Fundamentals are Solid for BCE...Look at Financials

Not only does BCE have the lowest P/E ratio of the Big 3 Canadian Telecoms is has sold fundamentals.

Tha Armchair Critics can rant all they want about the dividend being cut, but if you read the S&P Report which just  came out March 11, you'll see the Dividend is safe.

If you want first hand truth. Look at the financial statements and understand how much FCF that is being generated vs dividend payout. Most recent year the Cashflow is 7.5 billion vs 3.6B paid out for distributions. The CAP EX is another big part of this expense items that distorts “payout ratio”, as BCE builds out their next gen infrastructure. This is generally financed with debt and is amortized and treated as a depreciating asset. Payout ratio is calculated with earnings, which uses massive non cash items like depreciation expense. Just like Enbridge, their is sufficient cash flow in place to pay and increase dividends. The market is evaluating and waiting for interest rates to start declining again…

Second part. There has long been small scale competition piggy backing on their networks. With the CRTC, they set the rates accordingly but I can assure you the big three have a strangle hold on the quality of the network and own the lions share of the market. .

I’m betting strong that BCE IS back at 55-56 CAD by the end of spring... June latest

Would like to believe your "target" price of $55/56 by end of Spring...however todays stomach churning action as well as the Feds higher for longer stance on rates makes one wonder where we're headed. Have never seen this happen to Ma Bell like...never! GLTA

I had my finger on the trigger to open a position at $46 today. However, I realized that the premium valuation that Bell has enjoyed is no longer valid. When confidence is sapped, premium valuations (relative to other opportunities in the market) can easily get into a downward spiral.   I am now waiting an opportunity where the yield is 9.5 per cent or even double digits. That really is not ...more

You would be surprised how the recovery can be so quick.  Right now, BCE is the most undervalued of Canada's 3 Major Telcos.
