Our model rates TU Weak (34/100) on growth, profitability, financial health, and valuation. The summary below is built from its filed financials and current ratios and refreshes automatically.
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what TU'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. TU trades near $10.34, below its 50-day average ($12.03) and 200-day average ($13.36). 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 15 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. TU's is $0.27 (~2.6% 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 TU found buyers near $10.08 (support) and sellers near $12.38 (resistance); its 52-week range is $10.08–$16.74. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.5× 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.

Where this stock sits versus what most companies trade at.
Typical ranges are general references (e.g., many stocks trade at ~18–26x earnings), not hard rules. Context only — not investment advice.
The case for TU:
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~31.9%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- Pays a 11.4% dividend on top of any price gains.
The case against TU:
- Revenue growth is slow (0.1%), limiting the upside engine.
- Thin net margins (4.6%) leave little room for error.
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 2.0x) adds financial risk.
- Our model's overall read is Weak (34/100).
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 2.0x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Growth risk — sluggish revenue (0.1%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.
Margin risk — thin profitability (4.6%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: Telus Corporation is a large-cap communication services business growing at a mature pace, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 24.7x earnings, which our model scores Weak (34/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
