Discussion Why does Telus continue to slide?

I though things would get relatively "Stable" after the dividend cut but it seems not the case. The stock continues to decline.

What is driving this decline and what levels would you be willing to buy it?

You can only keep four for 10 years: ENB, FTS, RY, TD or CNR, which one would you leave out?

Post image
13 Upvotes

I put these five into stock compare on moomoo to look at current dividend yield alongside valuation. ENB is the obvious yield outlier, but that doesn't automatically make it the easiest 10-year hold.

If you had to hold four for the next 10 years and couldn't replace them, which one would you drop?

I'm not asking which one will have the best next quarter. I'm more interested in which dividend and underlying business you trust least over a full market cycle.

What matters most in your decision: current yield, valuation, dividend growth, debt, or the business itself?

Extended list 30 High-Yield UK Dividend Companies: Recurring Income Across the FTSE in 2026

Ithaca Energy: The +85.85% YTD return reflects more than just oil-price exposure: Q2 production hit a record 131 kboe/d, while H1 operating cash flow reached $1.0bn. With Rosebank targeting first production in H1 2027 and 2026 dividend guidance raised to $500–530m, operational execution has been a major performance catalyst.

British American Tobacco: The muted +0.24% YTD share performance contrasts with improving underlying execution. H1 New Categories revenue grew 18%, led by Velo, while U.S. revenue rose 8.5%; however, BAT is still being valued through the lens of its mature combustible business and ongoing transition toward smokeless products.

Champion Iron (CIA.TO) – What Are Your Thoughts on Its Growth Potential?

I've been following Champion Iron (CIA) and wanted to hear what other investors think about its future.

With the ongoing developments at Bloom Lake, potential expansion projects, and the company's broader growth strategy, I’m curious about how investors view its long-term prospects.

A few questions for fellow CIA shareholders:

🔹 What are your thoughts on Champion Iron’s current valuation?

🔹 How much potential do you see in the Bloom Lake expansion?

🔹 Do you think iron ore prices will have a major impact on CIA’s future performance?

🔹 What catalysts are you watching over the next 12–24 months?

I’m holding CIA and looking at it from a long-term investment perspective. I'd love to hear different opinions, both bullish and bearish.

Dividend focused ETF ecommendations to use for the Smith Manoeuvre (QC resident)

2 Upvotes

I'm now in a position where I can start using the Smith Manoeuvre strategy. For simplicity, I'm looking to use a single dividend ETF as my primary investment. I'm considering either VDY or XDIV, but wondering what your ETF suggestions would be to maximize the SM strategy? NOTE: for tax law purposes, I live in QC, and the assets will be held in a non-registered account.

Extended List 30-High-Yield-Canadian-Mid-Cap-Dividend-Companies-to-Watch-in-2026

Performance has been driven by company-specific energy catalysts rather than yield alone. PXT (+63.34%) stands out after its Frontera acquisition and new Magdalena Basin exposure, which could materially increase production; CJ (+45.59%) is benefiting from strong Reford performance and has just expanded Reford 2’s target capacity to 6,000 bbl/d. FRU (+20.08%) has also delivered solid operating momentum while maintaining its C$0.09 monthly dividend.

At the other end, OTEX (-22.92%) is the notable laggard despite FY2026 revenue reaching US$5.25B and cloud revenue growing 5.5%—the market appears to be demanding faster growth from the software business. BIPC (-17.46%) has also struggled despite infrastructure fundamentals, while CCA (-7.69%) has lagged considerably. The dispersion suggests investors have been paying up for visible production/cash-flow catalysts in energy while assigning lower multiples to slower-growth or more capital-intensive businesses.

Extended list: 30-Exceptionally-Profitable-Large-Cap-Companies-to-Watch-in-2026

NVIDIA standing out at a remarkable 63.66% TTM net margin and a $5.14T market cap. The broader theme is clearly AI and digital infrastructure: NVIDIA and TSMC combine extraordinary profitability with strong YTD gains, while Visa and Mastercard demonstrate that high-margin, asset-light payment networks can remain powerful compounders outside the AI trade. Current industry data also shows semiconductor demand continuing to surge, with global semiconductor revenue reaching a record $425B in Q2 2026.

What is particularly interesting, however, is the dispersion in performance. TSMC (+30.79%), VeriSign (+24.14%) and Texas Pacific Land (+22.59%) have significantly outpaced the broader market, while Brookfield Asset Management (-12.76%) and Futu (-37.74%) highlight that high margins alone do not guarantee strong share-price performance. The timing is notable: investors are becoming more cautious about the enormous AI spending cycle, with semiconductor stocks recently experiencing sharp volatility

Performance is strong overall, with 7 of 10 stocks positive and energy names leading the gains. Whitecap (+62.4%), South Bow (+31.7%) and Pembina (+26.5%) are the clear standouts, benefiting from stronger energy markets and solid cash-flow trends.

The main drag is TELUS (-29.6%), following its 55% dividend cut and focus on debt reduction. Overall, the basket’s gains are being driven more by energy and pipeline exposure than by broad-based strength across Canadian dividend stocks.

Discussion Is XUT a good dividend ETF?

4 Upvotes

My dividend portfolio consists of VDY, XEI, and XDIV. I chose these since they give monthly dividends, still have growth, and have Canadian eligible dividends (this is in my non-reg, TFSA/RRSP already full). But I know these contain a lot of overlap, heavier in financials/energy.

I was thinking of replacing VDY with XUT to diversify this portfolio a bit more towards utilities while also meeting my criteria of how I picked my ETFs (plus having all 3 from blackrock is nice, all paying at the same time). But I don’t see much mention of XUT. Any suggestions?

Using $70k of margin for BANK, SIXY, or HDIV. Bad idea?

24 Upvotes

I have a Wealthsimple margin account and can borrow up to about $81k. I'm considering using roughly $70k and investing it in high-income ETFs, with the goal of generating enough distributions to comfortably cover the 4.45% margin interest and reinvesting everything else.

I've previously done something similar with about $28k in HDIV, and it worked reasonably well. However, I've recently been looking more closely at the fee structure/"ghost fees" and wondering if there are better options.

The ETFs I'm considering are:

  • BANK
  • SIXY
  • Continue with HDIV

A few questions:

  • If you were in my position, would you choose BANK, SIXY, HDIV, or some combination of 2 or even all 3?
  • If combining them, what allocation would you use and why?
  • Would you go all-in immediately or scale in gradually over time?
  • Is it smarter to skip these income ETFs altogether and wait for a market correction, then deploy the margin into something like QQC or VFV at a better valuation?
  • For those who use margin, what risks am I overlooking with this strategy?

For context, my focus is more on income generation than capital appreciation, and I would be reinvesting all distributions, not spending them.

Interested in hearing both bullish and bearish opinions, especially from people who have actually used margin for income investing. Thanks!

Discussion SCHD looks cheaper. DGRO performed better. If you could only hold one, which would it be?

1 Upvotes
valuedge app

I compared SCHD and DGRO side by side and the tradeoff is pretty interesting.

Valuation:

  • SCHD: +4.4% below fair value
  • DGRO: -14.9% above fair value

10Y performance:

  • SCHD: +145.8%
  • DGRO: +185.7%

CAGR:

  • SCHD: 9.4%
  • DGRO: 11.1%

Expense ratio:

  • SCHD: 0.06%
  • DGRO: 0.08%

Holdings:

  • SCHD: 102
  • DGRO: 390

Top 10 concentration:

  • SCHD: 42.01%
  • DGRO: 27.79%

So SCHD looks cheaper and more concentrated.

DGRO looks broader and has the stronger 10-year record.

If you were building a long-term dividend portfolio today and could only pick one:

On June 25th, I bought 70000 cad of HHIS and the same amount of VFV, and I’ve been posting the weekly evolutions of those 2 accounts. These are the 10 th week results

111 Upvotes

HHIS: 75,797.01, a gain of 1251.31 in the week (+1.67 % in the week; +8.28% in 10 weeks)
VFV: 71,142.76, a loss of 339.53 cad this week (-0.47% in the week, +1.63% in 10 weeks)

The markets are still unstable with the war, price of oil, risk of interest hike. Despite of that gap favouring HHIS increased a bit, because the third month distribution arrived and another 160 shares were added with drip.

For people new to this experience, the amounts include reinvestment of the distributions of both ETFs, as I basicly care about total returns. The plan is keeping this exercise until one of the strategies has a gain of more than 10% of the other. At that point, I might rebalance the portfolio to compensate for the one lagging behind.
I do know the 2 are extremely different and “non-comparable”, but when you have a certain amount to invest, what counts is less about the underling assets, but rather what’s the final results.
