Telus Share Price Dip Signals Potential Debt Repayment via Dividend Cut

Source: DojiDoji Data Terminal

A 50% cut to Telus Corporation's dividends would preserve between $1 billion and $1.3 billion in cash, which the company can divert toward repaying debt and reducing its interest burden. This liquidity shift follows a dip in the stock price below $17, which inflated the dividend yield to 10.2%.

Victrex is funding its 10.4% dividend yield with debt

Investors holding Victrex shares now receive a 10.4% dividend yield. This yield climbed from 2.5% as management maintained payouts while the stock price fell close to 70% since April 2021. The decline was driven by a global inventory glut and higher interest rates reducing demand for PEEK polymers. In 2025, Victrex paid 59.56p per share in dividends against earnings per share of 32p. The company is taking on debt to fund dividend payments.

Telus ended December 2025 with a pause in dividend growth and a change to its dividend-reinvestment plan, phasing out a 2% discount on treasury shares by 2027. The company reported 1% revenue growth and 11% free cash flow growth in 2025, with revenue growth guidance of 2-4% for 2026.

United Internet cuts dividend to €0.50 per share

Shareholders of United Internet will receive €0.50 per share annually. This reduced dividend is part of a broader shift in capital allocation. Over the last three months, the share price has declined 6.42%. The company is currently executing a large-scale rollout and upgrade of its own fiber-optic and mobile (Open RAN/5G) infrastructure. This investment reduces dependency on third-party networks and lowers wholesale access costs. These cost reductions are expected to drive improved net margins and long-term earnings. A fair value estimate of €30.60 per share is based on the expectation that these margins expand and revenue progresses.

Management is working to reduce the company's leverage ratio from 3.4 times in 2025 to 3.0 times by 2027. The target range for this ratio is 2.2-2.7 times. Using the savings from a dividend cut to repay debt would accelerate the achievement of this leverage target.
