Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (9 years of history).
The filed history looks like a business competitors struggle to attack: high and steady margins, revenue that grows through cycles, and strong returns on capital.
45.4% average over the last 3 years
±2.6 pts around 42.1% across 9 years
grew in 6 of the last 8 year-over-year periods

A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what RCI's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. RCI trades near $34.53, below its 50-day average ($36.47) and 200-day average ($37.04). Price below both averages is a downtrend — momentum is against buyers for now.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 17 it is oversold — selling has been heavy and a bounce is possible.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. RCI's is $1.05 (~3.0% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month RCI found buyers near $31.38 (support) and sellers near $39.23 (resistance); its 52-week range is $31.27–$41.14. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.7× the 20-day average — lighter than usual, so the move carries less conviction. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

$1.60B
FCF Margin

In the latest year Rogers Communications Inc produced about $4.42B of operating cash flow and $1.60B of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 28.1% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

RCI trades at 3.5x trailing earnings (about 2.5x on estimated forward earnings), 1.1x sales, and 1.6x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly 0.0% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is an undemanding multiple — potentially cheap if the business is stable.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for RCI:
- High net margins (31.7%) point to pricing power or efficiency.
- Strong return on equity (44.1%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~28.1%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- Pays a 4.4% dividend on top of any price gains.
- Our model's overall read is Strong (72/100).
The case against RCI:
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 2.5x) adds financial risk.
- Like any single stock, it is exposed to competition, the economic cycle, and shifts in its end markets.
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 2.5x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the fundamentals screen favourably: Rogers Communications Inc is a large-cap communication services business growing at a mature pace, with solid profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 3.5x earnings, which our model scores Strong (72/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
