BCE reports $594M Q4 profit attributable to shareholders, Crave subscriptions up 26%

BCE Inc. reported a fourth-quarter profit attributable to common shareholders of $594 million as its revenue edged lower compared with a year ago. The company says the profit amounted to 64 cents per share for the quarter, compared with a profit of $461 million or 51 cents per share a year earlier.

Operating revenue totalled $6.40 billion, down from $6.42 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. On an adjusted basis, BCE says it earned 69 cents per share in its latest quarter compared with an adjusted profit of 79 cents per share a year earlier. Analysts on average had expected an adjusted profit of 63 cents per share, according to data compiled by LSEG Data & Analytics.

The company reported 56,124 net postpaid wireless additions last quarter, down 0.8% from 56,550 a year ago. BCE cited a less active market, slowing population growth due to changing immigration policies and a focus on higher-value subscribers as reasons for the dip.

Customer churn—a measure of subscribers who cancelled their service—was 1.49%, the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement. BCE’s mobile phone average revenue per user was $56.72 in the quarter, down 0.8% from a year ago. It said the decrease was due to “ongoing but abating” competitive pricing pressures and greater discounting, lower data overage revenue from customers subscribing to unlimited or larger capacity data plans, and lower roaming revenue amid Canadian customers’ decreased travel to the United States and adoption of Canada-U.S.-Mexico-International plans.

BCE says subscriptions to its Crave streaming service rose 26% in the fourth quarter to 4.6 million as its “Heated Rivalry” original series debuted in November.

The telecom company said its 2026 guidance is consistent with the three-year financial outlook shared last year, adding that it’s on track to hit its financial targets by 2028. 

BCE said it’s expecting revenue growth of one to five% year-over-year for 2026. Desjardins analyst Jerome Dubreuil said this year’s outlook “came in modestly below expectations, particularly given management’s stated assumption of improving wireless pricing this year.”
