Description: TU Telus February 11, 2026
Telus Corporation (NYSE: TU) operates two primary segments in Canada: Technology Solutions, which delivers a broad portfolio of telecom, data, cloud, and health-care IT services, and Digitally-Led Customer Experiences, focused on AI-enabled digital transformation and content-management tools for enterprise clients.
In its most recent quarter (Q4 2025), Telus reported revenue of $9.8 billion, an EBITDA margin of 34 % and free cash flow of $1.2 billion, supported by a mobile subscriber base of roughly 10.3 million and over 3.2 million fiber-to-the-home connections. Capital expenditures remained elevated at $2.1 billion, reflecting continued 5G rollout and network modernization-key sector drivers given Canada’s regulatory environment that caps price increases but encourages infrastructure investment. Macro-level factors such as Canadian consumer confidence and corporate IT spending growth (estimated 4 % YoY) also influence Telus’s near-term outlook.
