Encroachment on Cogeco's Rural and Suburban Wireline Networks Will Pressure Results
Business Strategy and Outlook
Cogeco has successfully expanded its broadband networks into underserved Canadian and US markets with lighter competition. However, we expect this advantage to narrow over time as established incumbents close coverage gaps, making significant revenue growth and margin expansion difficult. We therefore view Cogeco’s strategy as sensible but increasingly dependent on defending existing customers rather than expanding its footprint.
