Cogeco’s revenue came in at $713 million for the period ended Feb. 28, falling more than 5% year-over-year from $753.2 million.
The company also updated its guidance, lowering its expected revenue and adjusted earnings before deductions for the 2026 fiscal year, citing higher pressure on its U.S. internet subscriber revenue.

Cogeco Communications Inc., the company’s cable and internet subsidiary, reported a profit of $83.6 million during the period, rising from $79.6 million during the prior year quarter.
