BCE Offers Discounted Share Issuance in Dividend PlanBulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
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.
Strategic AcquisitionBCE'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.
Bears Say
Financial Pressure From AcquisitionBCE's proposed acquisition of Ziply is likely to place incremental near-term pressure on the investment thesis, including lower FCF generation, delayed easing in balance sheet leverage, and incremental dilution from the DRIP introduction.
Stock PerformanceBCE's share price continues to struggle, down 13% over the past month and a staggering 37% YTD, indicating an underlying loss of confidence in the stock.
Wireless Revenue DeclineWireless service revenue trends turned negative for the first time outside the pandemic, with notable degradation in wireless fundamentals in Q3.
