At May-end, Bell announced an additional investment of C$1.7 billion over the next two years to accelerate the rollout of its broadband fiber, 5G, and rural networks. It continues to help drive Canada’s recovery from the pandemic. The latest technological advancement will be beneficial for the economic development of the community.
The capital acceleration is more than the almost C$4 billion that Bell usually invests in broadband network infrastructure and expansion each year. It will significantly increase the connections in localities across the country while creating employment opportunities.
In the wireless business, Bell is witnessing healthy subscriber base growth, thanks to its focus on higher-value smartphone loadings, demand for its IoT solutions and higher average revenue per mobile phone user. It is likely to benefit from investments to enhance 5G access speed and coverage.
The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
