RE:Dividend payout ratioThey just raised the dividend. Hard to think they plan on cutting it?
There are a lot of ways to figure FCF. Again,
Bell won't do a DRIP discount like its Big 3 peers that would quickly bring its payout sub-100% per its FCF definition. It noted few years back it would operate at a payout above 100% from 2021 to 2025.
If the share price goes under $50 they will be paying more than 8%! ($49.875 would pay 8%)
Hard to believe that Bell Canada would being paying 8% on common shares and there wouldn't be a stampede to buy them? Once in a lifetime.
