MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). 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.

TELUS
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

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

  • TELUS Co. is currently trading at $8.92, which is significantly below its 52-week high of $14.95, offering a potential entry point for value-oriented investors who believe the market has overreacted to recent earnings misses.
  • The company has outlined a comprehensive transformation strategy targeting CAD 900 million in annualized cash savings by the end of 2028, which is expected to improve free cash flow and support debt reduction through operational efficiencies and asset sales.
  • TELUS Co. maintains a high dividend yield of 5.87%, providing a substantial income stream for shareholders, with the company reaffirming its quarterly dividend of CAD 0.1875 per share despite recent financial pressures.
  • Wireless customer trends have shown improvement, with the company adding 84,000 mobile phone subscribers on a net basis and achieving a blended churn rate of 1.01%, which is the lowest quarterly result in three years, indicating stronger customer retention.
  • TELUS Co. is positioning itself in the growing artificial intelligence infrastructure market, projecting approximately CAD 500 million in cumulative digital infrastructure revenue over the next three years from data-center connectivity and sovereign AI services.

TELUS
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • TELUS Co. reported a GAAP loss in the third quarter due to a CAD 800 million non-cash goodwill impairment at TELUS Health, which drove basic earnings per share to negative CAD 0.42 and highlighted valuation challenges in its health segment.
  • The company missed its third-quarter earnings estimates, reporting $0.11 per share against a consensus of $0.13, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of missing analyst expectations and raising concerns about execution and profitability.
  • Free cash flow declined by 35% to CAD 396 million in the third quarter, reflecting lower EBITDA and higher capital expenditures, which could limit the company's ability to fund growth initiatives and debt reduction without external financing.
  • TELUS Co. faces a high net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.6 times, which is above its target of 3.0 times or less, indicating significant leverage that may constrain financial flexibility and increase risk in a rising interest rate environment.
  • Consolidated service revenue fell 1% year-over-year to CAD 4.5 billion, and adjusted EBITDA declined 5% to CAD 1.8 billion, suggesting underlying weakness in the core telecom business despite efforts to improve margins and customer retention.
