BCE is scheduled to report the conference call at 8:00am. Following the extensive disclosures on Investor Day, we believe the focus will be on near-term trends, especially retail internet revenue growth and pricing dynamics; and in wireless, churn and commentary around ARPU expectations. On the call, we will be looking for commentary around additional asset divestitures. Alongside this note, we have introduced our extended model adding detailed F27 and F28 estimates. We maintain our HOLD rating and increase our target to C$34.00 (from C$32.00). Headline expectations: We expect BCE to report a positive 0.8% adj. EBITDA increase (y/y) to $2,745M (cons. $2,736M) in Q3, supported by the consolidation of Ziply. Ex- Ziply, organic growth is -1.8% y/y.
Analysts Offer Insights on Communication Services Companies: HKT and HKT (Other OTC: HKTTF) and BCE (NYSE: BCE)We reiterate our Underperform rating following BCE’s investor day and medium-term guidance centered on its core businesses. We believe once BCE establishes a track record of delivering on mid-term objectives investor sentiment could improve but near- term growth remains challenging. Our estimate changes are shown in Exhibit 1 which include lower mid-term EBITDA and FCF.
