is Rogers (RCI.B-T), which has better growth and almost the same dividend.2010-09-02
Comment44.250Karl BergerGood wireless exposure and growth prospects but concerned it is getting a little too high but that is 15%-20% away. 4.5% yield.2010-08-27
BUY42.490Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSILikes the telephone/quasi-utility space. Chart shows a pretty good trend line. Next resistance point would be about $48. 4.8% yield.2010-08-18
PAST TOP PICK41.620Joey Mack(A Top Pick June 24/09. Up 9.33%.) 4.95% bond due May 15/14. Still likes.2010-08-12
Comment42.040Christine PooleThe whole telecom space is getting more competitive with wireless. Wire line business is declining so they need growth in wireless to offset that. Have done a great job in cost cutting. Solid long-term hold if you're looking for income.2010-07-26
PAST TOP PICK40.880Gavin Graham(A Top Pick June 4/09. Up 33.7%.) Still likes.2010-07-09
BUY40.200Martin Hubbes, CFACheap. Still have quite a bit of leverage on. Expects some very good growth on their wireless business but questions declines they will have on their wire lines but expect wireless to out do this. At the current valuation with a current yield, this stock makes a lot of sense.2010-07-05
PAST TOP PICK41.090Joey Mack(A Top Pick June 24/09. Up 7.44%.) 4.95% bond due May 15/14.2010-06-25
Comment40.880Paul Harris, CFAGood company but feels there's more growth in BCE (BCE-T).2010-06-24
BUY40.640Don LatoGood solid holding. Owns but feels Rogers (RCI.B-T) has more growth and dividend growth opportunities.2010-06-23
DON'T BUY39.280Randy LeClair4.95% Bond maturing May 15/14. BBB+ rated, just above investment-grade. Likes that it is within the 5-year yield curve however, credit spread has started to shrink to about 3.87%. You are paying almost $104 for a $100 bond. Probably better choices with better credit ratings and higher yields.2010-06-16
TOP PICK38.790Barry SchwartzGood 1st quarter. Cutting costs dramatically with a surprise dividend increase. Looking for 10% earnings growth over the next few years as well as dividend increases. 5.1% dividend. Looks very cheap.2010-06-14
BUY37.980Christine PooleStock is done very well and provides a very attractive, safe yield of over 5%. If you want income, this is a good investment. Getting wireless subscriber growth. Very good at cutting costs and have been using this to increase dividends.2010-05-26
WAIT40.300Rick StuchberryThis is a dividend play and is the reason for the stock moving up. Increased their dividend. If you don't own, there will be opportunities to buy down the road.2010-05-14
BUY39.480David BaskinThere will be inflation, which will affect dividends. Could start by 2012. Likes telcos because they have pricing power i.e. the demand for their product is such that they can raise prices without losing customers. Good dividends.2010-05-10
PAST TOP PICK37.530Nick Majendie(A Top Pick Apr 16/09. Up 28.74%.)2010-05-04
PAST TOP PICK37.940Charles Lannon(A Top Pick Apr 23/09. Up 24.9% excluding dividends.) Core market is in Alberta and BC so it doesn't have to compete with Rogers (RCI.B-T).2010-04-29
PAST TOP PICK38.040David Baskin(A Top Pick Apr 14/09. Up 33.81%.) Still a Buy.2010-04-08
Comment38.740David DriscollDividend yield of nearly 5% is looking at little rich right now. Stock has been overbought.2010-04-07
Comment38.570Norman LevineTelcos did poorly when the market was soaring but when it started to level off telcos started to come back. This one has been a poor performer versus BCE (BCE-T). Also has stronger competition out West. Might be worth looking at but in the short term BCE is still the better one.2010-04-06
TOP PICK35.700David BaskinIt is a yield story for him, no longer growth. Dividend is sustainable. Well entrenched to fend off competitors.2010-03-16
PAST TOP PICK35.700David Baskin(Top Pick Mar 12/09, Up 13%+dividend) People were concerned when new entrants came into market. He thought it was over done at the time.2010-03-16
HOLD35.730Norman LevineHe thinks BCE and Verizon are a lot better. People are looking for what is undervalued and nice yield and this one fits that.2010-03-09
PAST TOP PICK34.400David Baskin(Top Pick Mar 12/09, Up 12.07%) Due for a good year because we haven’t seen much market penetration from the new entrants.2010-02-25
TOP PICK33.940Michael Simpson, CFA5.5% dividend yield. Average revenue is declining. Growing their data and TV business. Likes it because it is beat up and should grow in 2011. 1% capital appreciation expected this year.2010-02-23
PAST TOP PICK32.530David Baskin(A Top Pick Feb 9/09. Down 5% excluding dividends.) Likes the telcos and this one has a nice high yield.2010-02-08
PAST TOP PICK33.900David Baskin(A Top Pick Feb 9/09. Up 4.72%.) The panic over the new entrants in the wireless market is a little overdone.2010-01-14
BUY33.900Jeff BlackExcellent dividend. Telcos are not a heavy weighting in his portfolios. It will be some time before they lose significant market share against the new players but there will be some challenge to growth and margins. Good defensive play. BCE (BCE-T) would be his 1st choice.2010-01-14
WAIT33.230John ZechnerStarting to look interesting again. With the headwinds of Globalive now getting approval and a few new players in wireless, expect margins will be under pressure for a couple of quarters. Earnings growth is okay.2009-12-23
BUY32.050Ara NalbandianMildly positive guidance given recently. It is priced into the stock price. It is attractive at these prices and is his favorite telecom.2009-12-15
PAST TOP PICK32.100Sandy McIntyre(A Top Pick Jan 22/09. Up 18.27%.) 4.95% bond maturing March 15/17.2009-12-14
BUY32.100Peter BriegerDividend is secure, likes company. Hold on to it, there will be capital appreciation.2009-12-14
PAST TOP PICK34.080Nick Majendie(A Top Pick Apr 16/09. Up 19.32%.) Still a Buy.2009-12-09
TOP PICK35.010Michael Simpson, CFATelecom and recently was granted the right to sell Apple iPods that will create further revenues. Also invested in a new network for wireless and sharing the cost with Bell (BCE-T). Just issued new bonds at very attractive rates, which takes away from higher-priced bonds they issued years ago. Trading under 4X cash flow. Looking for a dividend increases in 2011.2009-12-03
BUY34.380Laura WallaceReasonably well positioned in a very competitive environment. Does more capital investments than Bell (BCE-T) or Rogers (RCI.B-T). She prefers the latter but this company is fine. Dividends should be safe with a possibility of increases in the future.2009-11-26
Comment34.380Christine PooleUpgraded their network so quality should be the same as Rogers (RCI.B-T) but sees more growth coming out of Rogers. Also prefers Bell (BCE-T) to this one.2009-11-26
Comment34.560David BaskinIncome play, not growth. Spectrum auction created fear that foreign players with deep pockets would enter the Canadian market giving a lot of competition. They are finding it difficult to increase their wireless base and amount spent by their customers.2009-11-19
HOLD33.450Craig MacAdam5.7% dividend is safe. Rogers (RCI.B-T) has the most exposure to wireless and cable and Bell (BCE-T) has the least exposure so this company falls in between. If you're willing to take risks, Rogers would be your choice but for a more defensive play, Bell would be it.2009-11-02
BUY33.050David BaskinThere has been a real under evaluation of the telephone sector in Canada. From the start of the year, they have not done anything while the rest of the market has gone up 25%. Good, deep value Buy.2009-10-27
DON'T BUY32.850Ross HealyThis stock has quite a decent dividend at 5.75% but the new wireless competition threatens to damage the earnings outlook. Concerned about all of the wireless stocks. (See Top Picks.)2009-10-26
DON'T BUY32.520Christine PooleNot a lot of growth in this company. 5.8% yield is quite attractive. If you want a telco, even BCE (BCE-T) would be more attractive with a stronger balance sheet and a yield of over 6.4%.2009-10-15
DON'T BUY33.510Norman LevineLess attractive then BCE and a higher yield. The iPhone is less profitable than a regular due to subsidies and data volumes.2009-10-13
DON'T BUY33.510Norman LevineLess attractive then BCE and a higher yield. The iPhone is less profitable than a regular due to subsidies and data volumes.2009-10-13
TOP PICK34.110Nick Majendie(A Top Pick April 16/09. Down 19.51%.) Yield of close to 6%. Long-term growth rate is going to be in the mid-single digit area. This, along with the 6% dividend, you should get 11%-13% average annual return.2009-08-27
BUY34.050Michael SmedleyFeels the dividend is safe. You get more from this than you would from a bank account.2009-08-26
BUY33.190Mike S. Newton, CIM FCSI(Market Call Minute.) Yielding 5.8%. It is a discount to Rogers (RCI.B-T) and Bell (BCE-T). Expect it to pick up from here.2009-08-11
Comment32.760Bruce CampbellAs a dividend play it is fine. Prefers Rogers (RCI.B-T) or BCE (BCE-T). 5.8% yield.2009-08-10
Comment31.550Peter BriegerRogers (RCI.B-T) or Telus (T-T) long term (5 years)? Prefers Rogers, which has more potential growth and which he owns. 6% yield.2009-08-05
Comment30.630Greg A. Taylor, CFA, BBAHave to do more CapX to upgrade their systems from CDMA to GSM, which will put a strain on the balance sheet. 6.2% yield should be sustainable.2009-07-22
Comment30.750Mark CarpaniMidterm bonds yielding about 7%? Doesn't own any Telcos. Feels they are very highly regulated so there's not a lot of upside. However, this one short-term at 7% is okay but feels are better places to be.2009-07-21
Comment30.560Veronika Hirsch(Market Call Minute.) Good yield at 6.2%. Not much excitement over the next year. If you want yield, Buy. If you want capital gains don't bother.2009-07-17
Comment30.190Karl BergerRogers (RCI.B-T) or Telus (T-T)? Telus probably has more downside protection but a higher dividend yield of about 6.5%. Rogers has about 4.5% dividend and maybe represents a better long-term hold because of better growth prospects.2009-07-14
BUY29.980Randy LeClairBond yielding 2.6% picture in 2012, 3.85% but during 2013 and 5.1% maturing 2017. The whole telecommunications sector is interesting. This company has been one of the big issuers. BBB credit rating, which is just above investment grade.2009-07-10
DON'T BUY30.270Paul Gardner, CFAHas been negatively impacted over the last year. Much more leverage to wireless but has Issues with GSM technology. Guidance came out much lower in the last quarter. Revenue per phone is lower. Will need a lot of capital expenditure into upgrading. Rogers (RCI.B-T) is the best in class. (See Top Picks.)2009-07-08
BUY31.400Ara NalbandianTelus (T-T) versus BCE (BCE-T)? Likes the telecommunications sector and thinks there is good value. His favourite is BCE because of their operational improvements but also likes Telus. Both trading at attractive valuations. Overhang of the wireless competition coming on is overstated.2009-07-03
Comment31.400Prakash HariharanPaying a dividend that is in excess of next year’s potential free cash flow generation. Losing some market share to Shaw (SJR.B-T). In a competitive space and is showing signs of weakening in the wireless space. Would prefer their bonds.2009-07-03
DON'T BUY30.850Lyle SteinTraditional telephone providers are not going to be the winners. It will be wireless for personal communication and wires for TV sets. Cable companies have won that battle. Thinks dividends are safe for the next couple of years but questions if they grow. Would rather own the debt (which he does) rather than the stock.2009-06-30
