TELUS Corporation announced a 55% cut to its quarterly dividend, lowering the annual payout to $0.75 per share to save approximately $2.7 billion through 2028, prioritizing debt reduction and financial stability. The company also plans to remove the dividend reinvestment plan discount by October 2026 and revised its 2026 financial outlook to reflect challenges like competitive pricing and slower growth in some segments. TELUS outlined three strategic priorities: strengthening its financial foundation, improving operational discipline, and focusing investments on profitable growth areas such as wireless and fiber networks. The company targets reducing its net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio to 3.0-times or lower by the end of 2028, supported by free cash flow growth, disciplined capital spending, and asset sales.
