Telus ( (TSE:T) ) has issued an announcement.
TELUS will amend its Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan effective April 1, 2026, reducing the discount on shares issued from treasury for dividend reinvestment to 1.75 per cent off the average market price, while optional cash purchases will be made at full market value. The change, applying to shareholders of record as of March 11, 2026, fine-tunes the economics of its DRISP for Canadian and U.S. investors and may modestly adjust the company’s equity funding mix and attractiveness of share-based dividend reinvestment without altering overall access to the program.
Eligible shareholders in Canada and the United States can continue to reinvest dividends or enroll in the DRISP through Computershare, while non-registered holders are directed to work through their intermediaries. By maintaining the program with a lower discount rather than eliminating it, TELUS balances ongoing investor participation incentives with a more measured approach to share issuance from treasury, which could help manage dilution while preserving an efficient capital-raising tool.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:T) stock is a Hold with a C$19.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Telus stock, see the TSE:T Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on TSE:T Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:T is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by balance-sheet leverage and a weak-to-neutral technical trend (price below key longer-term moving averages). Offsetting factors include improving free cash flow and steady revenue growth, plus an earnings-call backdrop of strong customer metrics and growth initiatives (Health/AI), while valuation is mixed with a very high yield but a relatively high P/E.
