In April 2026, Rogers announced 2026 capital expenditures of $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion (approximately 30% reduction versus 2025) and free cash flow guidance of $4.1 billion to $4.3 billion. The company is focusing on monetizing unrecognized value in sports assets while accelerating free cash flow generation and advancing deleveraging plans.

The company is generating strong free cash flow ($4.1B-$4.3B expected in 2026) and has credible deleveraging plans, but faces ongoing competitive pressures in mature Canadian telecom markets and integration challenges from legacy business lines.
