Rogers Communications’ second-quarter subscriber additions beat on steady demand

Canada’s Rogers Communications beat analysts’ estimates for quarterly wireless subscriber additions on Wednesday, helped by steady demand for its mobile plans.

The company added 112,000 monthly bill-paying wireless phone subscribers in the second quarter, compared with estimates of 110,450, according to Visible Alpha.

Canada has been seeing a steady rise in immigration as it welcomes more people in a bid to grow its population and boost economy – increasing demand for Rogers’ plans aimed at newcomers.
