Rogers, Telus, and BCE: The Selloff is Overdone; We Favor Rogers, but All Three Look Like Bargains

The Big Three Canadian telecom firms have all sold off substantially over the past month after members of Parliament summoned the three CEOs to testify before a House of Commons committee. The CEOs were grilled on March 18 and the MPs have not yet taken action. While vilifying telecom firms is popular, and consumers undoubtedly desire lower prices, we don’t expect major regulatory changes. We’re maintaining our fair value estimates of CAD 78 for Rogers, CAD 33 for Telus, and CAD 60 for BCE.
