Seems Quite Easy To Understand - NO DIVIDEND CUT 💰 BCE's common share dividend
BCE intends to maintain its annual common share dividend at the current level of $3.99 per share during the financial year ending December 31, 2025. In the context of the strategic Acquisition of Ziply Fiber, BCE's focus is on long-term value creation for shareholders and BCE intends to pause dividend growth until BCE's dividend payout and net debt leverage ratios are tracking towards our target policy ranges, subject to review annually by the BCE Board of Directors.
