TSE-T – Analysis and financial data

Telus offers stable dividend. It’s somewhat similar to a bond with better return. The company enjoys being part of an industry that has high barriers to entry. The competition is limited to the usual players such as BCE, Rogers…etc. The industry itself can be viewed as an oligopoly. Many analysts consider the dividend to be safe but warn of limited growth.
