Rogers Communications

Rogers Communications is the largest wireless service provider in Canada, with its more than 11 million subscribers equating to one third of the total Canadian market. Its wireless business accounted for more than half of total revenue and has increasingly been providing a bigger portion of total company sales over the last several years. Rogers' cable segment, which provides about 35% of total revenue after acquiring Shaw, offers home internet, television, and landline phone service to consumers and businesses. Remaining sales come from Rogers' media unit, which owns and operates various television and radio stations and the Toronto Blue Jays. Rogers' significant exposure to sports also includes ownership stakes in the Toronto Maple Leafs, Raptors, FC, and Argonauts.

Shares of companies within the broader communication services sector are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

These past three months were not what U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mergers-and-acquisitions">dealmakers wanted or expected</a>.
As of April 3, transaction tracker Dealogic showed zero percent growth in U.S.-based M&amp;A volume compared to last year&#8217;s first quarter.
Elsewhere? Volume is spiking triple digits.
<ul>
<li>The Middle East and Africa combined are seeing 123% growth in M&amp;A.</li>
<li>Japan: 105%</li>
<li>Asia: 103%</li>
</ul>
Deal volume is also up in Canada, Europe and Australia. Only in Latin America is it in the red, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/03/44342234/deal-dispatch-trump-ma-boom-is-a-bust-purple-mattress-considers-sale-celtics-auction-heats-up">barely a peep</a> coming from the U.S.
For those keeping track of who correctly predicted this downtrend, don&#8217;t look to Bank of America. After Election Day, the firm&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates">analysts boldly predicted</a> that the then-incoming Trump administration would remove Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan and, presto, the antitrust roadblocks for M&amp;A activity would be removed.
Those analysts were wrong. Just 10 days after Trump&#8217;s inauguration, the U.S. Department of Justice <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/43353124/hewlett-packard-enterprise-shares-fall-as-us-department-of-justice-sues-to-block-juniper-acquisition">sued to block</a> Hewlett Packard Enterprise&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) $14 billion deal to acquire networking gear maker Juniper Networks. In March, Surmodics, Inc.

Those BofA analysts also forgot that the previous Trump administration was not particularly lenient regarding consolidation. AT&amp;T and Time Warner; Sinclair and Tribune Media; Broadcom and Qualcomm; DraftKings and FanDuel — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/25/03/44202239/deal-dispatch-tiktok-walgreens-raizen">all blocked</a>.
On the shiny side, gold-related M&amp;A deals have increased, but transaction sizes are much smaller, Benzinga&#8217;s Stjepan Kalinic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/03/44490949/gold-ma-deals-are-accelerating-but-average-deals-are-smaller-research-shows">wrote this week</a>.

Deal Dispatch: US M&A Is Quiet, But Abroad? Volume Is Spiking

Rogers Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCI#NYSE">RCI</a>) said on Friday it has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44643877/rogers-concludes-definitive-agreement-for-cdn-7-billion-equity-investment" rel="noreferrer noopener">entered into an agreement to receive a 7 billion</a> Canadian dollars (~$5 billion) equity investment from funds managed by Blackstone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), supported by several Canadian institutional investors.
The deal gives Blackstone a minority stake in a newly formed Rogers subsidiary tied to a portion of its wireless infrastructure.
Blackstone is&nbsp;backed by Canadian institutional investors, including CPP Investments, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, PSP Investments, and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation.
Blackstone will hold a 49.9% equity&nbsp;interest in the new entity, while Rogers retains 50.1% and full operational control.

&#8220;This transaction will strengthen the company&#8217;s investment grade balance sheet by reducing our borrowings and unlocking the unrecognized value of critical assets,&#8221; said Rogers CEO Glenn Brandt.
&#8220;With this transaction, Rogers will have issued an aggregate $9 billion of equity-valued capital since year-end, which is expected to reduce leverage by almost 1 turn.&#8221;
The newly formed entity will hold a partial interest in Rogers&#8217; wireless backhaul transport infrastructure, with a structure allowing Rogers to buy back Blackstone&#8217;s stake between the eighth and twelfth years following the deal&#8217;s closure. Blackstone will maintain a 20% voting right in the subsidiary.
The investment is expected to yield annual distributions of up to C$400 million to Blackstone during the first five years. Rogers&#8217; average capital cost for the deal through the repurchase period is projected to be approximately 7% annually.
The investment will be recorded as equity in Rogers&#8217; financial statements and is likely to be classified similarly by major credit rating agencies, including Moody&#8217;s, S&amp;P Global Ratings, and DBRS Limited.
Rogers intends to use the transaction net proceeds to repay debt. The deal&#8217;s completion is targeted for the second quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
Price Action: RCI shares traded higher by 1.65% at $26.50 in premarket at last check Friday.

Rogers Communications Inks C$7B Deal With Blackstone, CPP And Others for 49.9% Stake In New Wireless Subsidiary

President Donald Trump's plan to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock">impose reciprocal tariffs</a> on foreign imports sent markets lower on Thursday.
Canada was spared from additional tariffs during Wednesday's announcement, but has been a favorite Trump target. Canada's economy could be hurt by tariffs, which could be a problem for American sports leagues, specifically the National Hockey League.
What Happened: A Canadian NHL team has not won the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38356595/canadas-30-year-stanley-cup-drought-can-streak-end-in-2024-betting-odds-and-the-public-us-">Stanley Cup since 1993</a>. While that drought continues to be a key fact on the minds of the seven Canadian NHL teams, they may have bigger problems at hand.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman was <a href="https://globalnews.ca/video/11112948/nhl-has-concerns-over-trumps-tariffs-hopes-canada-us-tensions-just-a-moment-in-time/">asked </a>about Trump's latest tariffs and the potential impact on the NHL this week when highlighting a new Canadian media rights deal with Rogers Communications (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCI#NYSE">RCI</a>).
Bettman said he doesn't want to weigh in on politics and hopes that people use sports as an escape from negative headlines. Although, he acknowledged that the situation could still have meaningful implications.
"I hope what we're seeing is a moment in time and things can get back to a normal reality," Bettman said. "I have concerns from a business standpoint for the league that if the Canadian economy suffers by what's going on that will impact the way we do business."
Bettman&#8217;s latest comments follow a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/05/nhl-commissioner-gary-bettman-us-canada-tariffs.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNBC </a>interview last week in which he said 25% of the NHL's league revenue comes from the seven Canadian teams. He also mentioned that the salaries are paid in US dollars.
"So if the impact of the tariffs is to see the Canadian dollar drop relative to the U.S. dollar, it will make it more difficult and more painful."
At the time, Bettman said Canadians and Americans were likely getting "caught in the middle" of a policy issue.

Why It's Important: The NHL's seven Canadian teams are the Calgary Flames, Ottawa Senators, Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets.
The Maple Leafs are partially owned by two public telecommunications companies. Rogers owns 37.5% of the team, and Bell Canada (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCE#NYSE">BCE</a>) also owns 37.5% of the team. The ownership comes via the Maple Leaf Sports &amp; Entertainment parent company. MLSE also owns the National Basketball Association team, the Toronto Raptors, and other sports assets. Rogers owns the Major League Baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays.
Hockey equipment and jerseys are also made in Canada and could be subject to tariffs, increasing costs for the league as it nears the end of its regular season.
In other American sports leagues, Canada is less involved. In the NBA it's one Canadian team (Raptors) and the same for MLB (Blue Jays). The NHL will be much more impacted by tariffs on Canada and the country's economy going forward.
As a trade war potentially escalates, fans can also get more partial against certain teams, as was evidenced with booing of national anthems when Canada and the United States played each other in the Four Nations Tournament earlier this year.
Price Action: Rogers Communications stock hit a new 52-week low of $24.76 earlier this week. The stock has traded between $24.76 and $41.84 over the last year, with shares down 15.2% year-to-date in 2025 and down 34.9% over the last year.

For the full year 2024, Rogers now expects annual consolidated service revenue growth just over 7%, compared to its guidance range of 8% &#8211; 10% issued in February of 2024, driven by weakness in media revenue during the fourth quarter. All other guidance items remain unchanged.
Tony Staffieri, President and CEO of Rogers, acknowledged the softness in media revenue for the fourth quarter but emphasized the company&#8217;s strong performance throughout the year.
