Quebecor Earnings: Integration of Freedom Mobile Continues to Drive Wireless Business

Matthew Dolgin

Quebecor’s quarterly results reflected continued progress in integrating Freedom Mobile and expanding its presence as a national wireless carrier. The rest of Quebecor’s business continues to struggle amid a challenging landscape, as internet revenue growth slowed, and other businesses declined year over year. However, wireless is the most important growth business, and we remain confident in Quebecor’s ability to add both wireless and internet subscribers. We’re maintaining our CAD 40 per share fair value estimate and believe shares are undervalued.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Quebecor’s national wireless ambitions should benefit from a favorable regulatory environment. It should be able to offer promotions and gain share without taking significant economic losses.

Bears

As a national wireless carrier, Quebecor will have none of the advantages that have made it successful in Quebec.

Company Profile

Quebecor primarily provides telecom services in Quebec, where it has roughly 1.7 million internet subscribers—equating to a penetration rate of about 50% in its footprint—and over 3 million mobile subscribers, including more than 20% wireless market share in Quebec. With the acquisition of Freedom Mobile in April 2023, Quebecor also has more than 1.5 million mobile subscribers in Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta. Quebecor also offers a French-language subscription video-on-demand service and has a media segment that owns and operates television stations, publishes newspapers and magazines, and produces and distributes films and television shows. A very small portion of Quebecor’s business engages in live event production and promotion and owns live-event venues.
