Analyst removes ‘sell’ rating from Rogers, says challenge from Videotron overblown
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – With Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B) stock down nearly 15 per cent in the past six months — making it the worst performer among its Canadian peers — at least one analyst says the market seems to have factored in problems facing the Toronto-based company and overblown the potential for Videotron to challenge its wireless business.
CanaccordGenuity analyst Dvai Ghose has replaced its “sell” rating on Rogers with a “hold” but is maintaining his price target for the company at $41 per share. Telus (TSX:T) remains his top pick in the sector.

By comparison, shares of comparable Canadian companies are either flat or up over the same period.
