Although Telus has historically differentiated itself through consistent dividend increases, JPMorgan argues that rising debt levels, persistent free-cash-flow constraints, and competitive pricing dynamics within the Canadian wireless market limit the company\u2019s ability to continue raising payouts without compromising balance-sheet flexibility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"1312\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">JPMorgan also added that the broader macro backdrop, characterized by softer consumer spending, telecom regulatory headwinds, and slower subscriber additions also reduces near-term earnings visibility. This combination of weaker growth fundamentals and tight cash flow ultimately drives the firm\u2019s view that Telus may need to prioritize deleveraging over dividend expansion, justifying the reduced target price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telus Corp.
