Leadership

SI estimate

5.8/10

What are the people in charge doing?

SI estimate 5.8/10, confidence 20 of 100 (family median).

weight 22% of this tense · 50th percentile among 5 sector filers · read for its shareholders

SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed

Why it is an estimate: It files no Form 8-K (a foreign issuer reports on Form 6-K), so officer and director changes cannot be read there; no officer or director has filed a Form 3, 4 or 5 for it in the last fifteen months, so the years in charge cannot be read, so the desk assumes the typical reading of its industry family, the median of 5 members with one.
What the record cannot read: It files no Form 8-K (a foreign issuer reports on Form 6-K), so officer and director changes cannot be read there; no officer or director has filed a Form 3, 4 or 5 for it in the last fifteen months, so the years in charge cannot be read.
How it was reasoned: family median, 5 readings behind it.
Confidence: 20 of 100
What would change it: Its next annual report on file with the inputs replaces this estimate with the filed reading.

From the record

SI estimate, not a filed reading: Telus Corporation's leadership is put at 5.8 of 10 with a confidence of 20 of 100, because it files no Form 8-K (a foreign issuer reports on Form 6-K), so officer and director changes cannot be read there; no officer or director has filed a Form 3, 4 or 5 for it in the last fifteen months, so the years in charge cannot be read, so the desk assumes the typical reading of its industry family, the median of 5 members with one. Its next annual report on file with the inputs replaces this estimate with the filed reading.

Growth drivers

3.7/10

What could actually drive growth from here?

bottom 37% of 13 in its family for growth drivers.

weight 45% of this tense · 37th percentile among 13 sector filers · read for its customers

From the record

Telus Corporation's growth drivers, from the filed years to fiscal 2025: revenue grew 3.7% a year over the last three filed years against 5.4% over all 10, slowing (bottom 42% of its family); the newest year grew 0.6% (bottom 19%); capital spending grew -6.1% a year (top 50%) (its annual reports). Telus Corporation tags no split of its revenue by line in the annual report on file, so growth by line cannot be read here; research and capital spending are on the trend.

What it rests on
