The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that Canadian telco stocks may be poised for a rebound after a two-year slump, as carriers start to stabilize wireless plan prices and make progress on debt reduction, analysts say. The Globe's Irene Galea writes that over the past few years, telecom providers have increased competition in what has become a slow-growing, mature market, driven in part by the lower priced plans offered by Quebecor's Freedom Mobile. However, plan prices at main and flanker brands -- lower-priced, secondary brands owned by the telcos -- have stabilized or even increased slightly in recent months, bucking the usual trend of discounting prices at the end of a financial quarter to boost subscriber numbers. While average wireless prices are still down from 2023, analysts say the shift could lead to improved earnings potential over time. Freedom Mobile, Rogers's Fido, BCE's Virgin Plus and Telus's Koodo all raised rates in recent weeks, according to Bank of Nova Scotia analyst Maher Yaghi. Still, the telecoms are earning less per customer than they have in previous years. Mr. Yaghi estimates that more than half of Canadian wireless subscribers have switched to cheaper plans in recent years.
