HOLD
Trading at the top end of the PE range of telcos. 5G is going to be a big advantage. This is important, as they've spent lots of money on it, but it will benefit topline growth. Core businesses continue to do well. Nice yield of over 5%.
TRADE
He is bullish on Telcos which do well in this environment. Some clients own BCE in their portfolios. Valuations are high and the dividend is not necessarily fully covered today but hopefully in a year. He prefers Telus which is better run with interesting assets and certainty of dividend growth.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 21/21, Up 26%) Still likes it within the sector. Canada's predominant player, though Telus is not far off. Core holding. Doing well with fibre, among the top in Canada. Yield approaching 5%.
BUY
Preference in the market for commodities, defensive companies and yield in the market. Rising interest rates not historically good for telecom industry. Sector looks attractive. Lots of money flowing into the business. A good name to hold if you already own it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 16/21, Up 23%) At the time, a recovery stock. Eventually a beneficiary of 5G. Great dividend that grows. Don't add here. Sell calls. Likes it long term.
BUY
Should be a core holding in a portfolio. Low growth, but pays a great dividend. You're buying stability and income. Shares may rise 2-4% a year + the dividend. Alternatives don't pay as much and are riskier.
HOLD
Rocking and rolling. Dividends in Canada are in favour. People want boring, safety, stability. He also owns Telus. Not the best ideas, but nice anchors to have in your portfolio.
BUY
Great franchise. Telecom stocks have started to rebound a bit. Increases dividend over time, which is important with rising rates. More for income, with only some capital growth. Good cashflow, wireless is one of the best. Nice dividend at 5.6%.
HOLD
A defensive dividend player. It will do fine. Slow dividend grower. Growing earnings at 5-6%. Not most inflation-protected, but a workhorse. You also need significant dividend growth of 10-14% a year in your portfolio. A volatility dampener. Look for dividend growers, as that's the theme that will benefit you the most in a rising rate environment. Good yield of 5.5%.
BUY

BUY
Clients ask him why he owns boring stocks compared to others which shoot up. Well, you need shock absorbers to give you steady returns. BCE's business won't evaporate tomorrow and it pays a nice, rising dividend. Everybody should own some portion of boring stocks, which provide a foundation to build and to allow friskier stocks to invest in.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. A mix of BCE and Telus is probably a good choice for exposure in the telco space. They should be able to pass inflation on to the end customer. They should also increase distributions to shareholders to offset inflation. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY
It's near its all-time high. It's a very steady company. Still buying it, averaging into it. Pays a steady 5.5% dividend.
BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks I don’t like the telecoms as a whole, because they enjoy an oligopoly and overcharge Canadian customers, but at least BCE offers stability, predictable growth and pays a safe 5.41% dividend. Read 4 Popular Headline Stocks for our full analysis.
BUY
It came off recent highs and offers good value at these levels. It would get hit in a general pull back, but the income is very attractive compared to other dividend plays.
