""Today, we are announcing a seven per cent dividend increase, reflecting our unwavering commitment to delivering superior value to our shareholders. Furthermore, it builds on our consistent track record of delivering on our multi-year dividend growth program established in 2011, and most recently extended through 2025, targeting annual growth in the range of seven to 10 per cent. Today's increase represents our 26th over the last 14 years and reflects our unwavering confidence in delivering leading operational and financial results on a sustained basis. Importantly, our strong outlook includes our expectations for continued free cash flow expansion in the years ahead, driven by ongoing strong EBITDA growth and moderating capital expenditure intensity, further supporting the long-term sustainability and quality of our dividend growth program.""

CEO  only takes just over 7% in a wage now , so it is hard to say if this means anything except stock dilution , nothing says he just can not sell those shares after recieved plus he will get paid the over 6.5% dividend on top of the shares if he holds them  .Doesn't mean much except self promotion and puts more money in his pocket .

[Red_Deer]

Hey SAM__You just Posted ""Doesn't mean much except self promotion and puts more money in his pocket "" OK SAM__Tell ALL of US How Many CEOs of TOP TIER Companies you Know that Take ALL Their Salary in SHARES eh !!!! Oh and the ONLY WAY this PUTS MORE MONEY in his Pocket IS the Share Price HAS TO STAY FIRM and GO UP eh !!!! Bottom Line IS that Entwistle HAS a TON of SKIN

[SamV21]

Most Ceos take their compensation in shares ,do some research , he can buy and sell those shares like anyone else, no where does it say he will or has to hold any of them ? , he can sell at the top and buy back in or NOT,  and its only around a 7% change from what is happening now  .How many shares does he hold now ? Tell us Red Deer .

[SamV21]

In 2023, Entwistle received $21.06 million, a substantial increase from previous years. This figure included a $1.6 million salary and a $1.32 million cash bonus, with the largest portion being $16.81 million in stock awards which is equal to 18 million after the dividend ............So now he will be getting 1.6 million more  in shares a year than he did before plus the dividend on those

[corvette67]

In any event, dramatically overpaid. Stock is close to the year low.Even before the earnings, Zach's had this as a sell. Should have paid attention. My bad! GLTA

Hey SAM__Here YOU go AGAIN Posting ""Most Ceos take their compensation in shares ,do some research"" I Had ASKED You ""OK SAM__Tell ALL of US How Many CEOs of TOP TIER Companies you Know that Take ALL Their Salary in SHARES eh !!!! So SAM__Looks like YOU have DUCKED Answering MY Question eh!  As WE ALL Know that CEOs TAKE a LOT of Their COMPENSATION in Shares

[SamV21]

 Doyle, whose company owns Tim Hortons, Burger King and Popeyes, made $151.8 million in 2022, the report said. His pay came exclusively in the form of share-based and option-based awards. Are you going to answer my questions ? where does it say he has to hold those shares , you don't think he can buy low and sell high and make more  $$ and you really think 1.6 million is a big deal ?

[Red_Deer]

Hey SAM__Just CALM DOWN eh !!! I NEVER Had ANY ISSUE with Your Comment ""where does it say he has to hold those shares"" I AGREE 100%%% OBVIOUSLY Entwistle WILL Have to SELL Some Shares EVERY YEAR Just to PAY his BILLS !! Oh and SAM__Share BASED and Option BASED are NOT Quite the SAME as PURE Treasury Shares like Entwistle TAKES__So BACK to Your SEARCH for a CEO Taking PURE

[SamV21]

Yes that stock is down 64% year over year , but yes according to your math it is better to loose 64% on an investment in one year , hold it and collect a 7% dividend and break even in 9 years , should have bought Loblaws instead,  it tripled in the last year . lol 

[Red_Deer]

Hey SAM__You ARE Getting REDICULOUS Now !!! Telus is NOT DOWN 64 % year over year eh !!!! And Your EXAMPLE Doyle_Who owns Tim Hortons, Burger King and Popeyes is NOT a CEO__So YOU Have NOT YET BEEN ABLE to Find ANY CEO taking ALL their PAY in SHARES eh !!!! And For YOUR Info__I have Been with TELUS as MY KEY HOLDING Ever Since the IPO and Privatization of Alberta Government Telephones in

Those who are selling Telus at this price have to be either shorters or stupid, one in the same. I have owned Telus almost as long as you have. The dividend has risen every year since I have been in the stock. The dividend is paying almonds $1.60 a year. Since I bought all my shares pre split, multiply that by 4 which would be $6.40 a share and that is more than I paid for the original shares. The
