Method: 10-year unlevered FCF DCF (CAD, converted to USD): $3.2B CAD normalized FCF base (vs. 3-yr avg of $3.25B CAD and a depressed TTM of $2.66B CAD); 3% annual FCF growth for years 1-5; 2% for years 6-10; 8% discount rate; 2% terminal growth; $41.58B CAD net debt; 932.53M shares outstanding; CAD/USD converted at 1 USD = 1.42432 CAD.

Reasoning: BCE is a mature, heavily-levered Canadian telecom (net debt is roughly 13x normalized FCF) that cut its dividend in 2025 due to cash-flow strain, so a multi-stage unlevered FCF DCF with an above-market 8% discount rate captures balance-sheet risk better than a simple earnings multiple; inputs use normalized rather than TTM-depressed FCF and modest growth reflecting a saturated Canadian wireless/wireline/fiber market.
