Q: Hello 5i,
I couldn't find an answer for this question, so I hope it isn't a repetitive one. If so, my apologies.
Given that BCE will cut the dividend (even if just for argument's sake), what will be the impact on the share price? In your experience, does the size of the dividend cut generally equate to a similar sized rebound in price, or a fraction thereof? If a 50% dividend cut, what might be the potential rebound compared to a complete elimination of the dividend?
And, finally, any sense of when the board would want to have that decision made?
Many thanks for your insights - much appreciated, as always!!
Cheers,
Mike

It is a tough question. We have seen stocks rise with a dividend cut, but has also seen them...
