TELUS (TU) Continues PureFibre Network Expansion in Canada
Read MoreHide Full Article
TELUS Corporation (TU - Free Report) is making an investment of C$9 million in the Mékinac and Les Chenaux RCM region to upgrade its network infrastructure. The company will launch its PureFibre and 5G network in communities across Batiscan, Hérouxville, Saint-Adelphe and Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan.
TELUS is also developing a wireless site in Saint-Adelphe to provide its PureFibre and 5G network.
This initiative by TELUS aims to close the digital gap by promoting innovation in local businesses and tourism, attracting young employees and speeding up the development of virtual health and education services.
Broadband connectivity is required for jobs, entertainment, education and enhanced healthcare. Per TELUS, this allows countries to expand, accelerate their environmental change and advertise their attractions more dynamically.
Nearly 1,700 homes and businesses in Batiscan, Hérouxville, Saint-Adelphe and Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan will have access to faster and more dependable Internet technology with equal upload and download speeds and nearly infinite bandwidth. This enables customers to work, stream and make video chats simultaneously.
Earlier, TELUS announced an investment of C$17.5 billion in British Columbia and C$11 billion in Quebec to boost network infrastructure, operations and spectrum and generate employment opportunities.
TELUS also made an investment of C$10 million in the Chaudière-Appalaches region and a private investment of C$14 million in the Estrie region of Canada. The company has committed to an overall investment of C$70 billion across Canada by 2026.
Expanding its high-speed PureFibre network will likely help TELUS boost its subscriber base and top-line performance. TU, a leading telecom service provider based in Vancouver, Canada, has launched 5G networks in several places in the country. It acquired a 100% stake in Mobile Klinik to grow its wireless business. It is well-positioned to benefit from the increasing penetration of smart devices, wireless data services and wireline fiber-optic networks.
TELUS recently reported healthy first-quarter 2022 results. It recorded adjusted earnings per share of C$0.30 (24 cents) in first-quarter 2022 compared with C$0.27 per share in the prior-year quarter. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 23 cents.
Subscriber growth and double-digit revenue growth across the TELUS International, TELUS Health and TELUS Agriculture segments boosted the company’s top-line performance. Quarterly total operating revenues increased 6.4% year over year to C$4,282 million ($3,381 million).
The stock has gained 0.6% compared with the industry’s rise of 2.7% in the past year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for InterDigital’s 2022 earnings is pegged at $3.28 per share, increasing 5.13% in the past 60 days. The long-term earnings growth rate is anticipated to be 15%.
