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. Despite the market's negative reaction, Ziply Fiber aligns better with BCE's telecom operations, potentially offering higher operating revenues than MLSE. Lower Canadian interest rates and potential tax-loss selling create a buying opportunity for dividend investors, even with the risk of dividend cuts.
