-- (加拿大国家银行 Adam Shine 的评论) 据《环球邮报》周一报道,加拿大电信运营商罗杰斯通信公司 (Rogers Communications,股票代码:RCI-B.TO) 正向其 25,000 名员工中的一半提供自愿离职方案。 该报称,这是近年来电信行业在增长放缓背景下规模最大的一次裁员。 以下是路透社报道中的一些细节,该报道已发布在 BNN Bloomberg 网站上: - 报道称,罗杰斯周一表示,将向多个业务部门的员工提供离职方案,但并未说明是否有裁员目标。 - 罗杰斯发言人扎克·卡雷罗 (Zac Carreiro) 告诉《环球邮报》:“我们正在采取措施调整成本结构,以反映当前商业环境的实际情况。作为其中的一部分,一些团队选择提供自愿离职和退休计划,让部分员工可以选择是继续留在公司还是开启新的篇章。” 报告称,公司部分团队,包括电视主持人、Rogers Sports and Media旗下Sportsnet的员工以及工会成员,均不符合离职补偿计划的资格。 Rogers尚未回复路透社的置评请求。 本月初,Rogers预测2026年的资本支出将比2025年水平下降约30%,原因是该公司在严峻的价格环境下控制了支出。 加拿大国家银行分析师Adam Shine指出,《环球邮报》报道称,Rogers“正在向其50%的员工提供自愿离职补偿方案,但不包括枫叶体育娱乐公司(Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment)。”枫叶体育娱乐公司约占Rogers总员工数(约25,000人)的3,000人。Shine表示,根据标题直接推断,这可能涉及多达11,000名员工,但他补充道:“不太可能。” Shine指出,Shaw Communications早在2018年就向其约14,000名员工中的6,500人提供了买断方案。该公司预计约有10%的员工会接受该方案,但实际接受的人数接近3,300人。这约占符合条件员工的51%,占这家有线电视公司员工总数的23.5%以上。 Shine还指出,Rogers过去也曾推行过类似的自愿买断计划,但这些计划的规模和接受率总是远低于文章中暗示和推断的水平。 Shine表示:“该公司目前的计划是有限制的,最终获得自愿买断的员工人数将取决于公司自身的政策。Shaw的计划未必遵循同样的模式。” “在等待加拿大无线通信行业在2026年第一季度后恢复持续稳健发展之际,罗杰斯公司面临着重新调整杠杆的挑战。该公司计划在2026年下半年收购MLSE剩余的25%股份,之后将通过体育/媒体资产的货币化逐步降低杠杆率。在第一季度财报发布前,其年度有机去杠杆化前景并不乐观,而且似乎没有多少回旋余地来应对预计在2027年上半年进行的体育/媒体资产货币化。第一季度宣布的大幅削减资本支出使年度有机去杠杆化能力翻了一番,同时加速的员工流失也将有助于在竞争激烈的市场环境、积极的促销活动以及惩罚性监管等因素的影响下合理控制成本。管理层指出,这些因素正是调整资本支出预期的原因。” Shine写道。 我们注意到,罗杰斯公司在收购肖氏电信时承诺,将在五年内在加拿大西部创造3000个就业岗位,并在收购十周年之际至少维持这3000个新增岗位。在其第二份与西部承诺相关的年度合规报告中(该承诺包括在卡尔加里设立加拿大西部总部),该公司指出,其进展顺利,并已新增1828名员工。 加拿大国家银行对罗杰斯公司的评级为“跑赢大盘”,目标价为62.00加元。 (市场动态新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话和/或其他媒体渠道。我们认为这些信息来自可靠来源,但可能包含传闻和猜测。我们不保证其准确性。)
