About BCE
BCE is one of Canada's "Big 3" telecom service providers, offering wireless and broadband services nationally, but with strongholds in Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. The firm serves 10 million postpaid and nearly 1 million prepaid wireless customers, and 5 million broadband customers across a footprint reaching about 13 million homes. The firm purchased Ziply Fiber in 2025, expanding its reach to the Pacific Northwest of the US. Outside of its wireless and wireline services, BCE operates a media segment containing multiple broadcast television channels, regional radio stations, and a digital media platform. The firm completed its divestiture of its 37.5% share of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment to Rogers in 2025, retaining its minority position in the Montreal Canadiens.

What the Analysts think about BCE

Analyst projections of the future price of BCE stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Fibre is driving subscriber and revenue growth: BCE added nearly 55,000 residential fibre customers in Q2, lifting Internet revenue by 14.2%. Wireless postpaid churn also improved to a three-year low of 1.02%. (SEC)
Bell Media showed growth in Q2: revenue rose 8.9% and Crave subscriptions increased 23% to 5.1 million. This suggests its digital service is growing, even as traditional broadcasting faces pressure. (The Globe and Mail)
Higher investment is weighing on cash generation: Q2 free cash flow fell 9.5% as capital spending rose 41.5%. This leaves less cash for debt reduction and dividends while BCE builds its AI data centres and Ziply fibre network. (SEC)
Regulatory changes are already adding pressure to Canadian telecom economics: BCE cited retroactive wholesale-rate adjustments and lower connection-fee revenue after CRTC rules. Such measures could constrain returns on its networks and future pricing. (SEC)
Wireless revenue quality remains a concern: BCE’s mobile phone revenue per user fell 2.3% year over year in Q2, while postpaid net additions were lower than a year earlier. Reduced promotions and slower population growth also limit customer growth. (BNN Bloomberg)
