We transfer coverage of the Canadian telecom providers: Rogers, BCE, Telus, Quebecor, and Cogeco. These firms account for nearly all of the wireless and wireline services provided in Canada, with all but Cogeco operating national wireless networks, and Rogers and BCE the largest wireline networks.
Rogers’ telecom business remains resilient despite an increasingly unfriendly operating environment. As Canada’s highest-quality telecom business, improving results should boost the stock price.
Quebecor’s emergence as a fourth national wireless carrier continues to squeeze Rogers with aggressive pricing and promotional activity.
