Is Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B) Undervalued After Its Recent Share Price Outperformance?

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B) has quietly outperformed the broader Canadian telecom space this year, and that strength has some investors revisiting whether the recent pullback is a chance to add or trim.

See our latest analysis for Rogers Communications.

At around CA$50.69, Rogers’ year to date share price return of roughly 15.8% points to steady, if moderating, momentum, while the 1 year total shareholder return of about 9.6% shows gains that look respectable but not spectacular.

If this kind of steady compounder appeals to you, it might also be worth seeing what else is out there by exploring fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With earnings under pressure but the share price still climbing and analysts seeing further upside, the real question is whether Rogers is quietly undervalued or if the market is already pricing in its next leg of growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 14.1% Undervalued

With Rogers Communications last closing at CA$50.69 against a narrative fair value of about CA$59.04, the implied upside hinges on sustained earnings and margin improvement.

The continued deployment and expansion of 5G and Wi Fi 7 infrastructure, along with the introduction of advanced services like fixed wireless internet and bundled offerings, allows Rogers to capitalize on increasing mobile data consumption and connected device proliferation, supporting both subscriber additions and higher margins in future periods.
