Telus’ 9% dividend yield looks tempting — but CIBC, SmartCentres and Leon’s are the TSX income names in play

Telus’ 9% dividend yield looks tempting — but CIBC, SmartCentres and Leon’s are the TSX income names in play

Motley Fool Canada’s Joey Frenette pointed out that investors attracted to Telus Corp’s roughly 9% dividend yield should weigh options carefully and consider Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce for a more stable income stream. He noted Telus has paused dividend growth until certain internal goals are met. Meanwhile, CIBC offers about a 3.4% yield and trades at roughly 13.3 times forward earnings, a valuation based on expected profits. Frenette also highlighted that although CIBC’s shares have jumped since late 2023, the bank’s sizable Canadian mortgage portfolio remains a critical risk factor.

TSMC sparks chip-stock surge as Wall Street rebounds on bank earnings

TSMC sparks chip-stock surge as Wall Street rebounds on bank earnings

Wall Street’s main indexes bounced back Thursday following two straight days of losses, buoyed by a chip rally fueled by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s positive outlook and fresh U.S. financial results. At 9:34 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 146.42 points, or 0.30%, the S&P 500 added 40.50 points, or 0.58%, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 197.64 points, or 0.84%, with Nvidia and chip-equipment stocks leading the gains. Financial shares faced pressure this week amid concerns over a proposed one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10%, even as markets continue to price in at least two Federal Reserve rate cuts by year-end, according to LSEG.
