DividendI realize that it is the Board of Director's that declares the dividend but they don't act in isolation but rather on input from Management. Management has just published a 3rd Q presentation which has a slide that states the following:
"Maintaining the annual BCE common dividend at the current level of $3.99 per share for 2025"
(Slide 10)
If I were Management and if I were on the Board I would have thought long and hard about publishing that statement if I thought I was actually going to cut the dividend for 2025. Things change, and s**t happens and Managements and Boards do stupid things but my bet is the dividend stays as is unless there is a rapid decline in their business during 2025.
