Read MoreHide Full Article
For the quarter ended December 2023, Telus (TU - Free Report) reported revenue of $3.82 billion, up 2.5% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $0.18, compared to $0.17 in the year-ago quarter.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of -2.15% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.9 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $0.17, the EPS surprise was +5.88%.
