Description: TU Telus December 17, 2025

Telus Corp (NYSE:TU) operates two primary divisions: Technology Solutions, which delivers a broad portfolio of telecom infrastructure, mobile and fixed voice/data services, cloud, data analytics, and health-tech offerings; and Digitally-Led Customer Experiences, focused on AI-driven digital transformation, content management, and customer-engagement platforms.

Key operating metrics (2023) include ≈ $15.9 billion in total revenue, a 13.2% EBITDA margin, and roughly 13 million wireless subscribers, with a 5-year CAGR of ~2.5% in post-paid lines. Growth is driven by continued 5G rollout, rising demand for health-technology services (e.g., Telus Health’s virtual care platform now serves over 1 million users), and a regulated Canadian telecom market that limits price competition but ensures stable cash flows. Capital expenditures remain high, with FY2024 capex guidance of $2.2 billion, reflecting network expansion and cloud infrastructure investment.
