Q: I am a dividend growth investor and I’m running out of patience with Rogers who hasn’t increased its dividend in over 3 yrs. It appears that Rogers takeover of Shaw is almost certain at this point. This takeover will cost Rogers 20 billion and likely add significant debt to their balance sheet. Do you see Rogers increasing its dividend anytime soon or ever again? I’m considering selling my Rogers shares for a small profit and using the proceeds to increase my Telus holdings and was curious as to your thoughts on this move. Really appreciate the great service that you provide.

Q: hi,
what is your "guesstimate" of upside/downside in stock price if the shaw deal is approved/not approved?
cheers, chris

Q: Hello 5i team,

The shares of Rogers Communications are at a more attractive level these days. In your opinion, have they reached a bottom or will they continue to go down because of the expectation of lower earnings due to customer rebates? Is the company a buy, hold or sell? If one was to buy, what would be a good entry point?

Many thanks for your insight.

Q: Do you see these stocks being hit because of the Rogers outage? James

Q: Hello 5i, Could you comment as to which company is likely to buy Freedom Mobile from Shaw so that Rogers can takeover Shaw. I think Quebecor and Globalive want to purchase Freedom Mobile.

Q: Good Morning,

I have recently retired and need to improve yield. The above noted holdings have a low yield or have not performed well.

Can you please rate from first to sell down to last to sell and possibly provide some basic reasoning.

Thanks very much.

Q: Hello.
I have owned all 3 of BCE, T and RCI.B for years in an income-generating portfolio of dividend stocks, around 12% of the total.
Considering selling RCI.B and splitting the proceeds between BCE and T, to simplify and to capture more income from BCE and more growth from T.
Does holding RCI.B provide some "diversification" value amongst the three?
Thanks as always.

Q: Hi !

Not the most astute way to do things...but here goes.

I bought a pile of RCI.B shares a few days ago. Good decision? Bad? What should I do now?

Q: I have held BCE & RCI.b for 15 years as my Telecom Holdings (5% each of my equity portfolio). I just sold my RCI.b shares due to poor performance over the years plus the current squabble just pushed me over the edge.

Do you think Telus would make a suitable replacement for RCI.b in the Telecom space given its diversification in 5G, health, international etc. even though it doesn't own the Toronto Blue Jays or any other sports teams.

Thanks

Q: Lovely. This internecine 'Battle of the Board' is more fun than watching similar machinations play out on the HBO mini-series 'Succession'.

"The turmoil within Rogers Communications spilled into the public last week as Rogers’ only son, Edward, sought control of the company after being ousted as chair of the board by his mother and sisters. Now, two factions within the company’s senior ranks are fighting for dominance over the company’s future."

Q: With the current gong show at Rogers corporate board would you be inclined to hold on to a current position or sell? I currently hold Telus and BCE as well as Rogers.

Q: Hi, what is your outlook for Rogers - is it more of an opportunity than a laggard? The stock has lagged other telecoms and its below its 200 day moving average.

Q: I notice that you do not think the Rogers-Shaw merger will be approved. Will you explain your reasons for that? Thanks

Q: What stocks in Canada do you believe will do well with the passing of the Infrastructure Bill and Reconciliation Bill in the USA? Please list in order of preference. Thanks.

Q: Hi, I have owned the three big Telcos BCE, Rogers and Telus for about four years now. Since I have owned these companies Bell and Telus have raised their dividends on an annual basis and semi annual basis as is the case with Telus. However, Rogers has not raised its dividend since January 2019. Do you have any idea why Rogers does no raise their dividend as often as BCE and Telus? Also, how would you rank the three of them in terms of preference on a total return basis where 1 is the most preferred. Many thanks.

Q: They are all high-paying dividend stocks, but I want to know why BCE consistently has a higher dividend. Is it because the market is reflecting that BCE doesn't have good growth prospects or are people missing something. Seems like they have at least similar prospects as Rogers (while I know Telus is doing many things outside of telecom so might deserve a higher valuation and lower dividend.)

Q: I'm having trouble locating your last Report on Telus. Would you direct me please.
And would you comment on the present price of Telus being an opportune point of acquisition vis a vis Rogers and Shaw's current dance.
