Description: RCI Rogers Communications October 16, 2025
Rogers Communications Inc. (NYSE:RCI) is a diversified Canadian communications and media firm operating three core segments-Wireless, Cable, and Media-delivering mobile voice, data, and IoT services under the Rogers, Fido, and chatr brands, broadband and Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as a portfolio of television, radio, and sports-media assets including Sportsnet and the Toronto Blue Jays.
In the Wireless segment, Rogers reported approximately 10.8 million post-paid subscribers and 13 million prepaid lines in 2023, with 5G coverage now reaching roughly 90 % of the Canadian population; the segment contributed about 55 % of total revenue and posted an average revenue per user (ARPU) of $55-$58, reflecting modest growth despite competitive pressure from Bell and Telus.
The Cable and Media businesses generate the remaining 45 % of revenue, anchored by Ignite TV broadband services, a suite of specialty TV channels, and advertising sales; in 2023, the media segment saw a 4 % YoY increase in ad revenue, driven by higher sports-related viewership and the continued rollout of 4K programming.
Key economic drivers for Rogers include Canada’s relatively high household broadband penetration (≈94 %), ongoing 5G infrastructure investment (≈$2.5 billion capex in 2023), and regulatory constraints that limit price competition but protect market share; however, the company carries a debt-to-equity ratio of roughly 1.2 ×, which could constrain future dividend flexibility.
