Rogers Communications dividend appeal

Overview

In the second quarter of 2026, BCE Inc. reported modest revenue and EBITDA growth, improving its net‑debt leverage and generating over C$1 billion in free cash flow. The carrier added postpaid mobile customers and reduced churn to its lowest level since 2023, citing progress in fiber rollout, AI‑driven data‑center services, and disciplined cost control.

Rogers Communications posted an 8% year‑over‑year revenue increase to roughly $5.6 billion, with adjusted EBITDA up 3% and earnings of $1.15 per share. Free cash flow rose 6% to $982 million, helped by lower capital spending. Analysts highlighted Rogers’ stable cash flow and dividend yield of about 4.2% as attractive for income‑focused investors, often recommending it over other Canadian telecoms despite a slightly lower yield.

The combined earnings releases underscore a broader market view that Canadian telecoms, particularly Rogers, remain appealing dividend candidates amid steady cash generation and operational improvements.
