BCE stock dividends

BCE dividend payout ratio: 136.49% of net profits

Recently BCE has paid out, on average, around 136.49% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.46% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), BCE shareholders could enjoy a 5.46% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In BCE's case, that would currently equate to about C$3.43 per share.

BCE's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

BCE's most recent dividend payout was on October 15, 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by September 15, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

BCE stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for BCE stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• BCE's P/E ratio

  BCE's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 5x. In other words, BCE shares trade at around 5 times recent earnings.

• BCE's PEG ratio

  BCE's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 0.2301. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in BCE's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• BCE's EBITDA

  BCE's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is C$8.7 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

Has BCE stock ever split?

BCE's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on May 11, 1997. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your BCE stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for BCE stocks, which in turn could have impacted BCE's stock price.

How volatile is BCE stock?

Over the last 12 months, BCE's stocks price has ranged from C$27.95 to as high as C$36.84. BCE's beta measurement of stock volatility is 0.65. For comparison, the market (Toronto Stock Exchange) average beta is 1. This would suggest that BCE's stocks are less volatile than average (on this exchange).

Some analysists use "beta" to gauge a stock's volatility. Beta is a popular way to measure a stocks volatility in relation to the market. Here is a breakdown of BCE's beta stock volatility rating.
