李白的李 : Based on the trend of macroeconomics, there is no hope left.

SoundOfMusic OP : BCE, through its subsidiary FX Innovation, acquired HGC Technologies (HGC) in October 2024. HGC is a ServiceNow Elite partner based in Montréal, with operations in both Canada and the United States
Key Capabilities and Potentials of HGC Technologies:

This expertise allows them to provide customized integrations of the ServiceNow platform into their clients' ecosystems, accelerating business results.

Strategic Alignment with FX Innovation: The acquisition of HGC strengthens FX Innovation's position as a leading ServiceNow partner. It enhances their ability to offer end-to-end ServiceNow-related services, AI-driven automation, and insights, helping clients drive business transformation.
Expansion into the U.S. Market: HGC's existing U.S. customer base aligns with FX Innovation's strategic plans for expansion into the U.S. market. This provides immediate access to a new and growing customer segment, furthering BCE's growth ambitions.
This acquisition marks another significant step in BCE's transformation journey from a traditional telecommunications company to a technology services leader, leveraging advanced digital and AI capabilities to support mission-critical business outcomes

李白的李 : Bell needs to learn from Telus and spin off the enterprise business of the company for IPO. Analysts estimate that the dividends are unsustainable, with very heavy selling pressure recently and no bid support at all. On the other hand, Rogers, Telus, and even Québecor, despite experiencing corrections, have buying interest.

SoundOfMusic OP : The new dividend reinvestment plan will keep the payout ratio below 100%. Dividend reinvestment gives a 3% discount on the share price. The shares will be coming out from the treasuries. At any time, BCE can also do a share buyback to refill the treasuries, especially around these low prices.
IPO and spinoff are good ideas.

Bryan Siow : I long for Bell looking forward 5 years performance

SoundOfMusic : I'm comfortable with BCE's investment in Ziply. Right geography, right price, and right growth.

Abid Zaman : I think the stocks will take a hit again however in the long run I do believe it is a good business decision

SoundOfMusic : BCE announced 10% buyback. The company is saying it is undervalued.
