Macquarie upgraded Rogers Communications to Outperform ahead of Q3 results on Thursday. Analyst Greg MacDonald does not necessarily expect the report to be a catalyst for shares given the recent share rally but believes FCFPS is set to grow at higher relative rates as core cable capex has peaked and EBITDA wireless growth is set to resume. MacDonald believes cable companies are positioned for higher ROIC versus telcos as broadband becomes a key selling feature for wireline services.
