Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in TELUS Co.:

  • The stock is currently trading at $9.68, which is near its 52-week low of $9.20, suggesting that the stock may be undervalued relative to its historical trading range and offering a potential entry point for value-oriented investors.
  • TELUS Co. has a low beta of 0.63, indicating that the stock is less volatile than the overall market, which can help reduce portfolio risk and provide more stable returns during periods of market uncertainty.

TELUS
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in TELUS Co. for these reasons:

  • TELUS Co. has a negative P/E ratio of -23.61, indicating that the company is currently unprofitable, which raises concerns about its financial health and ability to generate earnings for shareholders.
  • The company recently cut its dividend, which could signal financial stress or a need to conserve cash, potentially reducing the appeal for income-focused investors who rely on consistent dividend payments.
  • TELUS Co. has a high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.88, indicating a significant level of leverage that could increase financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or the company faces challenges in generating sufficient cash flow to service its debt.
  • Analysts have downgraded TELUS Co. to a "Reduce" consensus rating, with several firms such as Desjardins and Royal Bank of Canada lowering their ratings, reflecting a negative outlook on the stock's future performance and potential for further declines.
  • TELUS Co. missed its earnings expectations in the most recent quarter, reporting EPS of $0.12 compared to the consensus estimate of $0.16, which could indicate operational challenges or a decline in profitability that may impact investor confidence.
