Confirming evidence
- • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +4.5.
Contradictions & invalidation
- • Canadian service revenue, mobile ARPU, legacy services, and margins remain under pressure. [#PR-2026-05-07](https://www.bce.ca/cs-assets/2026-q1-release.pdf-blt89bc5413ea2f754c)
- • Capital intensity and cash-flow conversion may remain pressured by network and Ziply Fiber investment.
- • The main risk is that Canadian service weakness, lower mobile ARPU, promotional intensity, margin compression, and elevated capital spending persist.
