The Value Case For BCE: Why The Market Is Wrong About The Ziply Deal
BCE's recent 44% share price drop is due to concerns over the $7B Ziply acquisition and potential dividend cuts, but the core business remains strong. The Ziply deal offers growth opportunities in the U.S. fiber market, potentially boosting EBITDA and geographic diversification, despite higher capital intensity and execution risks. A dividend cut in 2026 is likely, which could free up cash for debt repayment and growth investments, potentially leading to a share price rebound.
BCE price target lowered to C$35 from C$37 at National Bank

BCE: The Ziply Deal Is Not As Bad As It Seems
BCE's sale of MLSE stake to Rogers aimed to streamline the company, but the $5B Ziply Fiber acquisition raised management concerns, leading to a rating downgrade.

Lower Canadian interest rates and potential tax-loss selling create a buying opportunity for dividend investors, even with the risk of dividend cuts.
