Telus’ 9% dividend yield looks tempting — but CIBC, SmartCentres and Leon’s are the TSX income names in play
Telus Corp has paused dividend growth and will maintain its C$0.4184 quarterly payout, while its yield remains near 9% due to a pressured share price. Joey Frenette of Motley Fool Canada flagged CIBC as a more stable alternative, offering a 3.4% yield but facing mortgage risk. SmartCentres REIT yields 6.91%, and Leon’s Furniture, at 3.36%, is considering a REIT spin-off.
