Quebecor (TSE:QBR.A) reported higher first-quarter revenue, earnings and cash flow as wireless growth and improving wireline trends helped offset continued pressure in its media operations, executives said on the company’s 2026 first-quarter earnings call.
President and CEO Pierre Karl Péladeau said Quebecor is continuing to focus on “profitable growth” in wireless rather than matching aggressive promotional offers from larger competitors. On a consolidated basis, Quebecor reported revenue of CAD 1.4 billion, up CAD 52 million, or 4%, from a year earlier. EBITDA reached CAD 577 million, up CAD 27 million, or 5%. Excluding an unfavorable CAD 47 million increase in share-based compensation expense, EBITDA rose CAD 74 million, or 13%.
