BCE Inc > Ziply's U$400M EBITDA

Ziply's U$400M EBITDA

The U$400M revenue (minus interest for U$2B) is about C$400M. Assuming 50% attributable to dividend, it is about C$0.20 per shares or 5%. On the surface, it is not a bad deal. So I believe the dividend raise could come back in two years. Of course, if Ziply belly up, that is another story.

Some point out that fix wireless is cheapter than fiber to install which is true. On the flip side of the coin is that its speed is lower. Fiber can be 100 times faster. This goes back to the clientele. If business clients choose Ziply, the business can boom. If you want to grow the business, growing the small business end may not be the most profitable.

They hid it from everyone. There's no way they didn't know ...more
