Stars
5G Wireless Data Services
As of late 2025 Rogers Communications holds roughly 36–38% of Canadian wireless subscribers after full Shaw integration, making it the market leader in postpaid and IoT segments.
Rapid migration to 5G and 5G+ plans lifted ARPU about 8% year-over-year in 2024–25 and pushed mobile data traffic up ~60% YoY, driving strong service revenue growth.
The segment generates substantial free cash flow—wireless operating cash flow about CAD 4.5–5.0 billion in FY2024—but heavy capex for densification and spectrum (CAD ~2.2–2.8 billion annual) keeps it classified as a Star.
Enterprise IoT Solutions
Rogers’ Enterprise IoT Solutions sits in Stars: the division grew ~25% YoY in 2024, driven by smart city contracts and fleet telematics, contributing roughly CA$220M revenue that year. Continued capex—estimated CA$80–100M annually—will be needed to keep pace with global players like Ericsson and domestic rivals, while Canadian industrial digitization suggests sustained high double-digit CAGR through 2026.
Private 5G Network Deployments
Demand for private 5G in mining, manufacturing, and healthcare surged 42% CAGR through 2025, reaching ~US$6.4B globally in 2025; Rogers captured an estimated 18% of Canadian contracts by revenue thanks to its spectrum assets.
These deals yield gross margins near 40% and multi-year ARPU of C$1.2–2.5M per customer, but require specialized sales and field engineers, raising opex per deal by ~25%.
Given size and margins, Rogers positions private 5G as a star in its BCG matrix—high growth, significant market share, and a primary future growth engine.
Ignite Streaming Video and Entertainment
Ignite Streaming Video and Entertainment is a Stars asset for Rogers Communications, having grown into a hub that aggregates Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and Rogers’ own originals; Ignite TV reached ~1.2M active streaming households in FY2024, contributing to Rogers’ 38% share of Canadian pay-TV/home entertainment revenue as of Q4 2024.
High content acquisition and platform capex keep this segment high-growth but cash-intensive; Rogers spent C$430M on video content and platform investment in FY2024, so continued funding is required to compete with agile OTT rivals like Crave and Netflix.
- 1. 1.2M active Ignite streaming households (FY2024)
- 2. 38% Rogers share of Canadian home entertainment revenue (Q4 2024)
- 3. C$430M video content/platform spend (FY2024)
Bundled Residential Fiber Expansion
Post-Shaw merger, Rogers has ramped FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) in Western Canada, adding about 400k passings in 2024 and taking share from legacy DSL, lifting broadband ARPU by ~8% to C$62 in FY2024.
Demand for symmetrical gigabit speeds for remote work and gaming keeps segment growth high—Rogers reports retail fiber net additions of ~180k in 2024, growth >20% YoY.
High capex for physical builds (~C$1.2–1.5bn annual network investment in 2024) means strong revenue but neutral net cash flow as investments offset operating cash inflows.
- ~400k FTTH passings added in 2024
- Retail fiber net adds ~180k (2024)
- Broadband ARPU ~C$62 (FY2024)
- Annual capex C$1.2–1.5bn (2024)
Rogers’ growth engines: wireless, private 5G, Ignite, FTTH — high share, capex-heavy
Rogers’ Stars: wireless (36–38% share post-Shaw), 5G/private networks (18% Canadian private 5G share), Ignite streaming (1.2M households) and FTTH (400k passings) —all high-growth, high-share but capex-heavy (wireless OCF C$4.5–5.0B, capex C$2.2–2.8B; video spend C$430M; fiber capex C$1.2–1.5B).
| Asset | Metric (2024–25) |
|---|---|
| Wireless | 36–38% share; OCF C$4.5–5.0B; capex C$2.2–2.8B |
| Private 5G | 18% Canada; gross margin ~40% |

Cash Cows
Legacy Postpaid Wireless Voice
The core postpaid mobile subscriber base at Rogers Communications (RCI) remains the primary engine of reliable cash flow, supporting roughly 9.5 million postpaid connections as of Q4 2025 and ~40% of consolidated revenue.
With Canada’s mobile market mature and saturated, annual service revenue growth is low (<2% CAGR 2022–2025) but gross margins exceed 60%, yielding steady free cash flow.
This high-margin legacy postpaid segment funds dividends (2025 yield ~4.3%) and interest on net debt of C$18.2B after major 2019–2022 network investments.
High-Speed Cable Internet
Rogers holds ~40% market share in major Canadian urban markets (Rogers Communications Inc., 2024), where HFC cable infrastructure is fully depreciated and capex per customer is minimal.
High-speed cable delivers steady, high-margin monthly recurring revenue—estimated EBITDA margins ~45% in 2024—requiring little new marketing spend.
These cash flows funded ~CAD 1.2B in 2024 investment toward fiber rollout, subsidizing next-gen FTTH expansion elsewhere.
Sports Broadcasting and Blue Jays
Rogers’ ownership of the Toronto Blue Jays and Sportsnet gives it a dominant position in Canadian sports media, delivering roughly CAD 1.1B in annual sports-related revenue in 2023 and maintaining high market share for live MLB and NHL rights.
Linear TV is mature, but live sports commands premium ad rates (Sportsnet reported average CPMs ~30–40% above network norms in 2024) and subscription upsell, keeping EBITDA margins elevated.
These assets generated stable operating cash flow—about CAD 350M yearly—helping fund Rogers Media’s digital shift and offset declining linear ad volumes.
Traditional Business Wireline Services
Traditional wireline voice and data for SMEs delivers steady revenue—Rogers reported about CAD 1.2 billion in legacy business revenue in FY2024, with EBITDA margins near 40%, requiring minimal capex as the market is mature and low-growth.
Long-term contracts and high switching costs keep churn under 8% annually for business lines, making this a cash cow that funds Rogers’ 5G and media investments and supports free cash flow of roughly CAD 1.1 billion in 2024.
- Stable revenue: ~CAD 1.2B (2024)
- High EBITDA margin: ~40%
- Low churn: <8% annually
- Supports FCF: ~CAD 1.1B (2024)
Radio Broadcasting Portfolio
Rogers Communications’ radio broadcasting portfolio remains a cash cow: in 2024 Rogers Radio operated over 60 stations and held roughly 20–30% share in many local ad markets, generating about CAD 180–200 million annual EBITDA, supporting corporate cash flow while digital audio grows.
This mature segment needs low capex (estimated <5% of sales), so Rogers can extract steady free cash flow to offset volatile digital-media investments and fund spectrum and cable operations.
- ~60 stations nationwide
- CAD 180–200M estimated annual EBITDA (2024)
- Capex <5% of radio sales
- 20–30% local ad share in core markets
Rogers’ cash cows power CAD1.1B FCF and a ~4.3% 2025 dividend yield
Rogers’ cash cows are postpaid mobile (~9.5M subs, ~40% revenue, >60% gross margin), HFC cable broadband (EBITDA ~45% in 2024), legacy SME wireline (CAD 1.2B revenue, ~40% EBITDA, churn <8%) and radio (60 stations, CAD 180–200M EBITDA); together they funded ~CAD 1.1B FCF in 2024 and supported a 2025 dividend yield ~4.3%.
| Asset | Key 2024–25 metrics |
|---|---|
| Postpaid mobile | 9.5M subs; ~40% revenue; >60% gross margin |
| HFC cable | EBITDA ~45% |
| SME wireline | CAD 1.2B rev; ~40% EBITDA; churn <8% |
| Radio | 60 stations; CAD 180–200M EBITDA |
