BCE (BCE) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
BCE is expected to achieve significant free cash flow (FCF) growth, projecting a 7% increase in 2026, reaching $3.4 billion, along with a 16% rise in FCF after lease liabilities to $2.4 billion. The company's outlook for the period from 2025 to 2028 suggests improved revenue and adjusted EBITDA compounded annual growth rates (CAGRs) of 1% to 2% for its Consumer and Small Business segments, supported by accelerated Internet momentum and improvements in postpaid churn and wireless average revenue per user (ARPU). Furthermore, BCE's strategic expansion into Western Canada and growth opportunities in its Enterprise segment enhance its earnings visibility and overall risk profile, reflecting a positive trajectory for the company's financial health.
Bears say
BCE's wireless and broadband segment shows a concerning trend, as it has reported a significant decline in non-fiber high-speed internet subscribers, with losses amounting to approximately 4-5K customers per quarter, reflecting a steep decline of 7-9% quarter-over-quarter. Furthermore, cash generation post-dividend payments is expected to contribute a mere 0.1x reduction in leverage by 2026, indicating a sluggish growth outlook and potential challenges in financial stability. Supply chain issues and economic uncertainty also pose risks to the wireline segment, leading to decreased visibility and reliability in forecasting key performance indicators.
