Compara el último trimestre con el trimestre inmediatamente anterior para mostrar cambios de impulso a corto plazo. |
|---|---|---|---|
| IngresosEl dinero total que entró por la puerta principal al vender cosas, antes de pagar una sola factura. Piensa en esto como el gran total de cada compra con tarjeta de los clientes. (YoY compara el rendimiento de este año con el del año pasado, mientras que QoQ compara los tres meses actuales con los tres anteriores). | $24.5B | +0.2% | -0.1% |
| Beneficio netoEl resultado final absoluto. Si la empresa pagara a cada proveedor, empleado, banquero y recaudador de impuestos, este es el dinero real que queda en su bolsillo al final del día. | $6.5B | +1777.9% | -8.8% |
| Margen brutoEl margen básico. Si venden unas zapatillas de 100 dólares, este porcentaje indica cuánto de ese precio es ganancia justo después de pagar el caucho y los cordones, pero antes de pagar el alquiler de la tienda o los anuncios de televisión. | +68.4% | +0.0% | +2.8% |
| Margen operativoLa puntuación de eficiencia del 'trabajo diario'. De cada dólar que gasta un cliente, esto muestra cuántos centavos mantiene la empresa después de fabricar el producto Y pagar todos los gastos generales corporativos (como salarios, marketing y mantener las luces encendidas). | +22.2% | -2.5% | +3.9% |
| Margen netoEl porcentaje final que se lleva a casa. Cuando se eliminan todos los costos concebibles, impuestos y pagos de intereses, este es el número exacto de centavos que la empresa realmente se queda de cada dólar en ventas. | +26.4% | +1773.4% | -8.7% |
| Flujo de caja libreEl santo grial del efectivo corporativo. Es el dinero físico gastable que queda después de que el negocio paga sus operaciones diarias Y compra las actualizaciones grandes y costosas (como nuevas fábricas o servidores) que necesita para sobrevivir. Este es el dinero 'libre' que pueden usar para pagar dividendos o recomprar acciones. | $3.3B | +28.6% | +250.5% |
| Margen FCFLa tasa definitiva de conversión de efectivo. Muestra qué tan buena es la empresa para convertir ventas regulares directamente en efectivo frío, duro y gastable. Un porcentaje alto significa que el negocio es una auténtica máquina de imprimir dinero. | +13.5% | +28.3% | +250.8% |
| Deuda/PatrimonioEl indicador de riesgo financiero. Compara cuánto del imperio de la empresa se construyó con dinero prestado (préstamos) frente al dinero propio de los propietarios (accionistas). Un número alto significa que están muy apalancados y juegan un juego más arriesgado; un número bajo significa que juegan a lo seguro. | 178.4% | -20.5% | -4.8% |
| Ratio corrienteLa verificación de supervivencia de 12 meses. Simplemente compara el efectivo que tienen ahora mismo (más cosas que pueden convertirse rápidamente en efectivo) con las facturas inmediatas que absolutamente deben pagar este año. Una puntuación superior a 1 significa que tienen suficiente en la billetera para cubrir las próximas facturas sin entrar en pánico. | 0.58x | -4.1% | -2.2% |

Operator: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the BCE Q2 2026 Results Conference Call. I would now like to turn the meeting over to Kris Somers. Please go ahead, Mr. Somers. Krishna Somers: Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our call. With me here today are Mirko Bibic, BCE's President and CEO; and our CFO, Curtis Millen. You can find all our Q2 disclosure documents on the Investor Relations page of the bce.ca website, which we posted earlier this morning. Before we begin, I'd like to draw your attention to our safe harbor statement on Slide 2, reminding you that today's slide presentation and remarks made during the call will include forward-looking information, and therefore, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Results could differ materially. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Please refer to our publicly filed documents for more details on assumptions and risks. With that out of the way, I'll turn the call over to Mirko. Mirko Bibic: Thank you, Kris, and good morning to all. Our Q2 results show continued execution against the strategy we laid out at Investor Day last year. Consolidated revenue increased 1.5%, adjusted EBITDA grew 1%, and we generated more than $1 billion of free cash flow in the quarter. We also reduced our net debt leverage ratio to approximately 3.7x while continuing to invest in the growth platforms that will shape BCE's long-term profile. The quarter also reflects progress across a number of key areas. Wireless trends improved with pricing better reflecting the value we offer customers, postpaid churn reaching its lowest quarterly level in 3 years and improved product margins. Fiber continued to drive Internet growth across Canada and the U.S. Bell AI Fabric continued to build momentum, and Bell Media delivered a strong quarter, supported by FIFA World Cup performance and continued growth at Crave. This is exactly how we said we would run the company, disciplined execution in the core business, focused investment in higher growth opportunities and a clear path to sustainable free cash flow growth. In fact, we've led the industry for the past couple of years in bringing down Canadian telecom capital spending in the face of unfavorable regulatory decisions, while at the same time, redirecting that capital toward AI fabric and U.S. fiber. I'll start on Slide 3 with our progress against the 4 strategic priorities we outlined last year. Putting the customer first remains foundational. In Q2, the customer experience and retention initiatives we've executed over the past year and even before that continue to pay off. Postpaid churn improved 4 basis points year-over-year to 1.02%, which is the lowest quarterly level in 3 years. And in a lower growth market, that matters. We also launched our always-on Internet solutions, wireless Internet backup and power backup. These are practical solutions that help customers stay connected when …

BCE looks cheap at 6.0X EV/EBITDA, but leverage, a 2026 EPS reset and heavy AI and fiber spending keep execution risk in focus.

BCE's 10.2% monthly rally gets support from Q2 revenue and EPS growth, but heavy spending, leverage and falling estimates keep the outlook cautious.

BCE enters its heaviest AI spending phase with 335 MW contracted, as surging capex pressures 2026 cash flow ahead of expected 2027 revenue.

BCE NYSE: BCE reported second-quarter 2026 revenue growth of 1.5%, adjusted EBITDA growth of 1%, and more than C$1 billion in free cash flow, as the telecommunications company continued investing in U.S. fiber expansion and AI data-center infrastructure.

BCE's Q2 earnings and revenue rose as Ziply Fiber, Bell Media and AI services offset weaker product sales and higher investment spending.
