RE:RE:RE:RE:Can drop to 45.70 Interest rates drops do stimulate dividend stocks but the counter pressure for bce is that regulators are making them share the infrastructure that bce spent billions in borrowed money to build pushing thier payout ratio to unsustainable levels and with the economy sputtering increasing unemployment they cannot keep debt at this level and keep paying a 8% dividend. Something has got to snap and it's showing for both bce and Roger's. Look at.tge value increase of cogeco who is a benefactor of the new sharing regulators and it tells you where investors are placing thier bets.
a dividend freeze may be welcome,but cut would knock the stock for a loop but doing nothing is disastrous. rock and a hard place.
