Highlights

Technical indicators point to continued bearish pressure, with price expected to trade between $31.76 and $33.78 and downside risk prevailing.

Net loss persists as revenue and dividend support investor sentiment

Rogers Communications Inc. recently released its second-quarter 2026 results, showing higher sales of CA$5,615 million alongside a net loss of CA$726 million. The increase in revenue indicates ongoing demand for the company's connectivity and media offerings, though the reported net loss points to persistent cost or expense pressures that could temper earnings prospects. In addition, the Board declared a CA$0.50 quarterly dividend payable in early October, offering yield continuity for shareholders even as financial results present a mixed picture.

Bearish momentum holds as price stays under key resistance

RCI is positioned below the MA-20 at $32.96, MA-50 at $33.98, and MA-200 at $36.92, with the Ichimoku Kijun at $33.41 serving as immediate resistance. Momentum signals remain negative, as MACD stands at Strong Sell and ADX also registers Sell. The RSI indicator sits at 37.1 in Sell territory, while Stochastic RSI is Overbought. CCI remains Neutral, Bull/Bear Power signals buying interest, and the Awesome Oscillator is holding a Neutral stance. Short-term oscillators show a divergence, with some upward momentum even as the prevailing session skewed bearish.

Range-bound trade expected amid downside risk outweighing upside

In the coming 2–3 trading days, RCI is expected to trade within the $31.76 to $33.78 range, consistent with typical volatility. There is a 29% probability of an upward move, suggesting downside action remains more probable. Baseline scenario points to range-bound trading. A bullish move may unfold if the price breaks above the $33.41 resistance, whereas a drop below $31.76 would likely accelerate further selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Rogers Communications Inc. as pressured by persistent cost issues despite rising sales and a maintained dividend. Technical indicators remain mostly negative, with the price locked below key moving averages and oscillators split on direction. He believes near-term action is likely range-bound, with elevated risks to the downside unless resistance at CA$33.41 is reclaimed. "Until the stock regains CA$33.41, I remain cautious and do not trust any upside moves here."

Earlier, analysts noted that Rogers Communications stock remained under supply-driven pressure despite solid operational performance and a strong dividend yield. The current backdrop of mixed earnings and persistent bearish momentum confirms prevailing downside risks, making any sustained move above the $33.41 resistance an important signal for potential trend reversal.
