Leading the Canadian Telecommunications Landscape

Rogers Communications Inc. stands as a prominent Canadian communications and media company, primarily operating in wireless communications, cable television, telephony and Internet services, with significant telecommunications and mass media assets.

Recent Financial Performance and Strategic Moves

The second quarter of 2025 has shown remarkable results for Rogers, with strong financial performance across Wireless, Cable, and Media divisions. According to Tony Staffieri, President and CEO, the company has taken significant steps to enhance shareholder value by accelerating balance sheet deleveraging and making transformational investments in world-class sports assets.

Technological Innovation and Market Leadership

In a groundbreaking development, July 2025 saw Rogers become the first Canadian wireless provider to launch satellite-to-mobile text messaging service.
