  • TELUS (TSX:T) Stock Analysis: Is the Recent Price Drop a Buying Opportunity?
    May 1, 2026, 5:57 AM EDT. TELUS's share price has declined 12.4% over the past year, underperforming peers amid market concerns on telecom sector risks and interest rates. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model values TELUS at CA$46.21 per share, suggesting a significant undervaluation of 63.2% compared to the current price around CA$17.01. The DCF method projects rising free cash flows to CA$3.4 billion by 2030, supporting a bullish outlook. However, TELUS trades at a Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 23.9x, above the telecom industry average of 17.3x, indicating relatively high valuation versus earnings. Investors should weigh TELUS's essential role in Canadian telecom infrastructure against elevated valuation multiples and recent price softness before reassessing their positions.
