BCE reports Q3 profit down from year ago, revenue edged higher
BCE Inc. announced its third-quarter profit for the period ending September 30, 2026, was $630 million, a decrease from the previous year. Operating revenue increased by 2.2% compared to the same period last year, reaching $6.18 billion. The company's profit per share was 67 cents, down from 79 cents in the same quarter a year ago.
This decline was attributed to the company selling its minority stake in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd. Additionally, BCE recently announced a deal to sell a 49.9% stake in its wireless tower company to Quebec investment manager La Caisse for $2.45 billion.
