A call is right when the stock rose after an in call or fell after an out call. Trend plays are built to take many small losses for a few big wins, so their hit rates run lower; being right often isn't the same as making the most money. How we test a play.

T, day by day

How to read candlesticks

Each candle is one trading day: the box spans the open and close, the thin line the day's high and low. Hollow boxes closed up, filled boxes closed down. Toggle the averages to see the trend the plays read. Dots above the candles mark news and company filings: hover or tap one to see the story and how the stock moved from the last close before it, against the market on the same days.

What moved T lately

Its 2 biggest moves against the S&P/TSX in the last 30 sessions, the news read on each, and how reliably that kind of news has moved stocks before. How it's measured

Fri Oct 9−5.0% against the S&P/TSX2.3× a normal day

T −3.5%, the S&P/TSX +1.5% that session.

HeadlineMarketWatch · Oct 8, 4:34 pm ET
TELUS Corp. stock rises Thursday, outperforms market
HeadlineMarketWatch · Oct 9, 4:34 pm ETafter that close
TELUS Corp. stock falls Friday, underperforms market

Wed Sep 30+3.9% against the S&P/TSX2.0× a normal day

T +3.3%, the S&P/TSX −0.6% that session; −3.8% against the S&P/TSX over five sessions.

No earnings report, rating change, 8-K filing or news story on T was found for this session. Be The Puck's headline archive for T starts Oct 1, so news stories from that day aren't in it. The S&P/TSX moved −0.6%. The 9 other Media & telecom stocks Be The Puck covers moved +0.9% on average, so most of the move was its own.

Next earnings report

Fri Nov 6, 2026 before the open

From Yahoo Finance's calendar; dates can move. Analysts expect earnings per share of 0.17.

Over its last 12 reports, T's typical move against the S&P/TSX at the first close after the report was ±2.6% (median size, either way); it finished ahead of the index 8 times.
T after beats of 5% or more: ahead of its index at the first close after the report 7 of 10 times (median +1.3%).
T after misses of any size: behind its index at the first close after the report 12 of 23 times (median −0.1%).
Across all covered stocks, beats of 5% or more were followed by a gain against the index 64% of the time and misses by a drop 62% of the time.

Whether a report beats is only known once it is out, so these say how the stock has reacted, not which way it will go.

A crash marks every stock down; debt decides which companies come through. The storm test scores both halves: how hard the stock swings with the market, and how much debt it carries into a downturn. It describes fragility; it does not predict a crash.

The business behind the price

How to judge these numbers

Telecom Services · TELUS Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, operates as a telecommunications company in Canada and internationally. It operates through TELUS Technology Solutions, TELUS Health, and TELUS Digital Experience segments.

Size and valuation
Market cap	C$17.9B	What the whole company is worth at today's price: share price × shares outstanding.
Revenue (last 12 months)	C$20.2B	Total sales. The market values it at 0.9× sales.
P/E ratio	n/a	Lost money over the last year, so there is no profit to divide by.
Forward P/E	15.0×	Price against analysts' estimate of next year's profit.
Price to book	1.3×	Price against the company's net assets (its equity) per share.

Profit and growth
Profit margin	−4.5%	Spends more than it brings in.
Revenue growth	−2.2%	Last quarter's sales against the same quarter a year earlier.
Return on equity	−6.4%	Yearly profit as a share of shareholders' money in the business.
Free cash flow	C$2.4B	Cash left after running and investing in the business.

Balance sheet
Total equity	C$15.8B	What it owns minus what it owes.
Total debt	C$31.5B	Loans and bonds it has to pay back, with interest.
Cash	C$1.4B	Cash and short-term investments on hand.
Debt to equity	2.00×	Above about 1.5× is heavily borrowed; above 3× is fragile in a downturn.
Interest cover	1.8×	Operating profit divided by interest. Under 2× means one bad year could make the interest hard to pay.

Wall Street
Average analyst target	C$14.06	24% above the close, from 18 analysts (range C$11.50 to C$17.00).
Consensus rating	Hold	Analysts' average recommendation. Ratings lean positive: sell ratings are rare.
Dividend yield	13.08%	Yearly dividends as a share of the price.
