Dividend payout ratio

[ecolo101]

At 172% this put the dividend at risk down the road. If SP still goes down therefore % will go higher and this will force CFO to consider to cutback on dividend.
Definitely out of the flavour on the financial market place right now, it will take time to see $55+
patience will be required

They 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

I have full confidence in BCE board with such intelligent business people as Gord Nixon, Louis Vashon, Monique Leroux, Jennifer Tory, David Dennison, Richard Bird and others.

I have been accumulating at this price. It will be a longer term hold from me. My average price is 50.40.
