Rogers Communications is scheduled to report its earnings for the fourth quarter Thursday morning. Here is what you need to know.

REVENUE: Analysts expect revenue to rise to 6.02 billion Canadian dollars ($4.43 billion), up from with C$5.48 billion a year earlier, according to FactSet.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: On a per-share basis, analysts expect earnings of C$1.15, up from C$1.02 last year.

ADJUSTED EPS: Excluding exceptional items and one-off costs, analysts peg adjusted earnings at C$1.40 a share.

In the quarter, the stock rose 8.1% and recently traded at C$49.42.

WHAT TO WATCH

--Investors will keep an eye on guidance for adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, for which the company may learn more on the conservative side, says TD Cowen analyst Vince Valentini. He says the likely range will be between 0% and 3%. However, a best-cast scenario would be 1% to 4%, he says.

--Rogers's sports-teams contributions may be higher thanks to the Toronto Blue Jays' playoff rankings. Valentini says a strong fourth-quarter beat may make for a tough comparison in 2026.

--Investors will be keen to know how Rogers expects wireless performance to play out. The analyst expects Ebitda growth of 2.8% in 2026, but notes this may be hard to achieve if wireless competition remains stable. "We suspect that these estimates will be at the high end of management guidance, but still achievable as long as wireless industry pricing stays somewhat disciplined," Valentini says.
