Rogers Communications: Strong Capex Reduction Boosts Free Cash Flow

Rogers Communications delivered a robust Q1, with a net profit of C$482 million and EPS up nearly 60% year-over-year. RCI's free cash flow exceeded expectations due to lower capex, with guidance for sustained reduced capex through 2026. Management now anticipates 2026 net free cash flow of C$4.1 billion–C$4.3 billion, supporting accelerated debt reduction and dividend coverage.
