Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Acquisition StrategyBCE's acquisition of Ziply Fiber is expected to significantly increase their fibre footprint in North America, adding a growth element to BCE’s financial profile.
Financial PerformanceManagement's definition of FCF is expected to rise from $3.35/sh in F2024 to $3.64 in F2025, indicating an anticipated improvement in free cash flow.
Revenue GrowthInternet revenue growth was a bright spot, ticking up to 5% supported by positive mix changes and price action.
Bears Say
Dividend RiskHigh leverage and the dividend at over 120% of free cash flow pose risks until a plan is shared to address these concerns.
Loss Of Defensive Stock StatusBCE’s long-held mantle as a highly defensive, low beta stock is no longer valid, which could lead to a material change in shareholder composition.
Wireless Revenue DeclineWireless service revenue trends turned negative for the first time outside the pandemic, with notable degradation in wireless fundamentals in Q3.
