RE: RE: Dividend hike likely at BCE: NBF analyst ("Management and the board remain committed to dividend growth,which we think means a possible dividend increase in mid-late 2010,"wrote National Bank Financial's Greg MacDonald in a research note. "Ifthe company can execute at the high end of guidance, then the chance ofan increase... is good."
Thats certainly not whatGeorge Cope stated on BNN yesterday. He iterated that the last increasehas just taken effect and said nothing about guarantying another one. -techperson
==================
And the relevance of this? Analyst MacDonald is making a lofty forecast. Cope is not making promises. I see no contradiction. Or did Cope explicitly state that dividends would NOT be increased during the remainder of 2010?
