Telus up 0.90% as Optik TV expands

Highlights

TELUS has expanded Optik TV into Montreal, Quebec City, and major Ontario markets, enabling broader customer reach and bundling opportunities.
A new $15 SIM card fee, implemented before upcoming CRTC regulations, will provide TELUS with a temporary boost in revenue and may affect subscriber dynamics.
T/CAD is likely to consolidate between C$16.40 and C$17.16, as technicals show weak trend conviction and heightened risk of downside.

Customer base grows as bundled offerings boost demand

TELUS has expanded its Optik TV service into Montreal, Quebec City, and major Ontario markets, introducing customizable TV packages that combine traditional channels with major streaming services. This move broadens TELUS's addressable customer base and deepens its bundled product strategy, supporting demand for its core telecom offerings. Additionally, the company has begun charging a mandatory one-time $15 SIM card fee prior to the enforcement of new CRTC regulations, which could provide a short-term revenue lift and influence subscriber behavior.

Mixed momentum persists as resistance and signals diverge

T is trading above the MA-20 at C$16.70 but remains below the MA-50 (C$16.92) and the MA-200 (C$18.99). The Ichimoku Kijun level at C$16.80 presents immediate resistance. MACD continues to register a strong sell, while ADX is neutral, indicating weak trend conviction. RSI is at 49.98 with a sell signal, and Stoch RSI reflects overbought conditions. CCI is neutral, BBP shows buyer pressure intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator is neutral. This combination of technicals shows mixed short-term momentum with prices near today's high but limited evidence of clear directional conviction.

Consolidation favored as upside probability remains limited

Over the next several sessions, T is expected to trade in a range between C$16.40 and C$17.16. Probability of upward movement is 37%, while the chance of a decline is higher. The baseline outlook calls for consolidation within this typical volatility band. Should price break above resistance near C$16.80, further gains are possible. Conversely, a drop below support could accelerate downside movement to the lower end of the projected range.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Telus’s latest Optik TV expansion as a strong positive for core operations and sentiment. He believes that capturing new markets and bundling innovations support growth, even as short-term price action remains mixed. Technicals point to resistance at C$16.80, but structural demand drivers are gaining traction. "If Telus can sustain its current momentum and break above resistance, I expect the stock to outperform in the coming weeks."

Earlier, analysts noted that TELUS shares remained under pressure, citing sustained technical weakness alongside regulatory and competitive headwinds. While the latest developments introduce new product expansion and a possible short-term revenue boost, investors should watch for a sustained move above the C$16.80 resistance as confirmation of any potential trend reversal.
