Cogeco scaling up wireless service as it reports higher Q2 profit

MONTREAL - Cogeco Inc. says it continues to scale up its nascent wireless service in Canada while seeking to fly under the radar of recent price wars between the industry's major players.

Chief executive Frédéric Perron says the company's mobile service, which launched last summer, is being targeted toward lower-data users, which shields it from some competitive pressures associated with large bundle offers.

The Montreal-based telecommunications company is offering the service to existing wireline customers across its broadband footprint in Ontario and Quebec.

Cogeco reported a $79.8 million profit during its second quarter, rising about four per cent from $76.6 million last year. 

Cogeco's revenue came in at $713 million for the period ended Feb. 28, falling more than five per cent year-over-year from $753.2 million. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 10, 2026.
