TELUS Corporation (TU) Achieves Record Free Cash Flow and Industry Leading Customer Growth in 2025

TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU) is one of the best Canadian stocks to buy under $20. On February 12, TELUS reported record financial results for 2025, headlined by a full-year free cash flow of $2.2 billion, an 11% increase over the previous year. The company maintained its position as an industry leader in customer growth, adding 1.1 million mobile and fixed customers. Furthermore, TELUS achieved its 12th straight year of postpaid mobile phone churn below 1%, ending 2025 with a churn rate of 0.97%.

Despite strong customer additions, the company is navigating a highly competitive wireless environment characterized by irrational promotional tactics.
