BCE reported modest third-quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth as the firm navigates the challenging wireless market. BCE is betting on Canadian data center and US broadband expansion to drive future growth, even as heavy investment and debt weigh on the balance sheet.
Migrating customers off legacy copper and onto fiber has lowered operating costs and helps reduce churn through better service and increased bundling with wireless.
Quebecor’s national expansion will likely keep wireless pricing competitive, limiting BCE’s ability to grow service revenue.
