Only 2 analysts cover this. A Toronto-based telecom company that operates entirely outside of Canada. They are a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). They cut deals with Verizon (VZ-N) or T Mobile to buy rates from them, brand it under their own name, resell it, and have their own customer service. They really focus on customer service. Their value proposition is about half of what the incumbents charge in the US. Because they are using someone else’s infrastructure, it is a capital efficient business with about a 29% ROE. Management has been buying back a lot of shares.
